As we continue to consider the meaning of Jesus’ parable of the sheep and goats in Matthew 25, we may well ask what it means to be a sheep in Christ’s flock. In Matthew 11, Jesus tells us:
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (v. 29, 30)
What is Christ’s yoke? And why should we want to wear it?
