“Heavy Yoke”

Acts 15: 10: “Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?” Did James call the Law of the Old Testament a yoke too heavy to bear? Yes and no. The Law Moses gave was perfect and light (Romans 7: 12), but when we try to change it to make it say what we think it should say, we make it exponentially heavier; a mistake people made then, and still make today.
