The Weight We Were Not Built to Carry

Matthew 11:28-30

28Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

His yoke is easy not because the work disappears, but because the work is shared. A yoke is built for two.
