A yoke joins two oxen together to pull, or work as a team. Both animals are united in one cause, and pull as a unit. This yoke Jesus wants us to shoulder is not burdensome…because He’ll be shouldering the other side with us, and as a team we’ll forge ahead. And as we move forward together, we begin to know who this Jesus really is, and in knowing Him, we accept His teachings and learn to abide by them.
