The Yoke that brings Rest

Lighthouse Church Durban

Jesus offers us rest for our souls. This rest comes when we submit our lives to him. He likens this life of rest to being yoked to him, like one ox being yoked to another.

When we "yoke in" with Jesus, we find that we supernaturally live lives of righteousness, purpose and inner peace.

We yoke in by deciding to submit our lives to his rule, by choosing daily to obey him and by actively learning his words and ways and putting them into practice.
