[4285.20 --> 4286.10] remember that image |
[4286.10 --> 4286.68] of the yoke |
[4286.68 --> 4287.82] that I started off with? |
[4288.58 --> 4290.06] A yoke usually entails |
[4290.06 --> 4290.90] how many oxen |
[4290.90 --> 4291.54] pulling the cart? |
[4292.36 --> 4293.44] It usually entails |
[4293.44 --> 4294.52] two on each side. |
[4295.26 --> 4296.60] So another reason |
[4296.60 --> 4297.12] I think |
[4297.12 --> 4298.20] that Jesus uses |
[4298.20 --> 4299.68] a yoke |
[4299.68 --> 4300.66] for this image, |
[4301.02 --> 4301.76] for this teaching, |
[4302.12 --> 4303.06] is because |
[4303.06 --> 4303.96] the image |
[4303.96 --> 4304.68] that we should get |
[4304.68 --> 4305.26] is not just |
[4305.26 --> 4305.86] putting something |
[4305.86 --> 4306.88] on us to work. |
[4307.84 --> 4308.64] Jesus is carrying |
[4308.64 --> 4309.68] that yoke with us. |
[4310.48 --> 4311.38] He's inviting us |
[4311.38 --> 4312.38] to walk with him |
[4312.38 --> 4313.30] step by step. |
[4314.32 --> 4315.36] That's what leads |
[4315.36 --> 4316.20] to real life |
[4316.20 --> 4317.56] and real flourishing. |
[4318.38 --> 4319.34] So we take on |
[4319.34 --> 4319.76] the yoke |
[4319.76 --> 4320.58] of our Lord Jesus, |
[4320.96 --> 4321.82] becoming a witness |
[4321.82 --> 4322.86] to his healing |
[4322.86 --> 4324.34] and his restorative |
[4324.34 --> 4325.22] work for the world, |
[4325.62 --> 4326.70] even in our |
[4326.70 --> 4327.76] sin-filled, |
[4328.30 --> 4329.64] broken workplaces, |
[4330.02 --> 4331.00] even when our |
[4331.00 --> 4331.62] co-workers |
[4331.62 --> 4332.70] are jerks sometimes, |
[4333.04 --> 4333.78] even when our |
[4333.78 --> 4334.60] work environment |
[4334.60 --> 4335.60] is so toxic. |
[4335.60 --> 4337.14] And throughout |
[4337.14 --> 4338.10] the countless |
[4338.10 --> 4339.20] conversations I had |
[4339.20 --> 4339.90] with our young adults |
[4339.90 --> 4340.46] at our church, |
[4341.36 --> 4342.22] I haven't met |
[4342.22 --> 4343.18] a single young adult |
[4343.18 --> 4344.00] who tells me |
[4344.00 --> 4345.10] my workplace |
[4345.10 --> 4347.28] is not toxic. |
[4348.30 --> 4348.40] Right? |
[4349.28 --> 4350.72] In whatever shape |
[4350.72 --> 4351.14] or manner, |
[4351.30 --> 4352.04] every young adult |
[4352.04 --> 4352.72] I talk to, |
[4352.88 --> 4353.24] sadly, |
[4353.72 --> 4354.26] says that |
[4354.26 --> 4355.18] my workplace |
[4355.18 --> 4356.06] is toxic. |
[4358.44 --> 4359.46] But even |
[4359.46 --> 4360.14] in that |
[4360.14 --> 4361.32] broken environment, |
[4362.60 --> 4362.82] right, |
[4362.82 --> 4363.28] we're not |
[4363.28 --> 4364.32] called to put |
[4364.32 --> 4364.82] on the yokes |
[4364.82 --> 4365.56] of our different |
[4365.56 --> 4366.28] workplaces, |
[4366.60 --> 4367.36] we are called |
[4367.36 --> 4367.90] to put on |
[4367.90 --> 4368.68] the yoke of Christ |
[4368.68 --> 4369.72] who walks along |
[4369.72 --> 4370.74] side by side |
[4370.74 --> 4371.32] with us. |
[4372.28 --> 4373.40] And in that way, |
[4373.68 --> 4375.14] we have real hope |
[4375.14 --> 4376.18] in Jesus |
[4376.18 --> 4377.06] as our Savior |
[4377.06 --> 4377.52] and Lord. |
[4378.70 --> 4379.44] And through that |
[4379.44 --> 4380.10] hope and that |
[4380.10 --> 4380.88] equipping of |
[4380.88 --> 4382.18] the Spirit now sent |
[4382.18 --> 4383.44] and fills us |
[4383.44 --> 4384.82] and dwells within us, |
[4385.22 --> 4386.32] we can be that |
[4386.32 --> 4387.50] light that we |
[4387.50 --> 4388.44] prayed about, |
[4388.60 --> 4389.72] that we know about. |
[4389.72 --> 4390.72] We can be that |
[4390.72 --> 4391.72] light even |
[4391.72 --> 4393.28] in our workplaces. |
[4393.96 --> 4394.44] And that's the |
[4394.44 --> 4394.90] invitation. |
[4395.40 --> 4395.88] And that's the |
[4395.88 --> 4396.92] blessing that Jesus |
