In researching the meanings of "burden" and "yoke" as used in the scriptures, I came across a couple of interesting things worthy of sharing. The first is a footnote to Isaiah 5:18: "They are tied to their sins like beasts to their burdens."
This visualization struck me with great force about more fully applying the atonement to my daily life.
My second search results for the meanings of "burden" and "yoke" as used in the scriptures, has more to do with us as individuals relieving the burdens of our friends, neighbors, and loved ones. It comes from The First Epistle of Paul The Apostle to Timothy, chapter 5 verse 16: "If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed."
I need to be a better person.
