"Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart" (Matthew 11:29)
Christ likens himself to a farmer and us to oxen in his service. But unlike a farmer who imposes a yoke upon the oxen whether they like it or not, Christ invites us to carry his yoke. "Take my yoke upon you".
He has first asked us to come, and made a gracious promise. He next shows us how
to come. We are to come by taking HIS yoke upon us. Taking on the yoke is a
symbol of submission. The two steps by which we come, and secure the promise of
rest unto our souls are then (1) Submission to Christ, (2) Becoming his
disciples.
Christ gives him mind to us, are we willing to give our minds to him?
