[1304.14 --> 1305.70] a working tool
[1305.70 --> 1307.20] for His message
[1307.20 --> 1307.76] of comfort.
[1307.96 --> 1308.58] Do you notice that?
[1309.56 --> 1310.96] He uses a yoke,
[1311.14 --> 1312.02] not a chair,
[1312.02 --> 1313.02] not a bed,
[1313.30 --> 1314.64] not a nice lawn chair
[1314.64 --> 1315.14] or something.
[1315.70 --> 1317.46] He's using a yoke
[1317.46 --> 1318.48] for His message
[1318.48 --> 1319.22] of comfort.
[1320.04 --> 1320.60] Do you get it?
[1322.84 --> 1324.28] Because He's showing us
[1324.28 --> 1324.96] that obedience
[1324.96 --> 1325.96] to His teachings,
[1326.24 --> 1326.90] His yoke,
[1327.06 --> 1328.38] to learn from Him,
[1328.50 --> 1329.76] to give our whole lives
[1329.76 --> 1330.10] to Him,
[1330.18 --> 1331.08] to follow Him
[1331.08 --> 1332.38] every step along the way,
[1332.82 --> 1334.20] is to put on His yoke.
[1334.20 --> 1335.92] and that yoke
[1335.92 --> 1336.64] is easy.
[1337.64 --> 1338.28] And His burden
[1338.28 --> 1339.10] is light for us
[1339.10 --> 1340.34] because it is the Lord
[1340.34 --> 1341.40] of all creation
[1341.40 --> 1342.38] that journeys
[1342.38 --> 1343.34] with us.
[1344.62 --> 1345.46] He's the one
[1345.46 --> 1346.44] who equips us.
[1346.44 --> 1350.76] Jesus' mission
[1350.76 --> 1351.90] was to come
[1351.90 --> 1352.94] and to restore
[1352.94 --> 1353.66] and to heal
[1353.66 --> 1355.96] a broken creation.
[1356.78 --> 1358.06] And now He's inviting
[1358.06 --> 1358.76] His people
[1358.76 --> 1360.04] to take upon
[1360.04 --> 1360.96] that yoke
[1360.96 --> 1362.64] to join His mission
[1362.64 --> 1363.64] of restoring
[1363.64 --> 1364.22] and healing
[1364.22 --> 1365.10] a broken world.
[1365.54 --> 1366.44] That's the way
[1366.44 --> 1367.54] to true life
[1367.54 --> 1368.34] and
[1368.34 --> 1370.22] that's the way
[1370.22 --> 1370.90] to true
[1370.90 --> 1372.38] Sabbath.
[1372.86 --> 1373.68] I was going to say
[1373.68 --> 1374.06] shalom.
[1375.14 --> 1376.52] But true shalom
[1376.52 --> 1377.64] and true Sabbath,
[1378.44 --> 1379.30] true rest,
[1379.88 --> 1380.46] refreshment
[1380.46 --> 1381.34] for our souls.
[1384.10 --> 1385.10] Many times
[1385.10 --> 1385.88] this may seem
[1385.88 --> 1387.04] like a daunting task.
[1388.04 --> 1389.08] But Jesus says,
[1389.34 --> 1389.84] come to me.
[1390.16 --> 1391.50] It's a personal invitation.
[1396.12 --> 1397.46] Jesus invites those
[1397.46 --> 1398.10] who are weary
[1398.10 --> 1398.90] and burdened,
[1398.92 --> 1399.32] He says.
[1399.90 --> 1401.02] Those who are having
[1401.02 --> 1402.02] a hard time of it.
[1402.90 --> 1403.54] Those for whom
[1403.54 --> 1404.64] life is hard work
[1404.64 --> 1406.20] and who feel overwhelmed.
[1407.28 --> 1407.88] And then going
[1407.88 --> 1408.70] a little deeper here.
[1409.54 --> 1410.82] Jesus calls to Him
[1410.82 --> 1412.16] those who are discouraged.
[1412.66 --> 1413.44] Those who want
[1413.44 --> 1413.92] to be good
[1413.92 --> 1414.92] to please God.
[1415.84 --> 1416.42] To love
[1416.42 --> 1417.28] and serve others.
[1417.62 --> 1418.72] To join His mission
[1418.72 --> 1419.60] of restoration.
[1420.12 --> 1420.52] But,
[1420.68 --> 1421.62] many times,
[1421.92 --> 1423.10] feel quite selfish.
[1424.08 --> 1424.98] Quite un-up
[1424.98 --> 1425.70] to the task.
[1426.56 --> 1427.50] Quite inadequate.
[1428.58 --> 1429.40] And even feel
[1429.40 --> 1430.06] like failures.
[1430.06 --> 1433.58] And so,
[1433.72 --> 1434.72] to those burdened
[1434.72 --> 1435.48] with this guilt
[1435.48 --> 1436.34] and inadequacy,
[1437.00 --> 1438.18] Jesus now appears
[1438.18 --> 1438.80] and promises,
[1439.02 --> 1439.60] first of all,
