17 From the Book of Matthew is: Matthew 11:25 – 12:21
1.
In 11:25-30, there is an amazing combination of Christ’s claims
to unique authority and to humility. Can
both be true? What do these verses teach concerning (a) His person, and (b) the
attitude He asks from us?
2.
Summarize the main principles of Sabbath observance outlined in
12:1-14. In what way, may we be guilty of the sin of the Pharisees? How are we
to avoid a secularization of the Lord’s day?
3.
12:15-21. These verses
indicate the significance of the Suffering Servant passages om Isaiah for an
understanding of Jesus and His ministry.
Cf. 8:17; Lk. 2:29-32; 22:37; Jn. 12:37, 38. What are the outstanding features of this
ministry?
