Walking With Jesus
“Come to me, all 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 lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30)
Walking with Jesus brings a profound sense of comfort and relief. He beckons to those who are burdened and weary, offering rest for their souls. By embracing His teachings and submitting to His gentle and humble nature, we find solace, refreshment, and freedom from the heavy weight of sin and worldly concerns. WWJ

True Christianity
Christianity is much more than just claiming to be a Christian. Christianity is walking with Jesus. Christianity is recognizing that we cannot live the Christian life without involving Him in it. Chistian life is a life of depen-dance, of surrender, and of obedience.
About dependance Jesus said: “1 I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5 I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:1-5).
About surrender, the apostle Paul wrote: “16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another” (Galatians 5:16-25).
About Obedience > Jesus said “If you love Me, keep My command-ments” (John 14:15). A Christian who is not obeying Jesus’ commands can rightly be asked, “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?” (Luke 6:46). The Bible says that we show our love for Jesus by obeying Him in all things: (Matthew 16:24)
So yes; Christianity is much more than just claiming to be a Christian. Christianity is being led by Jesus and committed to Him in service.
