Rest



28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 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.
30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.


Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV)

(Yokes were put on the necks of animals, so that they could pull a plow or wagon. A yoke was a symbol of obedience and hard work.)

A yoke also allows two animals to combine their strength. I picture Jesus yoked next to me. If his yoke is light, mine must be light also.
