Jesus Living

Jesus’ invitation – “learn from me.”

“learn from me” – “For I am gentle and humble in heart.”

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden,
and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me,
for I am gentle and humble in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Matthew 11:28–30
