Bible Question: What does He mean by His Yoke... take My Yoke upon you. What is His Yoke? |
Bible Answer: Greetings always4him! As I read this verse, I see a wonderful word picture emerge. A yoke is an instrument used to connect two individuals(usually a pair of oxen or draft horses). Jesus is the yoke to connect us with the Father. The yoke of Jesus is His atoning and substitutionary death for us! All we have to do is accept it! "Take My yoke upon you . . .YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS." See also Heb 4:3 Blessings, mommmapbs |
