Jesus is not a temporary feel good solution. He is the Living Christ with power and dominion over the heavens and earth.
Jesus was at His lowest point just before He was crucified. Jesus was burdened over dying on a Cross.
Jesus can identify with you. He lived as a human and experienced all the emotions of life.
Jesus is a gentle and humble God and desires a personal and embracing relationship with you.
In times of turmoil Jesus promises to give you rest. He wants you to literally cast your burdens upon Him and He will give you supernatural rest.
Reach out to Jesus. He does not want you to be alone or try to solve your problems on your own.
Learn from Jesus in times of trouble. Seek the strength, peace and wisdom of Jesus.
When Jesus says take My yoke He is referring to His life. Jesus is easy and His burden is light.
Jesus will make your pathway easy regardless of your overwhelming troubles. And, He will give you a sense of freedom and emotional release from your burdens.
Jesus is not promising to take away all your burdens but He wants you to cast all your concerns upon His shoulders and live through Him.
Jesus died to bear all your burdens.
This happens through the work of the Holy Spirit. He is the life of Christ and lives in all believers.
When Jesus says take My yoke He is telling you to live through Him and not your natural life.
Abide in the Holy Spirit by prayer, reading the Bible, and listening for the voice of God. Give Him all your burdens and draw upon His attributes.
The Christ follower does not live a life free of troubles. In fact, you may encounter more conflicts than a non believer.
Jesus is how you can overcome the world. It is not by might nor by power but by My Spirit.
