Matthew 11:30 For
my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
1 John 5:3 In
fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not
burdensome,
Galatians 5:1 For
freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again
to a yoke of slavery.
John 8:36 So if
the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
Acts 15:10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear?
Acts 15:10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of Gentiles a yoke that neither we nor our ancestors have been able to bear?
If we let him, God will lighten our loads. Why don’t you try
traveling light? Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and carry
heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.” Try it! Try it for the sake of
those you love. How do you embrace someone if your arms are full of
bags? For the sake of those you love, learn to set them down.
And for the sake of the God you serve, do the same. God has
a great race for you to run. But you have to drop some stuff. How can
you share grace if you’re full of guilt? How can you offer comfort if
you’re disheartened? God is saying, “Set it down, child. I’ll carry that
one.” What do you say we take God up on his wonderful offer? We just
might find ourselves traveling a little lighter.
