Grace for your spirit
Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My load is light. Matthew 11:29-30
Peter asked this question at the council in Jerusalem between the Jews and Gentiles. "Why do you put God to the test by placing a yoke upon the disciples which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?" Religion usually consists of a heavy burden to bear. The heavier the burden, the more holy we feel. Christianity is the release from the burdens, because Jesus carries the load for us. As a child we might try to please our dad by helping him carry the heaviest box we can find, even though he told us to bring the little one. We struggle along hoping to find favor with our dad when we don't need to do it. Eventually, he comes and carries it for us. That is the good news of Jesus. As we struggle with our holy load, Jesus picks it up along with us, and carries us along. Praise the Lord for his grace. He carries and we enjoy the ride.
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
