Matthew 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 1. Because having come to Christ they have received the willing mind to bear it. 2. Because there is a pure satisfaction imparted to their mind even in the very exercise of self-denial and self-abasement which He enjoins. 3. Because His Presence is promised to be with His servants to make it easy and light. 4. This yoke ever becomes easier and this burden lighter as the Christian continues to bear it. 5. That it is easy in comparison with that which must otherwise be borne. (J. Macfarlane.) Parallel Verses KJV: For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. |
