My Yoke is Easy, My Burden Light

Today's Gospel contains one of my favorite lines.

In Matthew 11, Jesus invites us to join him by taking up his yoke.  When I found out I was sick, I felt like my burden was so heavy that I could not bear it.  Then I heard this line.  In sharing my burden for him Jesus would help me.

So what is Jesus asking of me?  I think he is telling me that living by his teachings will not be oppressive, but a path of peace.

And I continue to live day by day remembering that it is thru His Grace that I have life, it is under his authority I continue to live every day.  And for as many days as I continue to live on this Earth, I will proclaim His glory, together with him on the yoke of salvation.
