Your YOKE

Matthew 11:27&28
"27 All things are delivered unto Me of My Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him.
28 Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Yesterday we started with Jesus's TRUTH  BOMB; are you wise and prudent? Then you cannot understand the Holy Bible! Do you approach the Scriptures like a baby? Do you come to the sermon or the Bible study to learn? Are you open to the teaching of our Lord and Savior? Or, do you have it all figured out??? Have you heard it all before?? 

In today's verses, ALL THINGS were given to Jesus. Not Satan and not anyone else... "All things are delivered unto Me of My Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him." We can't really understand Jesus or God the Father. We are blessed with Holy Scriptures that describes a lot about GOD and the Holy Trinity but they are transcendent from our experience and knowledge. We can't really know them. Yet, Jesus is standing right there with His Disciples revealing Himself and the Father to them!

"Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Some of the most beautiful words in all the Holy Bible. Come to Jesus, He will let you rest. All of you that are sorrowful and burdened more than you can handle. At the moment these words were first spoken it had to do with the yoke of traditions and ordinances which the Pharisees and scribes had imposed on people. We don't have "Pharisees" today imposing on us. We do have people making laws and rules we have to follow. And we ourselves are driven and motivated to do something. We might be ambitious, addicted, workaholic, or some other way of making your own mini- empire. We YOKE ourselves to the things of this world. 

Jesus offers TRUE rest.

Mark 6:32&33 "32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. 33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew Him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto Him." This summer we read through the Gospel of Mark two times! I praise you for studying God’s word, this world needs more Holy Bible studying Christians. Before we move on from the Gospel of Mark, we are going to review what my Pastor considers the most important point in the book, (other than the events in and arond crucifixion and resurrection) the feeding of the five thousand. All four Gospels describe Jesus multiplying five loaves and two fish to feed a crowd of about 5,000 men (plus women and children in Matthew), with twelve baskets of leftovers gathered afterward. Yesterday’s verses were leading up to this momentous occasion.  The apostles returned from their first missionary journey, they reported to Jesus all they had done and taught. Jesus invited the...

broken

Luke 22:61 "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice." The cock crowed. Peter had denied Jesus—three times. Peter, who had walked on water, confessed Jesus as Messiah, and opposed the cross (earning “Get behind Me, Satan”). That day was already crushing: the Last Supper, Gethsemane, Jesus’ arrest. Peter drew his sword, then stood down. Following at a distance, he was recognized: “You were with Him.” “Man, I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Third denial. Earlier, Jesus warned Peter would deny Him thrice. Peter swore: “Even if all fall away, I never will. Even if I must die with You, I will not deny You.” (Matt 26:33–35; Mark 14:29–31; Luke 22:33–34; John 13:37–38) Now Jesus—beaten, bound—looks at Peter. Not with condemnation. With love. Peter breaks. He is not who he thought he was...

Jeroboam

2 Kings 14:25 "He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of His servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, which was of Gathhepher." We’re continuing our series on God’s calling of His people. Last week we saw how God transformed the Apostle Paul—from zealous enemy to greatest champion. A clear theme is emerging: those God calls often start with reluctance. This week we meet one of the most famous reluctant prophets, Jonah. Jonah’s first recorded prophecy appears in 2 Kings 14:25. He foretold that King Jeroboam II would restore Israel’s borders from Hamath to the Dead Sea. This prophecy came true, bringing a season of prosperity to the northern kingdom. This historical note is important. It confirms Jonah was a real prophet whose words carried divine authority. By naming him “Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher,” Scripture anchors the he...
