What Did Jesus Mean When He Said His Yoke Is Easy?

Jesus invites people who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest. Then, almost immediately, He tells them to take His yoke upon them. If you’re already exhausted, why would Jesus give you something else to carry?In this episode of FaithFuel, Bob Shaw looks at Matthew 11:28–30 and what Jesus meant when He said His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Along the way, Bob shares a funny example from his own marriage that helped him recognize how easily we can add comparison and guilt to responsibilities Jesus actually gave us. Following Christ doesn’t remove every difficult responsibility, but it does teach us whose lead to follow—and which burdens were never ours to carry.I always appreciate hearing from you—feel free to reach out.Support the showIf you’re enjoying FaithFuel, a quick rating helps more people find it.Want a little extra encouragement each week?Sign up here: https://faithfuelpodcast.kit.com/70f267c8b2
