Matthew 11:28  Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Often people will say, "It was a come to Jesus moment." Generally the term refers to a time when a person has to admit he or she needs to get his or her life in order. I've also heard it used in sporting circles: "For the team it was a 'come to Jesus' moment'; they were going to have to try a different strategy or lose the game."

But forget the slang. What does it really mean to "come to Jesus"? Doesn't it have something to do with approaching the cross of Jesus in a spirit of humility? Doesn't it mean bowing the heart in confession and giving one's whole life to God? Doesn't it mean asking Jesus to come and lift us up because we know we can't make it without him?

When we feel worn out and beaten down by life, isn't it time to pray, "Come, Lord Jesus. Come"?
