Abstract
“He descended below all things, in that he comprehended all things, that he might be in all and through all things, the light of truth” (D&C 88:6)
Christ came to save us from our sins. He came to show us by word and deed how we might live lives of joy and happiness, despite the afflictions we all experience, so that we might taste the bitter and know to prize the sweet. His invitation is simple yet profound.
“Come unto me….Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me….For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30)
Let us turn to him and learn from him how he has exemplified this invitation. Our approach will be two-fold: first we will seek to understand the meaning of the invitation and second we will review several New Testament stories that demonstrate the yoke of Christ.
