Jesus' Yoke

Those who follow Jesus’ commandment entirely, who let Jesus’ yoke rest on them without resistance, will find the burden they must bear to be light. In the gentle pressure of this yoke they will receive the strength to walk the right path without becoming weary.  Where will the call to discipleship lead those who follow it? What decisions and painful separations will it entail? We must take this question to him who alone knows the answer. Only Jesus Christ, who bids us follow him, knows where the path will lead. But we know that it will be a path full of mercy beyond measure. Discipleship is joy.


[Dietrich Bonhoeffer]



Psalm 25:4–5 ... Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths.   Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.
