Summary: At the end of Matthew 11, Jesus offers the words of comfort to people in desperate circumstances faced with near-impossible choices. To understand fully and to appropriate spiritually these words, we must learn to recognize ourselves as infants, helpless and unable to make sense of all that life throws at us and to see him, not as Superman or Santa Claus, but as the one who offers himself in the midst of crisis and pain. |
|
Summary: Jesus challenges us, this Independence Day weekend, to wonder about how free we are. Despite the national freedoms that we celebrate, he reminds us that we are often bound by commitments and dysfunctions that keep us from responding to him. Do we have the freedom and daring to reach for the good yoke that he holds out to us? |
|
Summary: One reason the yoke Jesus offers is light is that he shares it and bears it with us. As the people of God, let us remain yoked together in love and service. |
|
Summary: Most of the time we leave out of Jesus’ invitation the best part of all: when our burden is lifted, we will be able to bear God’s yoke. |
|
Summary: We miss out on the wonders of life that Jesus Christ offers because we aren’t childlike enough to take him at his word. We complicate life by giving eternal importance to things that don’t matter a week from now. |
|
Summary: This short narrative contains some of the elements of good worship. Jesus offers a prayer that thanks God for revealing the mystery of Jesus’ ministry, teaches about the relationship between the Father and the Son and invites us to accept Jesus’ yoke for our burdens. |
|
Summary: Even though Jesus teaches us that we can never fully understand God, we can use our intellects to gain a deeper perspective on what God reveals. All people, despite education or sophistication, can find rest for their souls in Jesus. |
|
Summary: In this chapter - a snapshot of moments in Jesus’ later ministry - Jesus confronts doubt and weariness from a people oppressed by guilt, hard work, political occupation - name it! He offers a prescription for doubt and weariness from an unexpected place.
