Bearing The Yoke Of Jesus

A man, carrying a bag of potatoes on his back, was asked by a skeptic: "How do you know you’re saved?" The man took a few steps and then dropped the bag. Then he said: "How do I know I dropped the bag? I haven’t looked around." "No," replied the man. You can tell by the lessening of the weight." "Yes," replied the other, "that’s how I know I’m saved. I’ve lost the guilty feeling of sin and sorrow, and have found peace and satisfaction in my Lord and Savior." (“The Elim Emanuel”, http://elbourne.org/sermons/index.mv?illustration+3586)

Conclusion

Allow yourself to be yoked to Jesus and He will lead you down the path of salvation. Allow yourself to be yoked to Jesus and he will lead you and teach you how to survive the burdens of your life. Allow yourself to be yoked to Jesus and He will bear your burdens for you, support you when you need to be supported and provide relief from the everyday stresses of life.

When you’re over your head with burdens, remember, they are still under the feet of Jesus. He is always able to pull you up from the difficulties and set your life right with Him.

Amen.
