The Easy Yoke

The common human weakness is to want what is right but, at the same time, to avoid the discipline that would create rightness.

If we WANT our lives to enrich the Kingdom we must be willing to embrace the discipline and the Way of life to which He calls us. The Good News is, "My yoke is easy and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:30).

What is the secret of the easy yoke? The purposeful, unyielding practice of living as Jesus lived, recognizing the inherent equipping power of a life in sustained, willful fellowship with the Father.

When we ONLY say what we hear Him say and ONLY do what we see Him do, our yoke does become easy and our burden light.

That is why what Christ wanted (our redemption) Christ accomplished. How He lived (in communion with His Father) brought about the resolve to walk in what He knew to be right.

Your life was ransomed. Now your life is a ransom for others.
