Contextual Overview
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Toma mi yugo - Esta es una figura tomada del uso de bueyes y, por lo tanto, significa trabajar para uno, o al servicio de cualquiera. El "yugo" se usa en la Biblia como emblema:
(1) De esclavitud o esclavitud, Levítico 26:13; Deuteronomio 28:38.
(2) De aflicciones o cruces, Lamentaciones 3:27.
(3) Del castigo del pecado, Lamentaciones 1:14,
(4) De los mandamientos de Dios.
(5) De ceremonias legales, Hechos 15:1; Gálatas 5:1.
Se refiere aquí a la religión del Redentor; y la idea es que deben abrazar su sistema de religión y obedecerlo. Toda virtud y toda religión implican "moderación" - la moderación de nuestras malas pasiones e inclinaciones - y sujeción a las leyes; y el Salvador aquí significa decir que las restricciones y leyes de su religión son suaves, gentiles y fáciles. Que cualquiera los compare con las onerosas y costosas ceremonias de los judíos (ver Hechos 15:1), o con los ritos religiosos de los paganos en todas partes, o con los requisitos del sistema popish, y verá cuán cierto es que el yugo de Jesús es fácil. Y que sus leyes y requisitos se comparen con las leyes que el pecado impone a sus devotos, las leyes de la moda, el honor y la sensualidad, y sentirá que la religión es "libertad", Juan 8:36. "Es un hombre libre a quien la verdad libera, y todos son esclavos además". Es "más fácil" ser cristiano que pecador; y de todos los yugos jamás impuestos a las personas, el del Redentor es el más ligero.
Porque soy manso ... - Vea las notas en Mateo 5:5. Este era eminentemente el carácter personal de Cristo. Pero este no es su significado aquí. Él está dando una razón por la que deberían abrazar su religión. Es decir, que no era duro, dominante y opresivo, como los fariseos, sino manso, amable y gentil en su gobierno. Sus leyes eran razonables y tiernas, y sería fácil obedecerlo.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verso Mateo 11:29. Lleva mi yugo sobre ti... ¡Extraña paradoja! que un hombre ya cansado y sobrecargado debe cargar un nuevo peso sobre él, para ser aliviado y encontrar descanso ! Pero este consejo es similar al dicho, Salmo 55:22. Echa tu carga sobre el Señor, y él te sostendrá ; es decir, confía en tu alma y en sus preocupaciones, y él llevará tanto tú mismo y tu carga .
Soy manso y humilde de corazón... Dondequiera que hay orgullo e ira viviendo, hay más que trabajo mental y agonía ; pero, donde moran la mansedumbre y humildad de Cristo, todo es suave, uniforme, apacible y tranquilo ; porque la obra de justicia es paz, y el efecto de la justicia, tranquilidad y seguridad para nunca. Isaías 32:17.
