Ask gramps did jesus travel to india11/28/2023 ![]() Nothing could be more delightful than to be yoked to the Lord in doing all that we undertake to do. The Lord would be our companion, and would give us the necessary strength always to accomplish His will. To work with the Savior, going in His direction and doing His will, we are instructed, is easy and the burden associated therewith is light. That statement tells us that when we are teamed with the Savior, we will not need to struggle as do yoked animals in order to do our part. The Savior’s yoke, however, is easy, and His burden is light. Often the loads are very heavy and the animals exert all their strength to pull the loads, and the yokes rub against their shoulders, often producing troublesome sores. ![]() I obviously don’t believe that at all as of now. Looking back now, it seems really stupid. Enough for me to think that not even Jesus loved me. Question Dear Gramps, At one point in my life, I felt so low. Two animals are yoked together for the purpose of pulling loads. Did I deny Jesus and the Holy Ghost AAAA AskGramps Website, Holy Ghost, Jesus Christ. What a marvelous analogy, that we should go in the same direction as the Savior! Going in His direction, we would learn of Him. When yoked together, the two animals must go in the same direction and be united in their efforts. The implication is that if we yoke ourselves to the Savior (a yoke joins two draft animals) we have Him to labor with us at our sides. 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.įor my yoke is easy, and my burden is light ( Matthew 11:29-30). The yokes for draft animals, usually oxen, were very common up until after the invention of the tractor. The Savior used allegories that were part of the people’s own experience and daily lives in order to explain or clarify the concepts that He was teaching. I hope you enjoy reading the various passages about the Lord’s family, and pondering their lives in that light.Could you possibly explain what is meant by the following phrase (I’m paraphrasing) “Take upon the Lord’s yoke for it is light.” Thank you,Īs I’m sure you know, a yoke is a bar or frame by which two draft animals are joined at the heads or necks for working together. Studying these epistles in this light may give one new thoughts and feelings about what they read. Most interesting to note is that epistles written by two of his brothers appear in the New Testament: the Epistle of Jude and the Epistle of James. There are a few other references to his brothers, which you can find in the Topical Guide entry on Christ’s family, and in the Bible Dictionary entry “ Brethren of the Lord” (and entries on the individual names). In Matthew 13(also Mark 6:3) we learn that he had four brothers (at least) and an unknown number of sisters:ĥ4 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?ĥ5 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?ĥ6 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? We don’t know much about them, but they are referenced in a few scriptures. Yes, the Savior had siblings – the children of Mary and Joseph. ![]() On one page of the Gospel of Luke Jesus is 12. In the world of film we call that sort of omission a 'jump cut.' In Fundamentalism, they call it a part of Jesus' life that God doesn't think you need to know about, or God would have made sure it was included in the Bible. Does Jesus have siblings? And if he does, where does it say he does? Thank you in advance The New Testament has a Black Hole from the ages 12 to 30 of Jesus' life. Mary came looking for him and holding her hand were two young children. I was just recently watching a bible video (by the Church) about young Jesus teaching at a temple.
