Matthew 10&11

Intro

a shorter group of passages than normal

a passage we looked at recently when looking at things out of context

Jesus’ ministry in perspective

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

be as shrewd as snakes and innocent as doves

Jesus and John the Baptist

wisdom is proved right by her deeds

Woe to Unrepentant Towns

more bearable for Sodom

The Father Revealed in the Son

my yoke is easy and my burden is light

Application

even when Jesus was alive and walking the earth, people had a hard time believing and following everything he said

many people chased him around

many people came to him for miracles and healing

many people around the known world heard about him and what he was doing

but most did not repent, most did not obey, most did not believe he was from the father

they wanted a king, a superhero, a warlord, a politician

they got a humble servant

his burden is easy and his yoke is light because he does not call you to be any of those things that he was not either

follow him in being a servant with all of your life
