'Come
to Me, all you who are Weary and Burdened,
AND
I WILL GIVE YOU REST.
Take
My Yoke upon you and learn from Me,
For
I am Gentle and Humble in heart,
And
you will fine Rest for your souls.
For
My Yoke is Easy and My Burden is Light.'
(Matthew
11:28-30)
In
order to find Rest In Christ
We
must first take His Yoke upon ourselves.
The
Yoke of Christ is complete Trust in Christ;
Complete
reliance upon Christ
And
His Infinite Love and Power;
It is
allowing Christ to live In and Through us
By the
Power of His Indwelling Spirit;
It is
finding Rest in Obedience to His Commands.
He
becomes our Way, our Truth and our Life.
His
Yoke is Easy and His Burden is Light
Because
it is Reliance upon the One Who is All Powerful,
All
knowing, All seeing, and Present Everywhere.
It is
He Who carries our Burdens,
When
we give them to Him;
Trusting
Him, is to give Him our Burdens.
It is
understanding the Gentle and Humble heart of Christ;
That
even though He is All Powerful,
He is
also Gentle and Humble in heart
And
therefore, we can be Gentle and Humble in heart,
Finding
Rest for our souls In Him;
In
complete reliance upon Him.
