(KJV.) ST. MATTHEW 11:29
(29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
TAKE HIS YOKE UPON YOU!
Grace be unto you! A yoke is something that binds two things together; for example, in other, for two cows to work or walk together in the same direction cooperating with one another, the farmer might bind them together with a wooden yoke, many times, these yokes are heavy and similar to a burden upon their shoulders, but they are not really meant in any type ways to be a burden upon them, rather to direct their ways, and to help them manage other duties and responsibilities bond unto the yokes.
Therefore, Jesus had to yoke together with God, our Father, while on the earth; you see! though he was here with us, the Kingdom message that he preached, and the miracles performed, was directed from above, cf. John 17:8, as he heard from God, he did whatever he was directed to do on the earth; therefore, he encourages you and me, to do the same thing, take his yoke upon us, meaning to hook up together with him, learn of his ways by the reading of his words, acquiring his attributes by the renewing of our mindsets, and be transformed into his image by the resurrection power of Holy Spirit; to perfect ourselves in Jesus Christ, a believer has to be meek, and lowly in heart: to be meek, is to be gentle, humble, submissive, and long suffering; Moses, the servant of God, was very meek above all the men which were upon the face of the earth. cf. Numbers 12:3; therefore, to be used mightily on the earth by Jesus Christ, a believer should acquire the following Christlike attributes, meekness, patience, long-suffering, forbearance, etc.; my friend, as meekly as Prophet Moses was upon the earth; at a certain point and time, during his assignment, he lost patience with the children of God, when they chid against him for water. cf. Numbers 20:1-13; as a result, he could not enter into the promised land; therefore, unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required,...cf. St. Luke 12:48; take the yoke of Jesus upon you, have patience, peace for your soul; to be lowly in the heart, is to be humble in the spirit as well, to be humble in the spirit, is not be a downcasted soul, but rather be approachable, not to be proud or arrogant in the spirits; but, always putting God, the Father first in everything you do, and other people needs ahead of yours; this is what Jesus will do!
Beloved, there is no other way for a man to experience peace on the earth unless through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; at the end of his assignment on earth, and before his ascension into heaven, he blessed his disciples with peace, cf. John 14:27, therefore, believers, take his yoke upon you, learn of him, be meek and lowly in heart, have his peace for your souls, rest peacefully in him, freedom from worries, anxieties, and from cares of life; trust in Jesus, for salvation, free grace, peace, joy, hope and eternal life. Continue ye in Love! Jesus is coming back again soon! Peace and Love be unto you! Amen and Amen! Thank you for your time spent with me! You're blessed!
