Quotes about Yoke

And in this truth lies the secret of the easy yoke: the secret involves living as he lived in the entirety of his life—adopting his overall life-style.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest. JESUS, MATTHEW 11 : 29

This is why Paul was adamant: "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery" (Gal. 5:1). For "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom" (2 Cor. 3:17).
