Week 3 - Keep the Way

The yoke of Jesus may be easy and His burden light, but the path of being made holy as He is holy is a difficult one. The old self dies a painful death as we are conformed into the image of Christ. In this passage Jesus reforms some of the primary teaching coming from the Rabbis of His time. He calls us to consider the posture of our hearts in matters of sin and righteousness. It is so important that we keep the way of Christ with perseverance and steadfastness. As the apostle Paul says, “...I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.”
