CHRIST Is Both TEACHER, And LESSON; GUIDE, And WAY!

Christ has a yoke for our necks--
as well as a crown for our heads!
(Matthew Henry)

"Come to ME, all who are weary 
and heavy-laden, and I will give 
you rest. Take MY yoke upon you 
and learn from ME, for I am meek 
and humble in heart, and you will 
find rest for your souls." Matthew 11:28-29

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

First, we must come to CHRIST as our 
great high-priest Priest and repose 
ourselves in HIM for salvation.

Second, we must come to HIM as 
our PRINCE or RULER, and submit 
ourselves to 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 (Act 5:31). 
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 
PROPHET or TEACHER, and set 
ourselves to learn from HIM. 
We must learn of HIM to be 

"Meek and and humble in heart"--

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!
