Matthew 11:25-30 - A Yoke That Is Easy

25 About that time Jesus said [in prayer], "I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things [i.e., the significance of Jesus' words and works] from those who [thought they] were wise and intelligent and have [instead] revealed them to people who are child-like. 26 Yes Father, you did this because it was very pleasing to you. 27 "All things have been entrusted to me by my Father and no one [truly] knows the Son except the Father. And neither does anyone [truly] know the Father except the Son and that person to whom the Son wants to reveal Him.

28 Come to me, all of you who are overworked and overburdened and I will give you rest [i.e., spiritual refreshment]. 29 Accept my reins [on your life], and learn about me, because I am gentle and humble, and [in my service] you will experience rest in your spirits. 30 For my reins [on your life] are easy [to respond to] and the burden I place [on you] is light."
