I exhorted My beloved to take My yoke upon them and learn of Me because I am meek and lowly of heart,, and they will find rest for their souls. I explained that My yoke is easy, and my burden is light. I know that in the past when you read this, you immediately pictured two oxen that are yoked together and ready to plow. However, this is not what I want you to picture.
When I walked on Earth rabbis, or teachers, had students who were yoked to them. In other words, the mantle of their master teacher was upon them to help them learn from and better serve them. When I gave this exhortation, I was exhorting My followers to learn from me.
I exclaimed that I was meek and lowly of heart and that is why it is easy to bear My yoke. So many teachers lord it over their students, but I work with you to help you easily understand My teachings. I sent My Holy Spirit to lead you into all truth, and He is the yoke you wear when you study My Word.
