Farmers in ancient Israel used to train an inexperienced ox by yoking it to an experienced one with a wooden harness. The straps around the older animal were tightly drawn. He carried the load. While the yoke around the younger animal was loose. He walked along side the mature ox; however, his burden was light. Jesus is saying, “I walk alongside you. We are yoke together. I pull the weight and carry your burden.”
As an SGL individual, do you often wonder, how many burdens is Jesus carrying for you that you know nothing about? I am aware of some. He carries my sin. He carries my shame. He carries my eternal debt. However, are their others? Has He lifted fears before I felt them? Has He carried my confusion so that I would not have to? What about those times when I have been surprised by my own sense of peace? Could it be that Jesus has lifted my anxiety onto His shoulders and placed A Yoke of Kindness on mine? Yes, He definitely has.
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Matthew 11:29 The MSG
