MY YOKE ...

"If the “yoke” Jesus had in mind was one that had been placed upon him by his heavenly Father, then this would signify that others could get under the yoke with him and he would assist them. On the other hand, if the yoke is one that Jesus himself puts on others, then the reference is to submitting oneself to Christ’s authority and direction as his disciple" - it Vol II p. 1216

A yoke was an instrument placed on a person's (or an animals) shoulder in order to make the carrying of a weight or the perfoming of a task easier. Jesus used here a yoke as a metaphor for help/assistance to fulfill Christian's responsibilities. The help (yoke) Jesus provides is "kindly" from the Greek "Chrestos" (#5543 meaning "suitable, usefully kind") and "light" in that it is not overly burdensome or painful. ("easy" in English doesn't most accurately convey the meaning of the Greek, as English word "easy" today implies without effort)

We will continue to find refreshment under Jesus’ yoke if we do three things. First, keep the right perspective. We are doing Jehovah’s work, so it must be done Jehovah’s way. We are the workers, and Jehovah is the Master. (Luke 17:10) If we try to do his work our way, we will find ourselves fighting against the yoke. Even a powerful bull is likely to injure and exhaust itself if it constantly tries to go in its own direction and fights against the yoke that its master controls. On the other hand, we can do extraordinary things and overcome any obstacle if we follow Jehovah’s guidance. Remember that nobody can stop his will from being accomplished!​—Rom. 8:31; 1 John 4:4

REFRESHMENT

"How does Jesus offer refreshment? The religious leaders have burdened the people with enslaving traditions, such as overly restrictive Sabbath regulations. But Jesus refreshes them by teaching the truth of God, free from the taint of those traditions. He also shows the way of relief to ones who feel crushed by the domination of political authorities and to those who feel weighed down by sin. Yes, Jesus reveals to them how their sins can be forgiven and how they can be at peace with God." jy
