An iron yoke...
In Deuteronomy 28:15-19, the Lord cautions the Israelites that curses will befall them if they do not follow the law. Later, in verse 48, one of the curses, captivity, comes with the warning of an "iron yoke." The same sort of yoke that is used to harness working animals. A heavy burden. The consequences of violating the covenant. The Good News for us is that the covenant we now live under comes with the offer of a different kind of yoke. Jesus invites us to take on his yoke. To rest. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30.
