"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 in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
This is what Jesus said in Matthew 11. I have highlighted the word "burden" that Jesus used in this verse twice. That begs the question why we have to give up one burden just to pick up another. Part of the answer is found in the verse itself. He said his burden is light. Burden and light, except in this verse, are two words you don't often find in the same sentence.....
