How often do we come in contact with people who are never happy. They fail of enjoying the contentment and peace that Jesus can give. They profess to be Christians, but they do not comply with the conditions upon which the promise of God is fulfilled. Jesus has said, "Come unto me, all ye that labor, and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me: for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." The reason why many are in a state of unrest is that they are not learning in the school of the Master. The submissive, self-sacrificing child of God understands by experience what it is to have the peace of Christ. True followers of Christ know that they must take his yoke, share his trials, carry his burdens. But they do not feel like complaining; for the meekness and lowliness of Christ makes the yoke easy and the burden light.

Hvor ofte møder vi ikke mennesker som aldrig er glade. De savner glæden ved den tilfredsstillelse og den fred, Jesus kan give. De bekender kristentroen, men opfylder ikke betingelserne for at opnå Guds løfter. Jesus sagde: "kom hid til mig, alle i, som er tyngede af byrder og jeg vil give jer hvile. Tag mit åg på jer og lær af mig, thi jeg er sagtmodig og ydmyg af hjertet; "så skal i finde hvile for jeres sjæle" thi mit åg er gavnligt og min byrde er let." mange lever i uro, fordi de ikke er elever i mesterens skole. Af erfaring forstår Guds hengivne og selvopofrende barn hvad det er at eje Kristi fred. Kristi sande efterfølgere ved, at de må tage hans åg, tage del i hans prøvelser og bære hans byrder de ønsker ikke at beklage sig, da Kristi ydmyghed og sagtmodighed gør åget nemt og byrden let.
