My Yoke Is Easy

Some Christians make being a Christian into hard work.

They try to be a “good” Christian.

That is a formula for constant frustration.

Jesus said, “My yoke is easy and my burden light.”

Why don’t we try taking him at his word.

It’s simple. Love God. Love your neighbor.

Yes, love can lead to hard work—sitting with someone in pain or helping someone move from one house to another.

But the idea is simple. Don’t get on the gerbil wheel of endless striving. Notice when someone needs some help and pitch in.
