Jeremiah’s taking up and wearing this yoke, as a prophet in Old Testament times, is a picture of our taking up the yoke of Christ in New Testament times. A Christian who wants to be faithful to God and learn the way of walking with Christ in righteousness, will be willing like Jeremiah, to take their stand for the truth. The truth that Jeremiah was taking his stand for was that all of God’s purposes would be fulfilled. We should be willing take our stand for this same truth also, and we should do our best to submit God’s purpose as His providence reveals his decretive will; the will of His decrees. A person who has Christ’s grace will not fight taking up Christ’s yoke and learning from Him. What He would have you to learn, is how to submit to God. You and I, in order to be faithful disciples of our Lord, must remember that good saying of His which is found in Matthew 11: 29 – “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy and My burden is light. So having stated the proposition, let me give you the main points. 1st – If you would take up Christ’s yoke and learn from Him in difficult circumstances you must believe that the whole earth in God’s hands. (verses 2-8) 2nd – If you would take up Christ’s yoke and learn from Him in difficult circumstances, you must remember that your spiritual and material prosperity are in His hands. (verses 9-15) And 3rd – If you would take up Christ’s yoke and learn from Him in difficult circumstances, you must remember that your times are in His hands. (verses 16-22)
