Seeing but not Believing

Matthew 11:20-22

There is an expression in English which says, "Seeing is believing". Interestingly it comes from Jesus' words to doubting Thomas who only believed because he had seen (John 20:29).

Seeing and Refusing to Believe

Matthew 11:23-24

Capernaum was the base for Jesus and His disciples when they were in the Galilee area. The miracles He performed were the talk of the town; and they clamoured to see more.

Hidden and Revealed

Matthew 11:25-26

The Authority of Jesus

Matthew 11:27

Matthew 11:28-30

The King is kind! Having pronounced judgement on the unrepentant towns, Jesus turned His attention to the many people who were eager to welcome Him - but might have doubted if He really wanted them.

Quick to Accuse

Matthew 12:1-4

Jesus was a problem to the religious authorities. He did not fit into their mould or play their religious games.

People are Valuable to Jesus

With such amazing miracles, you might think that Jesus was popular. Not with the religious leaders!

Not the Right Time

A Very Different Hope
