Matthew - Day 17: Jesus Calls For Repentence

Read Matthew 11

While the disciples were fulfilling what Jesus had called them to, Jesus was approached by emissaries from John the Baptist (his cousin) who received confirmation that He, Jesus, was indeed the Savior. Jesus stated that John was the messenger foretold by Malachi in the Old Testament. Jesus would then go on to speak about His impending judgment and burden free invitation.

Q: Why did John send two disciples to Jesus?

Q: Who did Jesus say would be greater than John the Baptist?

Q: Why did Jesus rebuke the cities of Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum?

Q: Who did Jesus extend His invitation to? What did He expect in return?

Q: Why does Jesus say His yoke is easy and burden light?

Q: Is there any area of life that has you fatigued? How can Jesus words (vs. 28-30) provide hope and assurance during this difficult time?
