Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Christ's service is easy to a spiritual mind. I. It is easy, as it is a RATIONAL service: consonant to right reason, though contradictory to depraved nature. II. Easy, as it is a SPIRITUAL service: delightful to a spiritual mind. III. Easy, as it is an ASSISTED service; considering that we work not in our own strength, but in God's. IV. Easy, when once it is an ACCUSTOMED service; though hard to beginners, it is easy to professors; the farther we walk the sweeter is our way. V. Easy, as it is the most gainful service; having the assurances of an eternal weight of glory as the reward of our obedience. (Burkitt.) Parallel Verses KJV: For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. |
