One of the greatest promise Jesus gave us is written in the Book of Matthew 11:28-29. How can Jesus says we should take His yoke and rest at the same time it sounds strange isn"t ? But that is not what Jesus was talking about , a yoke is a harness that goes around the necks of two oxen so they can pull a load,accepting the yoke of Jesus Christ is total submission , a picture of help because you are not pulling it alone. In each team of oxen one is a leader and the other follows .Jesus takes the lead but you must be yoked to get the benefit .To enjoy intimacy with Jesus you have to bow before Him and accept His will. Jesus has promise that His yoke wont choke you , it wont be confining , infact the irony is if you want to be truly free you must allow yourself to be yoked to Jesus by submitting your will to His. Now it is possible to accept Christ yoke then start pulling against it when life doesn't go the way you want it to be .Brethren , peace and rest come only when you relax in the yoke and Christ lead the way SHALOM
