Matthew 11

The text for tomorrow morning is from Matthew chapter 11...where we find John the Baptist in prison, asking Jesus if he is indeed the one who is to come...

You might also read Malachi 3-4, which is where scholars think John's reference of 'the one who is to come' is found...

Then go back and look at the Magnificat (Luke 1), Jesus opening sermon (Luke 4) and the Beatitudes (Luke 6) and notice...what are the similarities in the kingdom references in these places?

See you in the morning!

The Beatitudes of Luke

Tomorrow morning we will be looking at the kingdom perspective of Luke found in his version of the Beatitudes (chapter 6)...

They hold significant differences from those found in Matthew, particularly in that there are groups who will be blessed and 'woe unto' certain groups.

Is this simply a list of virtues, an unattainable value system to aim at, or is Christ drawing us a picture of how He wants things to run within His kingdom?

See you in the morning!
