Jesus says, "Take my yoke upon you." This is an amazing invitation to personally walk alongside Jesus for the rest of your life. Say yes. We need yokes. Yolks for us are boundaries that keep us in God's will and protect us from the harm that comes to us and to others through us.
When we cast off the yokes of righteousness and love, God's righteousness and love yoke us to Jesus and we walk through life yoked to Him. How amazing to walk side by side with Jesus, walking in step with him throughout our lives during the tough times when we're weak, discouraged, grieving, when we wander off and do wrong or in debilitating pain, he takes on our burdens.
He pulls the plow. He helps us through the tough times as we stay yoked with him.
Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
