Matthew 11:30

for my yoke is easy (well-suited for its purpose; good, pleasant; filled with joy), and my burden (load) is light."
[A yoke was made of wood and placed over the necks of two oxen pulling a plow or cart. It was common to pair an experienced ox with a younger animal. The yoke symbolizes service, obedience, and submission. Jesus is the experienced "drawer" who takes on the heavy burden. He is the Master who invites us to voluntarily and actively enter under his yoke to serve, obey, and submit to him. By joining ourselves to Jesus, we avoid toil and labor in our own strength.]
