Today towards the end of the sermon (2008.01.13), the pastor mentioned about the Tiredness in the congregation, especially on work.
Our incorrect understanding of work has resulted in Work being a Yoke upon us.
We work
- to attain Freedom from our financial worries, Freedom from being made redundant, Freedom from needing to work (!)
- to earn our Righteousness with our loved ones, our peers, society as a whole and ourselves(!)
And our Work .. our deemed path to freedom, our deemed path to righteousness, has become Our Yoke of Slavery.
Matthew 11: 28"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
