President's Messa e ii T ' s 1 THE YOKE OF JESUS CHRIST Never a man spake like this, read the report of 1 the soldiers about Jesus Christ. And one reason why men listened so attentively to Christ was that He used simple figures of speech that the common man could understand. One of these was the figure of a yoke. A yoke was a frame of wood by which two oxen were joined at the necks for working together. The yoke was then a means of service. Now, Jesus Christ used the figure of a yoke to underscore an indispensable quality of discipleship: Take my yoke upon you, and learn of meg for I am meek and lowly of heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls fMatthew ll:29j. The yoke here represents the will of God. And taking on the yoke represents full submission to the authority of Jesus Christ. This, however, can be a rather abstract matter. In a concrete way, how does a believer submit to Christ? There are, as a matter of fact, two ways in which a believer submits to Jesus Christ. First, the believer submits to the authority of the Word of God. The Bible says, Whatsoever he saith to you, do it Uohn 2:51. Does God command us in his Word to abstain from something? Then we are to abstain from it. Does God exhort us to pray? Then we are to pray. Does God command us to witness for Christ? Then we are to witness for Jesus Christ. The Bible has been given to us not simply for study, but for obedience. Second, thef Christian yields to the will of Godg that is, he yields to the guidance of God. The Bible says, For as many as arerled by the Spirit of God, They are the sons of God fRomans 8:l4j. There are many spiritual g h. .'. -, Q , decisions in life 'that we rnust makegregarding which the Bible may not give us specific instruction. But the Bible does give us general principles, and these general principles of the Bible must be applied to given circumstances. The Word of God gives us the principle, but the Spirit of God applies that principle in a given circumstance. For example, the Bible clearly commands us to witness for Christ, but the Holy Spirit guides us to a specific person. The believer, therefore, is to yield to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ therefore said, Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me. To submit unreservedly to God will bring to the believer spiritual power. And to that degree to which a believer gladly submits to the will of God, to the degree will he enjoy spiritual blessing and usefulness. 2
