As Christians, we must understand Christ's yoke. His yoke, as I perceive it, is our commitment to Him, trusting and obeying His Word as we follow Him on the path of righteousness.
As we follow in His footsteps, we must remove our unrighteous garments. As Colossians 3:8-10(NKJV) instructed, "But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language…. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him."
Following Jesus is a continued learning process. We learn from Him his meekness and humbleness of heart.
To the world, meekness means weakness, but for the Christian, meekness means being Christlike. It is strength in display. When Christ was reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously.
Christ displayed meekness because He knew who He was and the purpose He came on earth for. Similarly, we must understand who we are in Christ and our purpose here. It is our responsibility to be examples of Christ in this sinful world, displaying His gentle character by letting our light shine in doing the will of God in meekness and humility of heart.
So let us, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, and most of all, meekness.
