Sermon on the yoke breaker by adeboye
Here is a sermon on "The Yoke Breaker" by Pastor E.A. Adeboye:
Text: Matthew 11:28-30
Title: The Yoke Breaker
Introduction:
Today, we are going to talk about a very important topic. It's a topic that affects every single one of us, regardless of our background, our status, or our circumstances. It's a topic that can bring us joy, peace, and rest. And that topic is the yoke breaker.
The Problem of the Yoke:
In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
The yoke is a symbol of burden, of weight, of oppression. It's something that we all carry, whether we like it or not. The yoke can be a heavy load, a burden that we can't seem to shake off. It can be the weight of our responsibilities, our worries, our fears, our doubts. It can be the yoke of sin, of guilt, of shame.
The Solution: The Yoke Breaker:
But Jesus says, "I am the yoke breaker." He is the one who can take away our burdens, our weights, our oppressions. He is the one who can give us rest, who can give us peace.
How does He do it? He does it by taking our yoke upon Himself. He takes our burdens, our weights, our oppressions, and He carries them for us. He says, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." He invites us to come to Him, to lay our burdens down at His feet, and to let Him carry them for us.
The Benefits of the Yoke Breaker:
When we come to Jesus, when we take His yoke upon us, we can experience the following benefits:
- Rest: We can find rest for our souls. We can stop worrying, stop fretting, stop striving. We can rest in the knowledge that Jesus is carrying our burdens for us.
- Peace: We can experience peace, even in the midst of turmoil. We can know that Jesus is with us, that He is carrying our burdens, and that He is guiding us through the storm.
- Lightness: We can experience the lightness of His burden. We can stop feeling weighed down, stop feeling oppressed. We can feel the freedom and the joy that comes from knowing that Jesus is carrying our burdens for us.
Conclusion:
So, my dear brothers and sisters, I want to ask you a question today. Are you carrying a yoke? Are you feeling weighed down, oppressed, burdened? Are you tired of carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders?
If so, I want to invite you to come to Jesus. I want to invite you to take His yoke upon you. He is the yoke breaker. He is the one who can take away your burdens, your weights, your oppressions. He is the one who can give you rest, who can give you peace, who can give you lightness.
Don't wait any longer. Come to Jesus today. Take His yoke upon you, and experience the rest, the peace, and the lightness that He has to offer.
