In every one of Jesus’ promises, He tells us something about our relationship with Him. Yoke yourself to Christ: Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you (Mat. 11:28–29). Come to Christ: All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out (John 6:37). Follow Christ: Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men (Mat. 4:19). Obey Christ: If you love me you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever (John 14:15–16). Confess Christ: Everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven (Mat. 10:32). Trust Christ: Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me (John 14:1). See Christ: I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory (John 17:24). You can build your life on the rock-solid promises of Jesus Christ. Is there something about your relationship with Jesus that you’ve been avoiding or neglecting?
