Nice n' Easy
‘the yoke emphasises the challenges, work and difficulties of partnering with Christ in life. Responsibilities weigh us down, even the effort to stay true to God, but Jesus’ yoke remains easy compared to the crushing alternative. Jesus doesn’t offer a life of luxurious ease – the yoke is still an oxen’s tool for hard work. But its a shared yoke with the weight falling on bigger shoulders than yours.’ – study notes c/o my lovely NIV
