Bible Note: Here we have yet another example of quoting Scripture verses out of context, you must also read vs 29-30. Here our Lord explains that you are to take His yoke upon you, note it is "My yoke", not our, or your yoke, His yoke, the method He employes to make a heavy burden light. You are told to "Learn from Me", find out how He does it, and you will discover how you can do it. These are spiritual things, and as we are told at 1st Cor 2:14-16, spiritual things are spiritually discerned. The natural man i.e. the non christian is spiritually dead. Please explain to me Mark how a non beliver could possibly understand these verses? How can anyone other than a christian possibly take upon himself the "Yoke of Christ"? Every blessing. Edwin. |
