3 WORDS FROM THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

MT. 11:27-30

 

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. JESUS SAYS “COME” – HE WILL BE YOUR MESSIAH/SAVIOUR

 

1. “COME” – We need Him [v. 27-28, Eph. 2:1-3, 12]

 

2. “COME” – We are Wanted by Him [v. 28, Is. 1:18, Rev. 22:17] who should come? Children Old people Middle-aged Everybody

-Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

-And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

 

3. “COME” – We are Secure in Him [v. 27-28, Jn. 6:37-40]

All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day

 

II. JESUS SAYS “TAKE” – HE WILL BE YOUR MASTER [v. 29-30]

There are two yokes- your choice

 

1.  The Yoke of Bondage [Acts 15:10, Gal. 5:1]

- Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

- STAND fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

 

2. The Yoke of Christ [v. 29-30]

 

Trust in God to do right.

To do right- trust in God.

Trust in God and do right.

 

III. JESUS SAYS “LEARN” – HE WILL BE YOUR MENTOR [v. 29]

 

1. Learn of His Humble Heart and Be Comforted [1 Cor. 4:6, James 4:6]

-And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

-But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

 

2. Learn of His Humble Heart and Be Content [Phil. 2:5-11]

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 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. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

 

3. Learn of His Humble Heart and Continue [2 Tm. 2:15, 20-22; 3:14]

-Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

- in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

-But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
