Surrender and Take On

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).

Jesus calls us to 

SURRENDER

Our

Weariness

Anxieties

Burdens

Worries

Control

Fears

All things that weigh us down

To go to Him

And to find

Rest

Peace

Shalom

Jesus invites us to

TAKE ON 

His yoke

When we are hitched with Christ

Being yoked with Him

He carries the weight of the load

We get to tag along

Walking where He walks

Going where He goes

We get to learn from 

His gentleness

His humility

His Shalom

His peace

We will find rest for our souls

For Christ is the one carrying the weight

We get to know Him

Who He is

What He does

How He works

How He rests 

At this close up 

Neck to neck view

Being yoked with Him

We see Jesus at work

We see Jesus’ stance toward work

We see Jesus’ view toward rest

We experience the lightness of the burden

Jesus carries the burden

We just get to tag along

Because we are yoked with Him

Take off our burdens

Take on Jesus’ yoke

Surrender our burdens to Jesus

Take on His yoke

We will find 

Rest

Peace

Shalom

For our souls
