What does Jesus think of John the Baptist? "Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist:" Matthew 11:11.
Jesus was a rabbi which in his time they were highly respected. Jesus wants us to follow him and learn from him the things that can give our souls rest. His teaching will liberate us from sin and his burden is light because he helps us with our burdens.
God's word remains true and faithful because he is there all we have to do is come to him and he said he will give you rest for your souls. When all else fails try Jesus it works for me it will work for you.
A Riddle: Proverbs 30:4----Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name,and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? MATTHEW 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father, neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Now I ask you, "Has the Son revealed the Father to you?" One Name given whereby we are saved, not three offices. In Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily and we are COMPLETE in Him. He is the Head of all principality and power. Isaiah 41:10,11 "Ye are my witnesses saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour." WOW! How much plainer can it get? 1 Corinthian 1:24---But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Oh, Praise God for the revelation of Jesus Name!
Jesus's words that invite all to take his yoke upon you and learn of me ,is first to understand that a yoke connects two together.Jesus is on the one hand the only begotten son of God - the son of man - and on the other hand the son of the living God - the Christ - . Of course the side missing in the world of christianity is the son of man.
Wonderful promise of our Lord. Laboring and being heavy laden indicates, the Yoke that the fathers were not able to bear ( Acts 15:10). The law of commandments; "He that doeth those things shall live by them" ( Rom. 10:5). No one was able. We still have people saying that being a christian is not easy, its hard, but Jesus says "My yoke is easy", and our souls can rest if we come His way. Trying hard to live our lives for Him, by will power may be missing the point. Heb. 4:10 says "He that is entered into His rest has also ceased from his own works". The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, has made me free from the law of sin and death ( Rom. 8:2). Maybe we should labour to enter into the rest Jesus has completly provided for us and stop trying to fight the devil ourselves, which dosn't work. Let's believe His promises, receive and actively claim them. We can now tell the devil that we are under the blood and Jesus already defeated him, so he must leave now. Our soul can rest in peace like Jesus promised. It works for me.
It's true!!!!! That's why to all who cannot resist and tired of the burdens they carry in their life trust in God read this bible verse and you will be enlightened, your faith will go stronger, your hope will be much, because you know (when you read this verse) that you have a price in heaven and your effort carrying hardships will be worth it because in heaven God will give you rest.
DAVID, SOME PEOPLE THAT SAY THAT THEY ARE CHRISTIANS THINK OF THE CHRIST'S CHILD ONLY DURING CHRISTMAS, AND JESUS'S DEATH ONLY DURING EASTER. WE MUST NEVER FORGET IT'S ALL TOGETHER. MY PASTOR HAS COMMETED ON THE LOVLY PICTURES OF JESUS HANGING ON THE CROSS. HE SAYS THAT JESUS IS NO LONGER ON THAT CROSS AND IT WAS NOT A LOVLY SIGHT TO BEHOLD WHEN HE WAS ON THE CROSS. THE ONLY LOVLY THING ABOUT THE CROSS WAS THAT JESUS HUNG BETWEEN HEAVEN AND EARTH SO OUR SINS CAN BE FORGIVEN. GALATIANS 6: 14 COLOSSIONS 1 : 20 PAUL SHOWED US WHAT THE CROSS MENT TO HIM.
I felt very sad when I came to Gods understanding and knowledge of this scripture that helped me understand just how long suffering Gods love is.. and how some sadly seem to want to only hurt something so great, remebering that God is love, and love endures all things, hope that never ends.
11:27 Speaks to me. All things are delivered unto me of my father..( All Things..!) The Word that created the heavens and earth was made flesh and dwelt amoung us...as the only begotten of the Father..I and my father are one..I love It.
I started this BIBLE study with MATT.1:1. I have had things brought to mind that I have forgot. Inearlier chapters I have read that we pray to GOD in our prayer closets (in privite) and HE will reward us in public.verses 9-10 shows have HE publicly (held up) John the Baptist. HE does the same for us (if we faint not)

some how some way this verse is connecting with me. regreatfully ive never reed the bible yet I have strong intuitions of it. seems as though everytime I look at the clock it's 11:11. I have a strong feeling that the lord is trying to give me a message.
This open my eyes to see all the things that jesus has put in his words to us in this world.May the word of GOD be a blessing onto all that is in jesus. God help me to do your will forever AMEN.
I am so blessed that Jesus has led me to this site. I am preparing, being led by Mr. Matthew, the teacher of scripture. And of course, Scripture itself.
