Hey my friends I'm Matt this is the 10 minute Bible hour

podcast and I want to contrast two things for you thing number one is the United States presidential

election of 2020, the results of which are coming in as I sit here right now

recording this. I don't know who's winning. I don't know who's winning I know I am exhausted of it I

saw a poll today that said that election day 2020 was considered by 55% of

those surveyed in my country to be the most stressful day of their lives.

You've seen the ads, you've seen the tweets, you've seen the way people have treated each

other, you've hung around on Facebook, you've experienced

the cost of thinking the wrong thing in your relationships, you've probably experienced friction

you've never felt before with people you love, maybe even in your immediate family, maybe you've lost

friendships over it. You've experienced the wrath of self-righteousness and judgment from people who cannot

tolerate your wrong think in any way.

And the sad thing about this is, is no matter what you like politically,

you're nodding your head in agreement to this because you've felt it in one way or another even though the two

flavors in my country are a little bit different this pressure this weight

this burden is something everyone is feeling right now.

Okay, there's thing number one. I told you we were going to do a contrast.

The thing so burdensome that 55% of my countrymen and country women would say it is the most stressful day of their entire lives.

I want to contrast that with this, these words are and read from Jesus come to me all you who were

weary and burdened 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.

Oh what's it been? Six months ago a hundred episodes ago maybe more when we got into the sermon
