T

This is how God views all of us when we paint ourselves better than we ought to.

proverbs

Pride is not the issue of what you possess but what possesses your heart?

When its not God then its you, your wants, your desires, your passions.

This was the difference between the rich young ruler who sought righteousness through works and zacheus who was a tax collector.

The pharisee who says i thank you God i am not like other men Vs. the tax collector that beats his chest and says, “O, Lord have mercy upon me a sinner.)

The 12 disciples that were fisherman, commoners Vs. the saavy religious leaders with all their fancy wardrobe.

Its the difference between the proud in heart and the poor in spirit.

Gods not looking for the big shots but the nobodies.

Not the ones that think they are something but the ones that know they are nothing.

This is the problem with the religious leaders of this day they couldn’t get passed this Jesus fellow and his radical claims of himself and them.

for one they were putting on a show of hypocrisy.

Beware of false teachers

For it was what He claim to be is why they sought to kill him.

He claim to be one with God… and in more clear terms to be God.

The path to the Father is through the son.

They could not see who the person was that was standing right in front of them.

The miracles that he worked to prove who He was.

I love whom Jesus invites, but also to what he invites them.

After verse 28, “and I will give you rest,” perhaps you expected to read something about a vacation destination, a new recliner, a relaxing massage, or a sleeping pill.

Instead you find a work order: “Take my yoke upon you” (v.

29).

Do you know what a yoke is? It’s an instrument for work.

It is a wooden frame that is placed upon the shoulders in order to make a load or burden easier to carry.

It is designed to distribute the weight in equal proportions to both sides of the body.

Do you see the paradox here?

“What yoke is comfortable, what burden light?”18

Jesus doesn’t promise escape from reality, but he promises the right equipment to deal with it.

He promises a yoke.

A yoke!

But what is his yoke?

“Take my yoke upon you.”

His yoke has something to do with his teachings, because he adds “and learn from me” (v.

29).

So, it is not the heavy yoke of the scribes and Pharisees.

It is not those “heavy burdens,” as Jesus calls them in 23:4 (cf.

15:1–9), that Israel’s rulers have laid upon “people’s shoulders” (23:4).

Biblical burdens, if we can call them that, have a lightness to them because they have been graciously given by God as gifts to help us, given from the mouth of a man who is indeed, in every way, “gentle and lowly in heart,” one who has carried them himself (5:17)—our Lord Jesus!

He gives us the example to which He lived by.

He left a throne for rags.

Glory for a cross

Praise for rebuke

That He would with a mighty and strong arm save sinners.

If you love me then you will obey me.

Gives us wisdom for life and life to come.

Spiritual rest for your weary soul that is craving to be satisfied is found in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
