Learn of Me
Recently the Lord really spoke to me about praying for our discipline in Him and the necessity of coming together in study with all diligence and prayer.
Jesus said, “Come unto Me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me” (Matthew 11:28-29,KJV). Christ tells us very plainly: “Do not attempt to take on a walk with Me until you are at rest in your soul!”
If you do not have full confidence in Christ, His yoke will not be easy or light. On the contrary, you will spend your time striving in the flesh to please Him. You will be tossed to and fro, living with unnecessary guilt and shame.
I believe the key to this verse lies in the words “learn of me.” Jesus is speaking here of the discipline of learning who He is and what He accomplished on the cross. He is saying, “You must have a knowledge of what I have done for you. Then, once your soul is at rest, you can take on My yoke. So, learn of Me!”
The word “learn” is written in a progressive tense, meaning on-going and continual. The inference is that we will never learn all there is to know of Christ, at least not on this earth, and that we can never study the word of God too much.
Financial investments are frequently lost, relationships are sometimes lost, but no investment in the Kingdom is ever lost…
Jesus says, Learn of me ! So I ask you friends, how can we ever say no to Him!
Love this truth and seeing God’s word in a different light.
Amen. Love it.. Thank you God for letting me Lean on you!!!
