Our paragraph topic is: (Jesus draws men gently to himself) Part 4.
Christ has called all mankind to come unto him. He has praised the Father for his good pleasure in hiding the mysteries of heaven from the wise and the prudent. He has praised the Father for only revealing the mysteries to the little ones who are not filled with earthly wisdom and who are not concerned with the advancement of their cause for greed. He calls people to come unto him that are burdened and who labor without hope. For they are the ones who he wants to give hope. He calls all the people who labor without purpose. For they are the ones he wants to give purpose and belief in the Father. With the true belief the people will rejoice and be glad because the Father will protect them. The Father will provide for them. The Father will bring them peace.
Christ says, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me." For my yoke is easy, and my burden light." The Lord of Lords and the King of Kings tells us to take his yoke and to learn. For he will teach us. He will guide us. He will instruct us in the ways of life. Our world is burdensome. Our world is harsh. Our world is hard. But when we take the yoke of Christ he will teach us how to have an easy life. He will guide us and provide for us, showing us how to have a light burden. For our burden is heavy. Our burden wears us down. Our burden brings pain and suffering. For he is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. His wisdom exceeds all. His knowledge is greater than the knowledge of man. His love for us exceeds the love that we have for each other.
Christ says, "For I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your souls." Christ calls all men unto himself. He tells us that he is meek and humble not proud and vain. Learn from him. For it is in his heart that we find the riches of the kingdom. It is through his meekness that we learn the wisdom of God. It is through his humility that we become transformed from this world to the person that we will be known as in the kingdom of heaven. Our spiritual beings grow in humility. Our spiritual knowledge increases with the practice of our humility. For through love we understand. Through love we come to know. Through love we become love with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. God created us in his likeness and we are his children.
Do you hunger and thirst for rest? We wear ourselves down trying to keep up with the weight of the world. For the world calls us. The world leads us. The world lusts for us and we lust for the world. For our passions are in the world. Our love for worldly things is in the world. We are lost in the world and do not know it. We wear ourselves down and try to catch a breath on the weekends when we seek to rejuvenate. We party. We go to outings and events. We seek others who share our interests in an effort to share the pain of existence. Yet we continue to find ourselves in the race for life in the world. Oh, there are those who have it made. There are those who live on top, who make enough money, who have the right job, who drive the right cars, who wear the right clothes, and who live in the right apartments, in the right communities, in the right homes. Yet they too continue to struggle to keep up. They too desire to be like others who have more than they do. They too are driven by the world, led by the world, lust for the world. For at every level there are those who are our carrots to chase after. There are those who have more. There are those that we look up to and desire to be like. And the world has a carrot for everyone. For we are lost in the world and do not know who we are.
Christ calls to all, "Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me." For my yoke is easy, and my burden light." Learn from him. His yoke is easy. His yoke is light. Step away from the world. Get out of the race. For it leads along the road of destruction. Many follow that path but few follow the narrow road to life. Will you take up the yoke of Christ and learn from him? Will you accept his light burden and his easy yoke? Come, receive your reward! Come, learn from him that will teach all! He calls to you! He awaits your coming! He loves you!
