“Come to me, all you who are 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.”
Matthew 11:28-30

I lay down my life—only to take it up

it down of my own accord. I have
authority to lay it down and authority to
take it up again.
