The prophet Zechariah showed that Jesus wouldn’t come as a conquering victor, but as the King of Peace. And to truly worship this peaceful king, we must resist temptations and turn away from sin. This seems daunting, but Jesus assured us that the burden of discipleship is lighter than the burden of carrying the weight of wrongful thoughts and deeds. If we take on his yoke by embracing his teachings and commands, we will discover that the reward for following Jesus far outweighs anything we get from sin. It’s a journey that leads to true freedom, peace, and eternal life with the Father in heaven!
