Matthew 11:5

Reading:

Matthew 11:1-15

These questions will make more sense if you read the passage.

What should I do with my own doubts regarding spiritual matters? (3)

How highly do I value the witness of another? (4)

Offended in Jesus? Me? Why? When? (6)

What motivates me to go hear the visiting preacher? (7-9)

“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear” (Matthew 11:15).

How well does my heart use my ears?

[The Scriptures say in Matthew 11:6 -- And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me]

Tempted

For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

Hebrews 2:18

Reading:

Matthew 1:18-25; Hebrews 2:14-18

Is my justice directed by grace?

Did I notice God with me yesterday?

Am I prompt to obey (and precise as well)?

“Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren…” (Hebrews 2:17).

Why would Jesus want to be like I?

When was the last time I turned to Him during temptation?
