Last week, my grandmother sent my family an Easter card and she included a cardboard insert in the card that states,
Now, when I read this passage, it brings to my mind Hebrews 4, where we are are told of the Sabbath rest remaining for God's people, to rest from all our works, and not that now "my life is easy and light".
Does it seem to anyone else that these verses were taken from their context and applied inappropriately to support the idea that life is now easy and light?
My life is easy and light!
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
Matt 11:28-30 (NKJV)
