EMPOWERED Gentleness: Jesus’ gentle yoke

Matthew 11:28-30 | Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

  • What are some burdens (or big responsibilities) you carry?

  • What are some things that make you weary (exhausted)?

  • Why does Jesus say we should give those things to Him instead of carrying them ourselves?

  • How can you give your burdens to God? How does Him taking them show His gentleness?

  • Jesus gives us a light burden (responsibility). What is it?
