The "burden" of following Jesus is, ironically, much easier to bear than the supposed freedom of live in sin. "Yoke" in the Bible: Matthew 11:28-30http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2011:28-30&version=NIV2009-08-25T11:09:46-05:00
Christianity has an unfortunate reputation for burdening people with moral guilt and long lists of rules and laws to follow. But this couldn't be further from the truth: as Jesus himself says here, taking up the "burden" of Christ is much simpler and easier than struggling under the weight of sin and worldly concerns.
