“Only the one who follows the command of Jesus
single-mindedly, and unresistingly lets his yoke rest upon him, finds his
burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in
the right way. The command of Jesus is hard, unutterably hard, for those who
try to resist it. But for those who willingly submit, the yoke is easy, and the
burden is light.”
-- Dietrich Bonhoeffer, The Cost of
Discipleship
