Being Yoked Gives Us Opportunity To Learn The Nature Of Christ.

Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11.29.

Sometimes God puts a careful person and a careless person together, or a strong person and a weak person together, or a healthy person and a sick person together, or a clever person and an ignorant person together, or a quick-tempered person and a slow-tempered person together, or a tidy person and a sloppy person together. So that one will be the yoke to the other, and vice versa.

This gives them both the opportunity to learn the nature of Christ. And if you struggle against it, you will have no rest. But if you say to God, “I will take up the yoke You give me, I am willing to take my place, I am willing to obey,” you will find rest and joy.
