"Take MY Yoke Upon You And Learn From ME." Says Our LORD.

We are to learn to live the things 
which are Christly! 
(J.R. Miller, "Living Victoriously")

JESUS says, 

"Take MY yoke upon you and 
learn from ME." Matthew 11:29

The course of instruction is long
and 
the lessons are many. The learning 
is not merely intellectual, but 
essentially practical. 

It is not enough to know what 
a Christian life should be--
what qualities and virtues go 
to make up Christlikeness. 

We are to learn to live the things 
which are Christly! 

We are not merely to know what 
self-denial, patience, unselfishness, 
thoughtfulness, and kindness are--
but we are to get these qualities wrought 
into our own disposition and character!

"Now that you know these things, 

you will be blessed if you do them!" 
John 13:17
