At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things are delivered unto Me of my Father: and no man knows the Son, but the Father; neither knows any man the Father, save the Son, and He to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him…

…Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek (obedient) and lowly (humble) in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light...Matthew 11:25-30.

 

Jesus speaking of His teachings said they were revealed unto babes not knowing religious teachings well…people who did not follow the religious leaders blindly believing everything they taught. For many of the Pharisees and Scribes…teachers of the law said Jesus was not the Christ and tried to trip Him up in His words and actions. Jesus speaking of His disciples said they were babes. The disciples seen the miracles and refused to listen to the doctrines of the leaders and followed Jesus because He is the Christ and was doing powerful miracles. They knew Jesus was special and from God…even eventually God’s own Son.

Jesus told them and anyone else to take His teaching of the Truth upon them…take my yoke…a yoke takes two oxen and makes them work as if they are one force. Jesus is saying if you take His teaching of Truth…His yoke…upon you then you and Him will be practicing the Truth together as one. Jesus said His teaching of the Truth is a light and easy burden to bear...to live out.

 

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that you may know that you have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He hears us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him...1 John 5:13-15.

 

Is it hard to tell the Truth…yes or no? Is it hard to love your neighbor as yourself in doing good…yes or no? If we take His teaching of the Truth upon us then we find rest for our souls…we can have the prayers we say answered as long as you practice the truth. By putting Jesus first and practicing the Truth He reveals to us then we can have answered prayer if it is according to His will…loving our neighbor as ourself…then we have answered prayer.

 

Prayer

Father please keep us free and safe from harm…help us in our persecution from your enemies and our own…and meet our soul’s deepest needs for freedom to practice the truth and provide for our families…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
