Kingdom Living - The Commands of ChristНамуна
Commands of Christ: 36
Come to me. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me.
This is one of the most encouraging commands I have ever heard. Though He is the King of kings, He is not a harsh taskmaster. He is gentle and giving and understanding of our weakness and is there to help. This is contingent on our taking His burden, and not our own. It is contingent on our following His instruction and His way and not our own. Of course, this is best in every conceivable way. He is wiser. He sees the end from the beginning. He made us and knows us better than we know ourselves. He wants the best for us and has the power to make everything work for our good. What a joy to obey this command to come to Him!
Scripture
About this Plan
Our lives should be characterized by what Jesus commanded and as His followers we should be getting others to love (and thus obey) Him as well. This is not optional or for extra credit. It is the very essence of what it means to be His follower. "...teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you..." This is what Kingdom Living is all about.
