Being the Disciple God call us to be

Following Jesus is the first step of being a disciple after excepting him as your personal Savior is beginning to learn Of him

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.”

Heavy laden

Luke 11:46 “And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.”

Learn of me

1 Peter 2:21 “For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:”

Meek

Philippians 2:7–8 “But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”

I have not told you to do something I have not done

Jeremiah 6:16 “Thus saith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.”

If we walk in the path f Jesus you shall have rest

We get caught up trying to work it out ourselves

Yoke is Easy

1 John 5:3 “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”

Hebrews 13:5 KJV 1900

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

To often we feel sorry for ourselves or we let the devil talk to us and paint a dem picture

we need remember god is not darkness nor is he doom and gloom when it come to his children
