"Are you tired?
Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll
recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me
and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I
won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and
you'll learn to live freely and lightly." “Matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)

How on earth is this Possible???
A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they
can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.
John 10:10 (MSG)
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:30 (KJV)
Definition of a Yoke
(King James Word)
In
biblical times and yoke was placed around a pair of animals (usually oxen) to
plow a field. The wise farmer though
would pair a strong, experienced, mature ox with a weaker, inexperienced
immature ox so that the older ox would set the pace and train the younger ox.
Additionally, when one followed a Rabbi - his teachings - his interpretations of the Torah/Law/Mishna was called a "Yoke".
When you followed a Rabbi - you would take us his "Yoke" and follow him.
