Have we put on the yoke of Christ or the yoke of the world?

Everyone is called to labour of love and to labour for love. To not do so, is to deny our very existence for we were created in love, in the likeness and image of God our Father.

The yoke of Christ is custom-made from loving hands for us, that it is fashioned to fit us snugly and comfortably . And we can bear His burden for He gives us none too great to bear. If it gets a little heavy He is there to shoulder on with us. And if we are weary He will give us rest. Amen

Praise to You Lord Jesus Christ!

GOSPEL Matthew 11:28–30

Jesus said:“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”

When we think we know all we have to know about our faith; When we think we know more than what was revealed to others through the Holy Spirit or when we think we know all there is to know about Jesus or our Heavenly Father; we have stopped growing, we have stopped loving.

Only when we open our hearts and minds like that of a child’s insatiable desire for knowledge and truth, can we know our Lord, our God.

To know our Lord is to love Him. To love Him is to constantly seek Him. To seek Him is to find Him through His Word. Amen

GOSPEL
Matthew 11:25–27

At that time Jesus exclaimed:
“I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for although you have hidden these things from the wise and the learned you have revealed them to the childlike. Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.”
