LEARNING CHRIST-2

Text:  Matthew 11:29.(NLT).

Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

*Christ is both 'teachable and  'learnable'- He can be taught and learnt,* hence Apostle Paul said to the church in Ephesus, _"But you have not so learned Christ"_ Ephesians 4:20.

The question we may need to ask now is: what are we teaching and learning in our churches today?

Jesus Christ once told His disciples, "let me teach you..." because He knew clearly well that it is by teaching them they will learn of Him, and find rest for their souls. 

Many activities are going on in the church today, but what the Lord is really after is disciple-making.

Interestingly, disciples are born from sound teachings. And, the core of the great commission as spelt out in Mathew 28 are primarily making disciples and teaching them to observe all that Jesus Christ has commanded. 

 *Disciples are learners (pupils). So, if we are going to learn Christ, then you’ll be His disciple indeed.* Disciples are learners of Christ. They are followers (learners) of Christ Jesus in order to  become more and more like Him (their master).

It is becoming more and more difficult today to gather believers who simply want to learn their master(Jesus Christ). They are more interested in the gifs the master can offer than the very life of the master Himself. 

This generation of believers and christians are having itching ears. They cannot endure sound doctrine. So, they heap to themselves teachers that can satisfy their lusts.(2Tim.4:3). Such cannot take the yoke of Christ, hence they cannot  learn of Him.

You will become all that Christ is majorly by learning through teachings of sound doctrines by sound teachers of the word.
