Matthew
11:30
“Come unto
Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
V29 Take My
yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am lowly
in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
V30 For My
yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”
Don’t
think for one minute that this kind of teaching was acceptable or easily
assimilated.
The Jews
were first under the task master of Egypt, then after they were freed from
bondage of a foreign nation, they fell into bondage again under the heavy arm
of the their own leaders, the Sanhedrin.
It’s
true, the Sanhedrin had taken the simple law of God and written 100 laws for
every law that God had given them; expanding,
dividing, diluting, confusing, elaborating, augmenting, partitioning,
subdivide, confounding, distorting, twisting,
perverting, misstating and misrepresenting the Word of God.
In order
for Christ to reach anyone during His ministry Jesus had to teach the people to
unlearn before He could them to Learn anything.
And in
order for you to reach anyone during your ministry you have to teach the people to
unlearn before you can teach them
to Learn anything.
But it
isn’t easy to disassemble a foundation, once a tower has been built on it, and
not many people are interested in allowing
that kind of restoration/rehabilitation, a kind of spiritual surgery.
It’s no
small thing - the foundation of world religions, world theologies, world
philosophies, Ideologies, belief systems and even social structures are often
built upon erroneous and unsubstantiated information/truth/facts."
