learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart
| John 1: 5 - 10 |
|
| 5 | The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. |
| 6 | There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. |
| 7 | He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through him. |
| 8 | He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light. |
| 9 | The true light that enlightens every man was coming into the world. |
| 10 | He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world knew him not. |
| Psalms 103: 1 - 4, 8 - 9, 13 - 14, 17 - 18 |
|
| 1 | Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless his holy name! |
| 2 | Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits, |
| 3 | who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, |
| 4 | who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, |
| 8 | The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. |
| 9 | He will not always chide, nor will he keep his anger for ever. |
| 13 | As a father pities his children, so the LORD pities those who fear him. |
| 14 | For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. |
| 17 | But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children, |
| 18 | to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. |
| Matthew 11: 25 - 30 |
|
| 25 | At that time Jesus declared, “I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to babes; |
| 26 | yea, Father, for such was thy gracious will. |
| 27 | All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and any one to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. |
| 28 | Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. |
| 29 | 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. |
| 30 | For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” |
God said: I have placed you in the midst of your fellows so that you may do to them what you cannot do to Me - that is, so that you may love your neighbor freely without expecting any return from him. And what you do to him I count it done to Me.
