Find Rest In Him
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
In Bible times, the economy of the world was largely agricultural, so the meaning of “yoke” was easy to comprehend. To plow a field, you would place a yoke on a cow, ox, or horse with a plow attached and drive the animal forward to break up the ground preparing a field for sowing.
Jesus offers us a yoke, but not a heavy one. The Lord promised us a light yoke, with rest for our souls. No doubt, it is the burden of sin that He intended to relieve us from, giving us true rest.
Taking up Jesus’ yoke is equivalent to laying down a heavy burden, since His yoke offers rest, and He offers to carry our burden of sin.
If you are burdened about anything, lay it at His feet and be relieved. It is time to enter His rest
