I Will Give You Rest (830)
The yoke of Jesus is a lifelong learning process, but this learning does not produce fatigue, but rest for our souls. Jesus is not taking away any yoke, but rather he is offering a gentle new yoke for all of us. But it also needs the willingness of all of us to accept it. A yoke does not work individually. This needs teamwork between each one of us and Jesus. If the load is very heavy, Jesus tells you calm down, let me take you out of this, but don’t get rid of the yoke because I promised you and I will not let you alone.
