Yoked
“Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
It's Jesus' invitation to religious people. A life 'for God' is burdensome and exhausting. Here Jesus invites us to live life 'with God'. Yoked to Jesus, we learn by observation and participation. And we never have to wonder if we've done enough. Our souls are refreshed by being with Jesus in the moment, every moment.
The world is refreshed, too, when we bring Jesus and our synced-up lives into every place we go. Or maybe it's best to say Jesus brings us along where he's already at work.
