1Sam 28-29 Ps 109 Mt 11

In getting through life we all attach ourselves to certain philosophies which help us understand why things are the way they are. We ‘yoke’ ourselves to these ideas and philosophies in the hope they will give us comfort and strength and some hope for the future. In a similar vein, Jesus wants us to be yoked to him. He describes his yolk as a burden which is not harsh and difficult but easy and light. Being tied so close to Jesus gives us the opportunity to learn deeply from him and modify our lives on him. His gentle and humble heart is an inspiration we can all aspire to.
