Matthew 11:30

Easy. Gr. chrestos, “fit for use,” “good,” “kindly,” or “pleasant”; not “easy” in the sense of being not difficult. No one English word is a good equivalent for chrestos.

My burden is light. He who truly loves Christ will delight to do His will (see on Ps. 40:8). Those who take the “yoke” of submission to the Master, who “come” to “learn” in His school, will find the “rest” of soul He has promised. The heavy burden of legal righteousness, of trying to gain salvation by means of merit supposedly earned by one’s own works rather than secured through the merit of Christ, and the still heavier burden of sin itself, will all be rolled away.
