Jesus' Yoke

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:29-30

Loving God means keeping His commandments, and really, that isn't difficult.
I John 5:3 NLT

Christianity has not so much been tried and found wanting, as it has been found difficult and left untried.
- G.K. Chesterton

Proverbs 13:15

• NKJV Good understanding gains favor, But the way of the unfaithful is hard.
• NLT A person with good sense is respected; a treacherous person walks a rocky road.
• There is a greater cost to NOT being a disciple!

He has shown you, O man,
what is good; And what does the LORD require of you
But to do justly, To love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8

How?

• By faith!
  
• The instruction of Jesus to take His yoke upon us is to learn from Him how to live our lives.
  
• The secret is to look to Him, follow Him, and imitate Him.
  
• Like Jesus, our goal must be to please the Father and accomplish His will.
  
• Matthew 6:19-34

I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 1:9
