Discussion: November 21: Ano ang Kahulugan ng Yoke of Christ? - Yoke of Christ - Matthew

365 Daily Devotions: Seminary Edition


💁🏻 Concept: Yoke of Christ
The yoke of Christ is a farming metaphor where oxen share a wooden yoke under a master’s lead. Jesus invites us to take His yoke (Matt. 11:29–30), symbolizing discipleship, submission, and rest. Unlike the crushing yoke of sin or legalism, His yoke is easy because He carries it with us. It reveals His lordship and grace—He calls us to obey, yet His Spirit empowers us to find true rest in Him.
