THE SPORTS YOKE!

Hi There,
I was reading Mathew 11.25 where Jesus says Father thank you for hiding the truth from those who think themselves wise and clever and for revealing it to the childlike.He is so amazing that many a time he leaves scholars dumbfounded by the revelation of christ spoken out by the judged to be "uneducated".
As we read on he says "Come to me all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens and I will give you rest.He continues ..take my yoke upon you and let me teach you because iam humble and gentle and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke fits perfectly and the burden I give you is light. WOW!
YOKES are used to hold oxen on to a one track job like ploughing a field and thats normally done with a whip as an incentive..normally these yokes are made standard and sometimes it eats into the flesh leaving scars..

So what is this light perfect fit yoke that Jesus is talking about? The regular yoke when attached on to your neck makes you do the motions whether you like it or not because at the end of the day you need your INCENTIVE.However the yoke that Jesus is talkin about is not something thats imposed on you nor does it cause scars if accepted willingly.With the yoke He will gently move along with you. When the devil says that you are not worthy and you will not be able to live upto his standards, he will gently guide you with encouraging promises like "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man and God is faithful, he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear but when you are tempted he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.(1 cor 10:13) " and when the tempter comes and tell you that you are finshed he will gently guide you through another promise " that as we grow in our knowledge of God through his divine power he gives us everything we need for life and godliness (2 peter 1:3)"

Now again the tempter will say but how can a holy God forget your evil deeds and God will teach you gently through Hebrews 8:12 and 10:17, “For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Each time you feel down he will come to your side and make sure that you get up and even when you try to run away he will humbly call you again and again and make sure that you rise up and shine.Slowly you will see that the yoke thats upon you is not a burden but a pleasure to carry and sometimes you may feel that the yoke is carrying you.Wherever you look you will see that the fields are white and ready for harvest and the yoke that you carry becomes a effective tool which empowers you. and as you move forward you wil see the fields behind you are already harvested and you will see mercy and goodness following you the rest of the days of your life..

What he has done in my life he can do in yours too.Dont get stuck on religion because thats not what Jesus came to do or establish, he came to restablish your relation ship with The Father..stay blessed

Your brother in Christ
