Theme: Bearing The Burden

Crisis Converted Then:

Who should bear the burden in a covenant relationship between a god and his people? Apparently, Yahweh must bear the burden. His people are wearing him out with their continuous offenses. They bring offerings but their hearts aren’t in it. Grain offerings and incense are the easiest kind of offering, but God’s people can’t be burdened even with those. Instead, God is wearied and burdened by his wayward people. 

Crisis Converted Now:

Who should pay the price for our sin and indifference? Apparently, God does. He offered his covenants with people throughout the ages, but our rebellious forefathers never lived up to our small share, even with the simplest of sacrifices. Instead, our sins pile up and God bears the burden. His Son takes them upon his shoulders and carries them to a cross. Now, we can follow this Savior - one whose yoke is easy and whose burden is light.
