In Matthew 11:28 – 30, we read:
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
These passages aptly describe the high standard of humanity and care of Jesus Christ. And for those who believe in Him, it is just a matter of taking on His yoke to lighten any heavy burden we may have in our lives and in our daily struggle with sin.
The pertinent question is then: After we have accepted Him in our life, how do we take His yoke upon us?
Biblical Mathematics provides a clear answer. If we take the original Greek text of “Take my yoke” in Matthew 11:29, its value is 1867.
1867 is a prime number. It is the 285th prime number. But 285 is precisely the identifier of Matthew 6:9-13:
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
The identifier of the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9 – 13 is 285
