    The Yoke And The Burden

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 13, 2013
     | 6,063 views

    What does it mean that Jesus imposes a light yoke and easy burden?

    The short passage we just heard from St. Matthew can be interpreted on many levels, but I’d like to focus on what the original meaning probably was. The image given is of a pair of oxen, tied together with a heavy wooden yoke, and harnessed to a plow. Jesus promises a yoke that is easier, ...read more

    Yokes can be broken off, yokes can be shaken off, yokes can be destroyed (Ezekiel 34:27). God is going to destroy every yoke of barrenness and free us from every bondage, captivity and slavery to barrenness. But we must come, we must come to Jesus

    What is a Yoke? There are two types of yokes. The first is the yoke of the Lord. In Matthew 11:29, Jesus said “take my yoke upon you”. So, Jesus has a yoke which we must take on, which we must carry. A yoke is something that is given you to carry. The yoke of the Lord is what God gives us to ...read more

    These words of Jesus are popular: “Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Ah! The key words: "rest for your souls". It is a spiritual message. Yoke yourself to Jesus. He has obeyed perfectly and will share His salvation.

    There is no reason for us to be bound by the yokes of bondage the devil puts on us.

    Isaiah best describes the anointing of the Spirit. He sets the stage with a brief history lesson and in verse 24 he speaks the word of the Lord to the people of his day, “…do not be afraid of the Assyrians, who beat you with a rod and lift up a club against you, as Egypt did” (v. 24, NIV). It’s ...read more

    The Easy Yoke

     | 10,367 views

    Christ doesn’t free us from the service of God, but he makes a yoke for us that fits so well the task seem easy. It’s not that Jesus demands any less of us, but that he graciously helps his followers. We don’t have to carry our burden alone.

There were just about 100 campers camping this week, and around 40 paid staff and volunteers working around the clock to make sure everyone had tons of fun. Numbers-wise, it was the biggest week of the year. It was also ...read more

    Satan is an unforgiving taskmaster. He loads his subjects with heavy yokes and sits on top them. Jesus is a burden bearer. He takes away the burden of his children and carries and cares for them.

    TEXT: Isaiah 46:1-2 "Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast. They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into ...read more
