His Light and Easy Burden // S08E07

Who are you connected to? And who ought we to be connected to? Anything we latch on to in this world is only temporary. It will all to soon be gone. But to be yoked to Christ is eternal! He takes from us our heavy yokes and gives us His, a light and easy one. Are we willing to accept it? Can we obey Him, that we may receive it?

Verses from Yoked:

Matthew 11:28-29, Deuteronomy 22:10, 2 Corinthians 6:14, Acts 2:42, 2 Corinthians 9:14, 1 John 1:3, 6-7

Quotes from today’s episode:

“There are many ways we try and yoke, but like, besides Christ, none of them are going to last. They won’t be a yoking that produces. It might look good up front, but it falls apart.” 

Shea Watson, The Pantry Podcast, Yoked

“Our job is to walk with the Lord and do what he asks us to do… and our trying is obedience as long as we aren’t in active rebellion” 

Michelle Watson, The Pantry Podcast, Yoked
