No Other Burden

Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. Revelation 2:24

Thyatira had some sin problems, including sexual immorality, but there were those in the church who did not fall into this sort of thing. And the Lord Jesus remembered them too as He promised to put no other burden on them. Is that even possible? We might ask because we gain this impression from certain preachers in our past or present that this life but one burden after another piled on us until we drop. Whatever problem that preacher had, or whatever misunderstanding we jumped into from their teaching, we should not have gained that from the Son of Man who said, "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28)

From the story of the church at Thyatira, we understand that it is sin that burdens us, along with the chastening that must take place for that sin. Avoid the sin, and no further burdens will be put on.

Happy Juneteenth! Rejoice in Christ our Lord for the freeing of slaves to sin.
