A yoke distributes a heavy load, so that it can be carried without crushing oneself. Life is heavy, and hard. So why does Jesus say this can be easy and light?
Perhaps it is our self that is so heavy. The narcissist finds no rest because the load of self is unrelenting. The Surendar and coming under another’s yoke is a release, and a rest. It is His yoke, the incarnate God-man, not ours.
There is a saying: “Life is not about me, I am about life”
Be at rest, be at peace! It’s not up to you. Surrender your will and come under the yoke of Jesus, the lordship of Christ.
