(J.R. Miller, "Living Victoriously")
Jesus says, "Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me." Matthew 11:29
The course of instruction is long, and the lessons are many. The learning is not merely intellectual, but essentially practical. It is not enough to know what a Christian life should be--what qualities and virtues go to make up Christlikeness. We are to learn to live the things which are Christly! We are not merely to know what self-denial, patience, unselfishness, thoughtfulness, and kindness are--but we are to get these qualities wrought into our own disposition and character!
"Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them!" John 13:17
