Come, Take, Learn

Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me all ye that labour 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.
COME: To come to Jesus means to trust Him. The invitation is open to those who are exhausted and burdened down.
TAKE: This is a deeper experience. When we take His yoke and learn, we find rest, that deeper rest of surrender and obedience.
When we submit to Christ we are yoked to Him. He has the perfect yoke that is tailor-made for our lives and needs. The burden of doing His will is not a heavy one.
LEARN: As we learn more about Him, we find a deeper peace, because we trust Him more. Life is simplified and unified around the Person of Christ.
