Sometimes we can be too focused on wanting Christ to ease our burdens that we forget that his invitation was for us to take His yoke upon us. Can we comprehend the magnitude of what that invitation might mean?
Christ’s burden was descending below all things. Therefore if I am yoked to Christ, surely that must mean I will also descend with Him.
It seems paradoxical that the pathway to finding rest from our burdens is to yoke ourselves with Christ and help carry the burden that caused Him to bleed from every pore.
But He assures us that his yoke is easy and his burden light.
