Yoke!

Submit to the Yoke of Jesus Christ Is it possible that what we perceive as bondage is actually obedience in the eyes of God? Servant Marcia Carty delves into this powerful question, urging listeners to consider where their faith truly lies. Using the prophetic words of Jeremiah, she examines the story of the Israelites who, due to their idolatry and disobedience, were forced into submission under King Nebuchadnezzar. While this seemed like a curse, God called Nebuchadnezzar His "servant," revealing that in the midst of this trial lay the path to salvation and blessing. In this message, you'll learn: -- The importance of discerning between God's prophets and those who speak only what people want to hear. -- How the hardness of heart and violence in our world today are a sign that we are living in a time similar to the days of Noah. -- Why the blessings of God are often found in the places of submission and obedience that we naturally want to avoid. -- The divine purpose behind being subject to governing authorities, even when we don't agree with them. -- That putting on the "armor of light" is an act of submission to the will of God, and it is our best defense against the darkness in the world.

Welcome to our Daily B itachon . We're in chapter three of Eichah with words of chizuk from Yirmiyah HaNavi, and we are up to pasuk כ"ז: "טוֹב לַגֶּבֶר כִּי יִשָּׂא עוֹל בִּנְעוּרָיו" It is good for a man when he carries a yoke when he is still young. What exactly does that mean? On a simple level, it means start carrying the yoke when you're younger. What yoke are we referring to? The sefer Lechem Dim'ah , which we quoted yesterday from Rabbi Yuzida, says in the name of his teacher—whom we said is either the Arizal or Rabbi Chaim Vital—that yemei ne'urim : the days of our youth, refer to this world , because this is the earlier stage of our life period, the first 120 years. But we're going to live for 120,000 years . So yemei ziknah , the days of old age, refer to Olam HaBa , because they come toward the end. And therefore, it says it's good for a person to carry the yoke. What yoke? The yoke we've been talking about in the past few pesukim , and these are words of chizuk : the yoke of yissurim —the yoke of suffering , the yoke of life's challenges. So the words of chizuk that the Navi tells us is: You're still young. You have a whole life to live. What do you mean, a whole life? I'm 120 years old—is that young? Yes—you have a whole life to live. And it's good to go through this difficult training when you're young, so that way, you'll have a much better meal when you're older. You'll enjoy your old age. Enjoy your golden years. You say, " My golden years?" Yes— your golden years. The golden years start after 120 . So that's what it means: "טוֹב לַגֶּבֶר כִּי יִשָּׂא עוֹל בִּנְעוּרָיו" It is good for a man when he carries a yoke when he is still young. The sefer Kin'at Setarim , from another great rabbi of yesteryear, says: what does it mean, tov la'gever ki yisa ol b'ne'urav ? He reads it as: it's good for a person to carry the yoke of yissurim because of what he did when he was younger . That means, right now, you're in a good place. But the rule is: "אֵין צַדִּיק בָּאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה טוֹב וְלֹא יֶחֱטָא" " There is no righteous person on earth who does good and does not sin." You might be on a good track now, but let's go back to when you were 20, 30 and 40. We don't like to remember the things we did when we were younger. And therefore: " טוֹב לַגֶּבֶר כִּי יִשָּׂא עוֹל" It's good to carry the yoke, to cleanse yourself for what you did in your youth. Again, the theme is to give chizuk to the person who's suffering now. The Chatam Sofer explains, similar to our first explanation, why does David HaMelech say (118:21) " אוֹדְךָ כִּי עֲנִיתָנִי" "I praise You for afflicting me." "וַתְּהִי לִי לִישׁוּעָה" "And You were to me for salvation ." He explains , I thank You right away when You pain me, because I know in the end, it's going to be salvation. What's the salvation? Our pasuk : It's good to carry the yoke when you're young—in this world—in order to have a happy ending in the next world. One last point on this pasuk from the Yedei Moshe of Rabbi Moshe Almosnino: We've been talking about savlanut / patience , and of yissurim , to tolerate the difficulties and challenges of life. And we said that's a great level—to be able to patiently wait and tolerate the difficulties, and hope for Hashem's yeshuah . But how do you get there? How are you able to have that trait of tolerating and waiting? He says that it starts from when you're young : "טוֹב לַגֶּבֶר כִּי יִשָּׂא עוֹל בִּנְעוּרָיו" You have to start training yourself when you're younger. If a person gets used to always having all his problems taken care of, and instant gratification, and he is never able to tolerate an uncomfortable situation, then he's not going to be able to later in life. It's almost as if he's giving us chinuch advice , to train ourselves, and train our children when they're younger, to tolerate. Tolerate might mean tolerating a little bit of cold. Tolerate a little heat. We want everything to always be just right and just perfect. But that's not good for man. Man needs to build up his resistance , and be able to tolerate uncomfortable situations. That's why we don't love the " helicopter mom ," or the " snowplow mom "— one that hovers above or smooths the road out for her children and doesn't allow them to suffer and tolerate inconveniences. Because in life, Mom is not always going to be there to plow the road for him . Wonderful lessons from this wonderful pasuk : "טוֹב לַגֶּבֶר כִּי יִשָּׂא עוֹל בִּנְעוּרָיו" Either: It's good for you to carry the yoke when you're young in this world , in order to have a good ending in the next world, or It's good to carry the difficulties now to forgive the sins of the youth, or Lastly: start your training and tolerating when you're young.

Pastor Joplin preaches about shedding the heavy yoke placed upon us from Isaiah 10:24-27

Mat 11:29  Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. Mat 11:30  For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." 

Atascadero Bible ChurchJerrel Haugen

Bible Study: Exodus 3:13-20 What is the importance of the name of God? The answer is surprising. Matthew 11:28-30 Was this a funny sang? Break 1 Letters: Can the devil tempt us through our dreams? How do you reconcile the new and the old Mass? If you donate your body to science can you still have a funeral Mass? Father answers these and other questions, send him a letter at simon@relevantradio.com Break 2 Word of the Day Burden Phones: Aaron - What is the reason behind we don’t do the Latin Mass anymore? Very respectfully and genuinely asking. Once I heard it was for uniformity, and keeping the same language, but it seems know with Mass being said in different languages, there is no uniformity. I am confused and would like some clarity. Glen Marie - Conference in New Jersey on Exorcism, does the blessing they gave us also apply to the articles online? Jarod - Council of Jerusalem, abstain from unlawful marriage, and abstain from blood. Do Christians still need to abstain blood and blood sausages?

Read Online“Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” Matthew 11:29–30For those first followers of Jesus, a “yoke” was a familiar term. Many would have worked with oxen and other animals on a regular basis to plow their fields. To do so, they would place a wooden yoke over the oxen, which was a form of harness that was also attached to the plow, making it easier for the oxen to till the soil. To be strapped with a yoke was an indication of servitude, since that was the role of the oxen.In commenting upon this passage, Saint Augustine (in Sermon 126) analogized the yoke of Christ with the wings of a bird. A bird's wings are large in comparison to its body. As a result, if someone were to conclude that removing the wings from a bird would make its life easier by ridding it of that excess weight, such an action would have the effect of keeping it bound to the earth. But give its wings back and that “yoke” will enable it to soar through the skies.So it is with the yoke of our Lord. If we accept the invitation to be a servant of God and we take upon ourselves the yoke of Christ for the fulfillment of our mission of service, we will discover that the act of serving lightens us, refreshes us, invigorates us and energizes us. Service of God is what we are made for, just as a bird is made to have wings. And like the bird, if we remove the yoke of service of God from our lives, then we are weighed down and cannot accomplish the good we are meant to do.We are also told in this passage that we are not to carry our yoke; rather, we are meant to carry Christ's yoke. “Take my yoke upon you…,” Jesus said. Carrying Jesus' yoke means we are called to live our lives with Him and in Him. He came to serve and to give His life for others. It is our duty to do the same by allowing Him to do so within us. It is Christ and His servitude that must be the motivation and foundation of our lives. Reflect, today, upon your call to be a servant in Christ. How is God calling you to serve? Whom is God calling you to serve? And as you answer that question, how do you see your act of service? Does service seem burdensome to you? Or do you understand that it is what you are made for? If you do see humble service as a burden, then perhaps that is because you have not actually tried to serve with and in Christ Himself. Try to ponder Jesus placing His yoke upon your shoulders. Say “Yes” to that act and to the mission of humble service you are called to fulfill. Doing so wholeheartedly will not only refresh you, it will also give meaning and purpose to your life. My gentle Lord, You came to us to serve and to give Your life out of love. Give me the grace I need to accept Your act of service to me and to also imitate and participate in the service to which I am called. May I take Your yoke upon me, dear Lord, so that I can fulfill the mission that You have entrusted to me. Jesus, I trust in You.Shoulder My Yoke by Lawrence OP, license CC BY-NC-ND 2.0.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

““Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. [Jer 6:16] For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.””‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11‬:‭28‬-‭30‬ ‭AMP‬‬https://bible.com/bible/1588/mat.11.28-30.AMP

The third Sunday after Pentecost - Pastor James Pierce

This message centered around the love and protection found in Christ, especially in the context of family and marriage. We reflected on God's gentle order and how it brings rest, clarity, and purpose. We emphasized the importance of being yoked to Christ, especially for men leading their families, and how submission, even when not fully understood, is an act of trust in God's design. Personal testimonies, gratitude, and prayer closed the session, affirming the power of God's love to constrain, possess, and guide.Themes:Opening prayer and group singingChrist's yoke in marriage and family rolesBeing possessed and constrained by God's loveGentle leadership modeled after ChristSubmission and peace within God's designTestimonies of gratitude and prayer for growthScripture References: 2 Corinthians 5:14; Ephesians 5; Matthew 11:28–30

Your Nightly Prayer

Send us a text"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." With these profound words, Jesus makes an extraordinary claim—offering spiritual rest to anyone burdened by life's struggles. But have you ever considered the remarkable implication behind this invitation?Only God Himself could promise universal rest to all who approach Him. When Jesus declares "Come unto me," He reveals His divine identity in one of the most compelling yet often overlooked passages of Scripture. His invitation contains both a command requiring our response and a promise demonstrating His sovereign power.The metaphor of Christ's "yoke" transforms our understanding of discipleship. In agricultural settings, a yoke joined two oxen together to share the burden of plowing. When we take Christ's yoke upon us, we're not adding another burden—we're exchanging our impossible load of self-righteousness for His perfect righteousness. We surrender control, allowing Him to lead while we follow.This revolutionary exchange liberates us from the crushing weight of trying to earn salvation through our own efforts. As one participant in our discussion observed, "We're not in a backyard sacrificing a dove or lamb because the blood of the Lamb is still alive." Christ's finished work replaces our futile laboring with His grace.The beauty of this exchange echoes throughout Scripture, from Noah extending his hand to bring the restless dove into the ark to Christ extending His invitation to draw weary souls into His rest. In surrendering our will to Him, we discover what our hearts have always sought—true peace with God.Ready to exchange your heavy burden for Christ's easy yoke? Join us as we explore the profound implications of Jesus's invitation to rest and discover the freedom that comes from being yoked to the divine Savior who alone can give rest to our souls.Support the show
