Good morning, and welcome to our time of worship together! Jesus has prepared and sent out his disciples for their first foray into kingdom ministry. They go with his power and his message, but they have been warned that they will also share in his rejection. As they go, Jesus will continue with his own mission of teaching and preaching in the cities of Galilee. As we come to Matthew chapter 11, Jesus is approached by some disciples of John the Baptist who bring a most important question. Is Jesus really the long-awaited messiah, or should they be looking for someone else? It’s important that we ask and answer the same question. Is Jesus who the prophets promised and predicted? How would the disciples of John know? How will we know? As we work through God’s word together, we would love to know how we can be praying for you and ministering to you during this time.
Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.
Matthew 11:4-6
