			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-287" title="yoke" src="http://firstbaptistfernwood.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/yoke.jpg" alt="yoke" width="123" height="80" />Mat 11:28-30</strong> <strong><em>Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  (29)  Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  (30)  For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light</em></strong>.</p>
<p>To a graceless neck the yoke of Christ is intolerable, but to the saved sinner it is easy and light. We may judge ourselves by this, do we love that yoke, or do we wish to cast it from us? (Charles Spurgeon)</p>
<p>Christ calls a profession of faith in him, and subjection to his ordinances, a yoke, in allusion to the law of Moses, and in distinction from it; and a &#8220;burden&#8221;, with respect to the very heavy ones the Scribes and Pharisees laid upon the shoulders of the people, obliging them to a strict observance of them; though of a different nature from either of them; &#8220;for his commandments are not grievous&#8221;, hard and heavy to be borne, as their&#8217;s were, but &#8220;easy and light&#8221;: not that they are so to unregenerate men, or are easily performed by the strength of nature, and power of men&#8217;s free will: but they are good and amiable, and lovely in their own nature, and are cheerfully complied with, and abundance of spiritual pleasure and delight is enjoyed in them by believers, when they have the presence of God, the assistance of his Spirit, and the discoveries of his love. (John Gill)</p>
