A Yoke Load

 

"Make The Burden Light"

Matthew 11:25-29

Well, I have started a series called 

"Following Jesus" At my first attempt with 

this lesson I wanted to call it 

"The Yoke Is On You" I got to 

talkin' to myself and said "Kim, you 

better not so I thought it through

and decided on the obvious answer "No!"

I would add this clip I am reading 

Matthew 11:25-29 and as well 

it looks like this will be the sermon 

on Sunday as well from 

my preacher, Well he will have his

in sermon form, mine is just a report.

So I will keep my paper a little light

but also heavy handed. Pardon my 

pun. 

Following Jesus and living by His ways 

are the right way, no one ever said it 

was going to be easy, so lace up your 

shoes and let's get started. 

This is one thing no one has to do alone.

Jesus is already with you making your load

lighter. We need to trust in Him. Jesus is 

inviting us to follow his teachings.

We should rely on his guidance and 

then our burdens won't seem as heavy.

We can find peace and rest through our 

difficulties, life will feel less 

overwhelming to us. Jesus is with us 

always and he provides support for 

us and strength.

You see, we must give up "our ways" 

we need to focus on Jesus. So I 

am guessing here this is what it

means "His yoke is easy" To follow

in his teachings. 

The burden is light means 

"He will share the weight of it with you,

making your path easier to bear" 

The Yoke is the strong hold of Jesus,

He carries our burdens and makes 

the load easier. 

When we receive his guidance we 

should always 

Thank God 

Confess our sins 

Have a sense of humor 

Listen to others

Ask questions 

Put Others first. 

Become more humble to God. 

Easy right? Not really why? I am 

imperfect. I'm just worshiping and 

following Jesus. The one thing I have 

learnt though. Jesus is the way, the only 

way. Remember this it makes my 

worries seem smaller.
