Matthew
11:29
"Take my yoke upon you,
and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest
for your souls." ESV
In contrast to the religiosity
of the Scribes and Pharisees, the way of the spiritual life Jesus lived and
taught us is much less cumbersome and bound by traditions. His way is mild and
gentle. Jesus showed us by His life that He was not stern, overbearing, or
oppressive. It is in freedom that we walk as He did, not in obligation and
oppression.
Heavenly Father, how thankful
we are that Jesus walked this earth and showed us how to live. We praise You for
the work at the cross that freed us from sin and the law. Help us to live in the
freedom of Jesus Christ, without obligation, but with open hearts. In Jesus'
name, Amen.
