Standing Up
On and on
I was responding the the bolded words in the post you quoted about the 'yoke', not about John the Baptist.
Often 'yoke' is taken in a negative context. I was just trying to nip that in the bud before it became a thread about what a burden the Torah is. (You just know someone would bring that up. )
Ahh, hadn't made that connection, but I suppose this gives new meaning to what Christ said.
Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.
What was His contrast between His yoke and others' yokes?
