Jesus is not a hard taskmaster. Jesus Christ is Lord and he gives grace and mercy to those
who turn to him. He is ready to take away your sins. He is ready to heal you. He is
ready to change who you are to a new person. He is ready to bring you into the kingdom.
But he is not a God who is a hard task master, and you must do this and that. Dear friends
when we turn to the Lord he will do the work that you can't do and that's to change you.
And that's all he wants you to do is open the door and let him as his yoke is easy and
his burden is light. He is not a hard taskmaster. He doesn't require you to do the impossible.
He doesn't flog you to go and do what he wants you to do. He is looking for people who repent
and turned to him on his terms. As long as you are willing to turn away from your sins
and turn away from yourself, then you are ready to follow the Lord and enter his kingdom
in his grace and his mercy. If you are not ready to leave your life the things of sin
in your life, and all the things you want to do, then you can't follow Jesus, because
when we follow Jesus we follow him on his terms. And his terms are easy; simply turn
away from the world and away from your sins and follow me says the Lord. And he will receive
you into his kingdom when he returned and he will take you to be with him. But you have
to be prepared to turn to him and accept his grace today and open the door. If you can
do that, that is all that you need to do...
