Important that those to whom the ministry of the gospel is entrusted should state with clearness the real nature of religion, neither too easy or too difficult. I. CHRISTIANS ARE UNDER THE YOKE. Not their own masters; please not themselves. What is the yoke? Obedience to His commandments. II. It is an EASY yoke. 1. In comparison with the yoke of Satan. 2. In comparison with the yoke which self-righteousness imposes on mankind. 3. As it is made easy in itself to those who wear it, Christ renders obedience pleasant to His followers. (E. Cooper.)
