Freedom is for anyone who can keep it. Few can. Maintaining freedom is difficult for the United States of America, Adam and Eve, Israel, and you and me.

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. "For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light." - Matthew 11:28-30 NASU
Jesus, who is from Heaven, came more than to save us but to exchange with us. His exchange rate is an easy yoke for a heavy-laden yoke and a light burden for a weary one. That is the exchange. However, many folks do not want an exchange but prefer one way transfer to drop off their burdens at the feet of Jesus and then leave without responsibility. Thank you, Jesus; see you tomorrow when I drop off my dirty laundry. I don't want the responsibility. Not knowing they also negate any freedom without responsibility.
