Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 1. Because of the means of instruction which are afforded us, to teach us how to commence it. 2. Because of the principles on which the Christian acts; not from compulsion, but from filial affection. 3. Because of the helps which a Christian derives while maintaining the discipline of that life. 4. Because of the enjoyments that stand connected with the Christian's course. 5. Because of the prospect before him in heaven. (E. E. Jenkins.) Parallel Verses KJV: For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. |
