12th Day of Advent
Written by: Bill Nasworthy
Reading: Matthew 11:25-30At that time Jesus said, “I thank you , Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will."
Matthew 11: 25-26
Jesus is praying to his Father thanking him for “revealing it (truth) to the little children” instead of “those who think themselves so wise”. Jesus explains that all who “come to me and I will give you rest—all of you who work so hard beneath a heavy yolk.” But then he goes on to request that we should wear HIS yolk—“for it fits perfectly---and let me teach you; for I am gentle and humble, and you shall find rest for your souls; for I give you only light burdens.”
Jesus, make us like children so we are trusting of you and ready to wear Your yolk. Amen
