CHRIST Is Exalted To Be Both A PRINCE And A SAVIOR.

He is both Teacher and 

Lesson, Guide and Way!

"Take MY yoke upon you and learn from ME, 
for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you 
will find rest for your souls. For MY yoke 
is easy and My burden is light." Matthew 11:29-30

(Matthew Henry)

We are here invited to CHRIST as . . .
  our PRIEST, to be saved by HIM,
  our PRINCE, to be ruled by HIM, and
  our PROPHET, to be taught by HIM.

First, we must come to CHRIST as our 

Rest, and repose ourselves in HIM.

Second, we must come to HIM as our 

Ruler, and submit ourselves in HIM, 

'Take MY yoke upon you.' 

This must go along with the former, 

for CHRIST is exalted to be both a 

PRINCE and a SAVIOR (Acts 5:31), 

'a priest upon his throne' (Zechariah 6:13). 

The rest HE promises is a release 

from the drudgery of sin--

not from the service of GOD. 

CHRIST has a yoke for our necks--

as well as a crown for our heads; and 

this yoke HE requires that we should 

take upon us.

Third, we must come to HIM as our 

Teacher, and set ourselves to learn 

of HIM. We must learn of HIM to be 

'meek and lowly,' and to mortify our 

pride and passion, which render us 

so unlike to HIM. We must so learn 

of CHRIST, for HE is both Teacher 

and Lesson, Guide and Way.
