I opened my mouth, and said, Buy her [Wisdom] for yourselves without money. Put your neck under the yoke, and let your soul receive instruction: she is hard at hand to find. Behold with your eyes, how that I have had but little labour, and have gotten unto me much rest.
I wonder if our Lord was putting Himself in the place of Wisdom, then, when in Matthew 11 He invited us under His yoke to find rest for our souls!
Hi Pastor
ReplyDeleteI've also seen where the ancient Jewish community saw living under the Torah as a "yoke". Though in Jewish thought there's a lot of overlap between Torah and Wisdom also.
Take care & God bless
