You Share Jesus' Strength Within You
- Jesus shares the yoke, meaning his strength helps the weaker carry the load with us not just beside us but within us.
- Believers have supernatural power and resources in them through the Spirit to face the fallen world.
Make Obedience A Delight
- Walk in a loving relationship with Jesus so obedience becomes delight rather than duty.
- Pray, read Scripture, and obey because these actions lead to life and are blessings, not burdens.
Marriage Example Illustrates Delight
