Easy and Light

Jesus said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Yet when we look at what He actually asks us to do (don't worry, bless those who curse you, rejoice in suffering) it can feel anything but easy and light. The gap is not in His promise; it’s in how we have tried to close it. We cannot achieve these things by direct effort, in the moment they are required. We must become the kind of people who do them naturally, and spiritual disciplines are how that “becoming” happens. This weekend, as we close our series, we'll look at why the spiritual disciplines are not extra work added to the Christian life, but the very training that makes it easy and light. Support the show
