Jesus' yoke (Matt 11:28-30) vs the Law's yoke (Acts 15:10): Why is Jesus' yoke easier? Jesus promises that his yoke is easy: 28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 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. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” [Matthew 11:28-30, ESV] In contrast, Peter appears to be saying that the yoke of the Law is burdensome: 10 Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? 11 But we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they will.” [Acts 15:10-11, ESV] Obviously, Jesus and Peter cannot be talking about the same thing. Why is the yoke of Jesus easy and the yoke Peter alludes to unbearable? What are the key differences between these two yokes that make one easy and the other difficult?
