Jesus - The Burden Bearer
Lately it seems that many people are struggling under the pressures of society. Often there's little satisfaction even when goals and targets are reached.
Followers of Jesus have a future hope that counteracts those pressures.
There's even Bible teaching that shows how we can share our difficulties together now;
"Come to me all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
(Matthew ch.11 v 28-30 N.K.J.V.)
These verses illustrate Jesus being alongside, sharing our lives and lightening our pressures as we walk together following his example. Without His help and guidance we will follow the ways of our human nature, which leads to discontentment and no lasting rewards.
For the believers in God and His son, the Bible tells us how we can benefit with:
"...love, joy peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control, against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with it's passions and desires."
