Pastor Taylor Shippy - Mark 2:18-20
This is our final week in our current series looking at the "easy yoke" Jesus offered (cf. Matt 11:28-30). Let's close by highlighting a unique dimension of the easy yoke—one that feels especially appropriate as we enter the upcoming season of Lent.
It’s something we see Jesus Himself practice at key moments in His life (cf. Matt 4:2; Lk 4:2). And it's also something Jesus seems to have a few thoughts about (cf. Matt 6:16-18). And while it might seem counterintuitive in the context of yoke—something you 'take on'—what if we're invited to take something off?
