Come Unto Me And Rest

The rest we see in this and Matthew chapter eleven is mainly Spiritual, even though a physical one is used to help establish the precept or statue. It is the foreshadowing the coming of Jesus and the rest the all of mankind would have in Him. Notice that not even the entrance into the promised land was a total physical rest to the people, but only to those who would believe and that there was another day of rest that Joshua promised.
