“Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” – Matthew 11:28-30
“LEARN OF ME” is to seek him first, is to gather around only him.
“LEARN OF JESUS CHRIST” this is our only burden and it is wonderfully light and easy. This is the key to living the Christian life.
We cannot find real rest if we fail to ‘learn of Christ’.
Someone who puts burdens and demands or rules on themselves and on others and calls that Christianity or Christian ministry has not yet “learned of Christ”. This mindset is a mixture of humanism, human strength or greatness, with serving Christ.
Do not listen to them!
And do not do this to others, especially your children.
The only Christian burden or duty is to learn of Jesus Christ, in other words ‘seek him first then all things will be added to you.’ Matt 6:33
