This seems like an odd title for a Puritan work, but it is Burroughs’ actual title. The title page says, “Showing that the way that Jesus Christ teaches is an easy way.”
Based on Matthew 11:30, “My yoke is easy and My burden is light.” Burroughs shows that the way of salvation is indeed easy if compared to any other way. The yoke of Christ is certainly easier than the yoke of the law. It is easier than the yoke of sin. It is easier than trying to earn God’s favor through human effort.
One prominent pastor has said that there are only two religions that have ever existed: the religion of human achievement and the religion of divine accomplishment. It’s actually the ONLY way to heaven, much less the only EASY way to heaven. This book should be of great encouragement to all God’s children.
