Jesus tells us that he provides a yoke that will bring us rest. That sounds counterintuitive. In a world where we are constantly on the go and stressed out, Jesus offers us a way to find peace and solace using an object lesson of a yoke. It’s not an item that one would usually look to for rest. In this message, we will unpack the meaning behind Jesus’s words.
We all have burdens at one time or another–some are more difficult than others to carry. We are not meant to carry them alone; the good news is that Jesus’ yoke is light, but his commission to us is that we carry one another’s burdens as well. Join Pastor Katharine as she brings this Sunday’s message, Tethered.
Each of us is created as a holy vessel of embodied love. Our sense of wholeness has been shattered. We look to Lent to be a season or recovery after the toxicity of this last year. Jesus is in solidarity with our healing of body, soul and spirit, where beauty is created from that which feels broken.
