Study
16 From the Book of Matthew is: Matthew
11:1-24
1.
What may we learn o f the character of John the Baptist from his
problems and doubts concerning Jesus, and from our Lord’s commendation of him
(verses 1-19)?
2.
Verses 20:24. We may discern here some important principles
behind God’s judgment of mankind. What
are they, and what relevance do they have in our situation?
Notes
1.
There is a unity in chapters 11 and 12. Apparently disconnected incidents are linked
together around the theme of the reality and nature of the Messiahship of
Jesus.
2.
Verse 12 may suggest either the dynamic of John’s ministry or
the cost of becoming a member of the Kingdom.
3.
Verse 19 may read ‘deeds’ or ‘children’ (mg.) In either case the
verse means that God’s way are justified by their results.
