The Yoke of Jesus.
“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” Matt. 11:29. (KJV).
Do you know what a yoke is?
It was used as part of a harness to pull a cart.
It was also used to bind slaves together during a journey.
Jesus used the yoke to imply the relationship to Him.
The only difference is that this yoke makes free rather than bind.
To follow Jesus means to do as He asks.
By following Him, you are made free of sin.
Jesus also said we must learn from Him. The yoke is to adopt the nature of Jesus.
You should be gentle, humble, patient, and forgiving.
Can you take the yoke of Jesus upon you?
Embrace and allow the Fruit of the Spirit to dwell in you.
Application to the Christian life:
Take the yoke of Jesus upon you.
Daily Learn from Him.
