In Matthew 11, Jesus offers rest to those who are weary and burdened. What does He tell them to take upon themselves instead?

Correct Answer

C) His yoke

In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 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. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." This beautiful invitation shows how Jesus doesn't just remove our burdens - He exchanges them for something better. A yoke was a wooden frame joining two animals for working together. By inviting us to take His yoke, Jesus promises to walk alongside us, sharing our load and guiding our steps.
