A Hidden TreasureShare The Burden

Come To Me

After thanking the Father, Jesus then opened His arms inviting people to come to Him. 

This is surely one of the most comforting passages of the bible. “Come to Me all you who labour and are burdened and I will give you rest.” 

His plan is simple.  He takes the example of two farm animals harnessed together to pull a heavy load.  Let us share the burden by shouldering this together.  In those days the harness, or yoke, was made of wood.   It was very carefully shaped to the measurements of the animals’ necks and shoulders. If the two pulling the load are out of step the yoke cuts into the shoulders. 

But, pull together in harmony and the burden is light.  “Learn from Me”, said Jesus.  Come at My pace. I am gentle and humble of heart.  Gentleness will not force the pace.  Humility will not seek to dominate.  Come at My pace.  We will share the burden and you will find rest for your soul.
