"I CAN'T GET NO SATISFACTION".........(Matthew 11:28-30)
Before The Rolling Stones sang it in the sixties, untold billions across the world are searching for a way to be "SATISFIED"!  The bible tells us several things about SATISFACTION:  (1)-"The eyes of man are never satisfied"-(Proverbs)    (2)-"A good man is satisfied from himself"   (3)-"I'll be satisfied when I shall awake with thy likeness"-(Psalms)
      A. Satisfaction is Found in being Saved-("Come unto me")
B. Satisfaction Is Found In Service -("Take my yoke upon you")   Jesus moves immediately from the picture of rest in verse 28, to the idea of work in verse 29, He does so by referring to the "yoke". The yoke was a wooden instrument that was used to connect the ox to the burned which the ox was expected to pull. Apparently, Jesus has the idea that His followers are expected to serve Him in some fashion. Sadly, this is a foreign concept to many believers, but in truth, no believer will ever be fully satisfied until he or she finds themself engaged in the Lord's work. To do anything less is to deny our destiny as Christians. You see, we are not saved by works, but work is surely expected from us after we are saved, *** Eph. 2:10; Titus 2:14; 3:8; James 2:18***. To do anything less denies our spiritual destiny and dishonors our Lord.
When the bible speaks of a "burden that needs to be moved".... I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me! Yet, Jesus says that His yoke is easy. Simply put-"It fits your neck"!  Jesus must have carved out a lot of ox yoke as He was growing up there in Nazareth. Now, as our Savior, He is still carving out individualized, perfectly fitting yoke for each of His children.
This is one reason preachers remind folks about faithfulness and duty. There is far more to being a Christian that just making a profession of faith. There will be many who have made "professions of faith" but who will still die and go to Hell. You see, genuine salvation always manifests itself in obedience, faithful and works. Read James 2:18 once again!) 
(Therefore, when a believer yields his/her life to the Lord in service, they will find that they will become truly satisfied in their hearts and souls. Jesus does make a difference, and that difference should always be lived out!)
C. Satisfaction Is Found in Study-("Learn of me") Notice the word "learn". This is the same work from which we get the word Disciple. What Jesus is asking you and me to do is to surrender to Him and become His Disciple. ("Study to show thyself approved unto GOD"!)
D. Satisfaction Is Found In Surrender -("I am meek and lowly in heart")  Take note of the commands given by Jesus in these verses: Come, Take, Learn. All of these words are verbs. They are words which anticipate some action on the part of the hearers. There words were given by the Lord Jesus to elicit a response from every person who heard these words. (By the way, we cannot relegate these verses to the Jews and say they have no importance to us tonight. These verses are just as inspired and just as binding as they were when they were spoken 2,000 years ago.
We talk about surrender, but what do we mean? Surrender is defined as,1. a : to yield to the power, control, or possession of another upon compulsion or demand surrendered b : to give up completely or agree to forgo esp. in favor of another 2. a : to give (oneself) up into the power of another esp. as a prisoner b : to give (oneself) over to something (as an influence. That is what surrender means, but what are we to surrender to?)  Every burden we are called upon to pull has been placed there for our good, Rom. 8:28.
