"The more we work with Christ, the less our burdens will be."
Laboring for the Kingdom of God was hard work for Jesus. It consummed him. It took everything he had to give. And it was so hard, that it eventually cost him his life.
Jesus is not telling us life is easy...
He's saying that when life is hard, when it is out of control, when we are at the end of our rope, that we are not alone...
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:30
