The call to follow Christ is one of surrendering all to Him. One aspect of that surrender is the carrying to Him, and leaving with Him, our burdens. These burdens may be very many, and of many types. The effect of them upon the soul is the same. They weigh the person down, hindering and demoralizing him. When Christ lifts the burdens, and the responsibility is placed upon His shoulders, then the soul knows freedom, relief, and peace. In truth, Christ alone can bear burdens, sheep are not meant to do so.
