CHRIST the REST-BRINGER: “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Mt 11:29). Learning daily from Christ is the secret to spiritual progress, victory, and enjoyment. Andrew Murray writes, “There is one lesson all young Christians should learn, namely this—the absolute necessity of fellowship with Jesus every day. This lesson is not always taught at the beginning of the Christian life, nor is it always understood by the young convert. He should realize that the…joy in the Holy Spirit can only be preserved by daily renewal in fellowship with Jesus Christ Himself.…Time alone with the Lord Jesus each day is the indispensable condition of growth and power.…For Christ’s sake, and in order to please Him; for my own sake, and to enable me to enjoy this blessed experience each day, I will learn the lesson, to spend time each day—without exception—in fellowship with my Lord.”
