The Two Yokes In Matthew 11:25-30

The yoke in the gospel is of two kinds.

One of them burdens, the other uplifts.

One leads to misery and exhaustion. The other leads to happiness and refreshment.

The yoke that burdens is the yoke of SELFISHNESS and PRIDE.

The yoke that uplifts is the yoke of SELFLESSNESS and HUMILITY.

The latter is the yoke of Jesus.

This is what he offers in exchange of the one that drains life out of each of us.

Let us find rest in Jesus!

Let us take up the yoke of Jesus!
