Regarding your post on Matthew 11:28-30 “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 find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Awhile back I searched yoking oxen. I wanted to see if I could get a deeper understanding of what Jesus was saying concerning His yoke.
One thing I found out is that 2 oxen that have spent a lot of time yoked together will not usually separate by choice. Where one is, the other is usually nearby.
I thought that was really interesting, given that Jesus said for us to take His yoke on us and learn of Him. The more we do that, the more likely we are to want to stay close to Him, I think.
Thanks to you and everyone else for the great, encouraging verses.
