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.

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
