“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.” - Matthew 11:28-30.
Many people are hesitant to surrender to Christ because they consider following Jesus a difficult thing to do. This thought of theirs is understandable when you see some believing Christians who think so and make it look so too.
Jesus said that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Easy said than done, I can imagine some people saying in their minds. But Jesus says what He means and means what He says. Numbers 23:19 says, “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (KJV)
Following Jesus is an easy thing to do if you totally surrender to Him and truly make Him the Lord of your life. Like Jesus Christ said, learn of Him and you shall find rest for your soul. The challenge is that we still believe the wrong teachings and want to do things our own way.
When you really get to know Jesus not just as your saviour but as your Lord and friend, you will discover that Jesus yoke is easy indeed. Jesus never asks His own to do what is impossible or difficult to be done. If it is beyond you, He will always make a way of escape for you- (1 Corinthians 10:13). Read more...
