Yoked to Christ

From my message last week, here’s a nugget for those who weren’t there and worth revisiting for those who were:
Jesus promises us AN EASY YOKE – 

A Sunday school teacher read Matthew 11:30 to the children in her class, and then asked: “Jesus said, ‘My yoke is easy.’ Who can tell me what a yoke is?” A boy raised his hand and replied, “A yoke is something they put on the necks of animals so they can help each other.”

Then the teacher asked, “What is the yoke Jesus puts on us?” A quiet little girl raised her hand and said, “It is God putting His arm around us.”

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 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. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matt. 11:28-30

As has been said, “I may know what it is to be in the army of God, but do I know what it is to be in the arms of God?”
