An invitation into God's holy rest
Matthew 11:28-30
Matthew 11:28-30 NIV
Philippians 2:6 NIV
The "yoke" analogy teaches us 2 things:
1. Jesus is pulling NEXT TO US, making the burden far more manageable.
2. Coming under His yoke means giving Jesus the freedom to DIRECT US.
More often than not, sin is when I choose to go to the wrong source for relief from my burden.
"The posture most natural to [Jesus] is not a pointed finger, but open arms."
Gentle & Lowly, by Dane Ortlund, p19.
My NEXT STEP with God this week:
Bring your weariness or your burden to Jesus. Let Him come alongside of you and lighten the load.
