The Easy Way

“His commandments are not grievous.” That is, difficult to be borne, as a burden. No, His load is light. His way is the easy way. It’s the way of the transgressor that’s hard. The world loathes His laws. They are opposed to any and all of His commandments. This is seen in their maxims, principles, ideals, and attitude. They are contrary to His commands, and, as a result, there are, and always will be, a continual conflict between the two.

Whenever you find a professing Christian arguing God’s commands are unreasonable, to justify his or her unruly life, you will find just that, a professing Christian. Christ’s commands go against the grain of all those running the wrong way. You have never heard a true Christian say, “God is a hard taskmaster. As A.W. Tozer says, “God is easy to live with.”

Any duty the Lord may require of us is not beyond our ability to perform. What He commands, He enables us to do. Love lightens the load. Jacob toiled many years for Rachel, but they seemed as a few days for the love he had for her. There is no load to heavy that love cannot carry!
