Weary and Heavy Laden

'Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.'  (Matt. 11:28)
You who please yourselves with being good enough now, who are not weary and heavy laden with a sense of your sins here, will be weary and heavy laden with a sense of your punishment hereafter. 
--George Whitefield, 'Christ the Only Rest for the Weary and Heavy Laden,' in The Sermons of George Whitefield (ed. Lee Gatiss; 2 vols; Crossway, 2012), 1:360
