"Come to me, all who labor 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."
Jesus in Matthew 11:28-30
Jesus' yoke - a metaphor regarding His teaching and the way of life of a follower/disciple of Him - is a promise of "rest from the weariness and burden of religious regulation and human oppression, because it is none other than commitment to Him" (New Testament scholar Michael Wilkins).
