The gospel is the good news that Jesus visitation to this earth has already paid it all and salvation is ours for the taking. We as preachers ought to herald the glad news of salvation. Salvation is a free gift that any one of us can have.

Even illiterate people can take advantage of salvation.

They are not burdensome or heavy or exacting because you're in love with the command giver. I love this one over here in Matthew. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. A teacher read these verses to her class and then asked her youngsters what a yoke was.
