He says this (Matt 7:13,14) not because the Lord’s yoke is rough or his
burden heavy but because there are a few who wish their labors to end. They do
not put their full trust in the Lord when he cries, “Come to me, all you who
labor, and I will give you rest....” Hence the humble and the meek of heart are
named at the very beginning of this sermon. But because there are many who
spurn this smooth yoke and this light burden, it comes to pass that the way
that leads to life is demanding and the entry gate is narrow.
Saint Augustine
