Mt 11:7-30

  • v12 - forceful? What did Jesus mean by that? "The kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it."
  • v13 - Because--until John prophesied all the Prophets and the Law.
  • v21 - Korazin, Bethsaida--cities that did not repend even Jesus performed many miracles.
  • v22 - they will be worse than Tyre and Sidon (Samaritans).
  • v23~24 - Capernaum will be worse than Sodom because it 'forgot' the miracles (did not remain).
  • v26 - Jesus 'resigned'-->for such was the good pleasure of the Father--hidden for the wise and learned, revealed to little children.
  • v27 - only the Father knows the Son, only the Son (and those he chose) know the Father.
  • v29 - the 'Great Invitation'--to all you who are weary and burdened (of all generations to come--aren't we all?), come to me.
    • Take my yoke
    • Learn from me
  • v30 - because?
    • my yoke is easy
    • my burden is light
