SPIRITUAL FOOD 4 THOUGHT : MY YOKE IS EASY AND MY BURDEN IS LIGHT
Sounds good, doesn't it?
It's interesting to consider what Jesus says, and compare it with other things that He's said. Time and time again it seems that people like to conclude the opposite of what He actually said. In this video we'll take a peek at the title verse, and compare it to a few others to hopefully gain some deeper insight into the truth.

Until next time…

I really like your angle on this, it's amazed me since i was a child that people don't interpret scriptures within their own reasoning, beliefs, understanding and core ultimately. The stories in the bible have taken on a whole new context for me over the years as my knowledge around certain subjects grew and personal experiences. I think that if you take any scripture at face value or adopt another persons interpretation of it it's a clear indication that you're not the self development path. We are here to find our own truths, and you cant get there if you don't think for your self.
As I was listening to the video a couple of verses came to mind.....
Very nice. I'm doing a follow up video that will head deeper into this, and I'll be sharing that Deuteronomy passage, along with a few others. Thanks!
The Law was for Israel. Grace is for everyone. We no longer have to keep the 613 parts of the Jewish law. Read the New Testament. It's impossible to miss it.
You go ahead and not keep them...I want to be great in the kingdom of heaven...
Matthew 5:18-19 - For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
@barncat says "the law was for Israel"
The Bible says
barncat says "we no longer have to keep the 613 parts of the Jewish law"
I @dwells say first of all Jewish law is the talmud, all of the laws that Jewish rabbis created to add on top of the laws that God gave. The 613 commands are from the Torah and they are God's commands God's laws and they are for all of us and for today.
