Jesus does NOT say, come to me and all your troubles will be taken away. Jesus does NOT say, come to me and your income will increase by 10%. Jesus does NOT say, come to me and the doctor will pronounce a cure. What Jesus says: come to me and let’s make a trade; trade your yoke, your burden, for mine. What is the yoke of Jesus? The yoke of Jesus is trusting that God is smarter than I am, that God’s plan is better than my plan. If I am in charge, if I have to make things come out a certain way that is a heavy burden, a heavy yoke. Letting God be in charge, giving up control, is “easy and light” by comparison.
