--An Easy Yoke~~

"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and
you will find rest for your souls."
---(Matthew 11:29) --

~~A Sunday school teacher read Matthew 11:30 to her class and then asked, "Jesus said, 'My yoke is easy.' Who can tell me what a yoke is?" A boy raised his hand and replied, "A yoke is something they put on the necks of animals so they can help each other."

Then the teacher asked, "What is the yoke Jesus puts on us?" A quiet little girl raised her hand and said, It is God putting His arm around us."

When Jesus came, He offered an "easy" and "light" yoke compared to the yoke of the religious leaders (Matthew 11:30). They had placed "heavy burdens" on the people (Matthew 23:4 / NKJV), which no one could possibly keep.

As we recognize our need for forgiveness, Jesus comes alongside us. He places His yoke on us, freeing us from guilt and helping us live a life that's pleasing to our heavenly Father God.

Do you need Jesus's help? He says, "Come to me...Take my yoke upon you and learn from me" (Matthew 11:28-29). He longs to put His arm around you. Go ahead, ask Him. Jesus never turns away a sincere seeker. "You are loved with an everlasting love and underneath are His everlasting arms." ~~

[**If pictures (or visuals) of Jesus offend you, maybe just listen to the words of the song and be blessed. Some like to imagine who they're talking to. Jesus is always as close as the mention of His Name.~]
