This document discusses the Christian way of life and what it means to take up Jesus' yoke. It encourages believers to cast their burdens upon the Lord, as he will sustain them. Jesus invites all who are weary and heavy laden to come to him for rest. Taking his yoke means being chosen by Jesus to go and bear fruit that remains through living according to his example of meekness. With a clean heart and renewed spirit, believers can get the most from Christ's easy yoke by finding rest and a renewed outlook on life through him.
