But the root cause of the burden is that we are far away from God.
2) Visible physical problems can be a heavy burden, but spiritual problems, which are essential to human beings, are at a higher level than humans can handle on their own. In other words, we cannot be freed from sin, and we cannot escape the power of death caused by sin by ourselves. And man does not have the ability to obey God's commandments. In addition, those who have lost the right to possess and enjoy the kingdom of God cannot enjoy that happiness. They enjoy the authority as children of God who possesses the citizenship of heaven, resisting the power of sin and the power of evil spirits, and saving the souls that have died. not used in history. All these reasons are because man has turned away from God and is bound to a life separate from God.

2) As it says in verse 27, “All things have been given to me by my Father, no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and he who receives the revelation as the Son wishes.” In order to know Jesus, we encounter Jesus through his revelation, that is, through all the words that appear in the Bible. In other words, you must believe in Jesus in order to fulfill the commandments, and by believing all the promises of God, you will fully believe in Jesus. In this way, by knowing and experiencing Jesus Christ through revelation, you will meet God and be freed from labor and burdens, as well as enjoy the status of dominating and saving the world.
3) Jesus is the One who always serves us to the end of the world, empathizing with all the hardships and heavy burdens we face, no matter how heavy the burdens, whether physical or spiritual, with the love of the cross. We must not doubt the love of the Lord, which is confirmed by too many promises. The Lord who sympathizes with our burdens requires us to believe and pray so that we may always be freed from all those burdens by the grace and power of salvation that He completed on the cross. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, promises to guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. It is easy because we do not lose, the Lord gives.
