My Yoke Is Easy
Finding Spiritual Rest in Christ

My Yoke Is Easy
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout →

It is a mistake for believers to attempt to bear life's heavy burdens alone. A yoke is specifically designed for two, and Christ invites us to step into the yoke beside Him[cite: 39]. He shoulders the heaviest load and gives true spiritual rest to our souls[cite: 39].

Matthew 11:28-30: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

GOD Bless You All. : )[cite: 39]
