I didn't know that. Incredibly significant and moving! I love the Peterson version as well, Kim. I like that phrase 'the unforced rhythms of grace.' Thanks for that information on Bonhoeffer, Joe.

That made me cry when I read that. The yoke is so smooth and easy to the fit. Jesus crafted it and we are at our very best when we're snug to the yoke. Oh what powerful works we can work when the Almighty has hold of the reins. Joe... Bonhoeffer was preaching on Isaiah 53 to a group of people when the Nazis came in to take him away.

The yoke is so smooth and easy to the fit. Jesus crafted it and we are at our very best when we’re snug to the yoke.
Oh what powerful works we can work when the Almighty has hold of the reins.

What choice do we have but to determine to walk with him? I have at times been so cross with Him for making it so difficult to walk away. I love the Eugene Peterson rendering of the Matthew, Are you tired, worn out, burned out on religion? Come to me ... I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or il-fitting onyou. keep company with me and you'll learn to live lightly and freely. The quote reminds me that once we have known Christ we are spoilt for anything else.
