The Luggage Has Wheels
IllustrationTestimonyAnalogy★★★★I REMEMBER one time that I was going through the airport. I carried two pieces of luggage that were very heavy. I had sweat coming off my head, that luggage was so heavy. Someone saw me struggling and gave me a brilliant idea.
They drew my attention to the fact that my luggage had wheels. I had been carrying around what I could roll around. Now, when I started rolling the suitcases, they still weighed the same.
If they had been put on the scale, they would still register the same weight, but I could carry the weight differently by using the wheels. I could carry the suitcases with me and rest and be at ease as I walked through the airport. Jesus says, “I am your wheels. Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden … and let’s roll this baby.”
The point
A man struggling to carry heavy luggage discovers his suitcases have wheels; Jesus similarly offers to help carry our spiritual burdens if we let Him.
