"'Come to ME, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take MY yoke upon you and learn from ME, for I AM gentle and humble of heart; and you will find rest. For MY yoke is easy; and MY burden is light.'" - Matthew 11:28-30
(Come to ME: I will not relieve you of your load but by placing MY yoke on you, I give you the means of carrying the load.
JESUS plays with the two words yoke and load, for the Jews used to call "load" the divine teachings imparted to pupils, and "yoke" the balancing of the teacher's sentences, which should be learned by heart.
JESUS, the patient and humble teacher, enables us to see the mercy of GOD in our lives and in our own cross. HE shows us the love of GOD even in the requirements of the law. Only GOD is good; and good is the authority of CHRIST.)
