Discuss Matthew 11 Page 9

Who is the Son of Man in verse 19?

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (work /job ,football, basket ball, education, vacation, night life /clubs, parties, social media, nascar racing, television, slothfulness /lazy, ..., ..., is USA idols we use instead of verse 28; "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest".

Christians are reluctant to take a stand for the Gospel. Unlike people of religions! We have a Relationship with our God. When the Gospel is trodden down, the Violent, Christians Speaks out on behalf on God. We will not kill anyone who disagree with the God or His Holy Scriptures. We should not sit idly by and allow the enemies of God to deface or mocked the Scriptures. Stand up for Righteousness.

Ok spoiler alert John the baptist is Elijah Jesus said it look at Matthew 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. so you see Elijah did die as John his head was chopped off. that said at the mount Moses and Elijah were there and witnessed God the Father say matt 17:5 This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.(The two witneses)

7:1- "Come thou" reminds me of the Precious Invitation Of Our LORD and Saviour JESUS CHRIST, Matthew 11:28-30
28 Come unto ME, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

29 Take MY yoke upon you, and learn of ME; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For MY yoke is easy, and MY burden is light
The Ark is a Picture of CHRIST-SAFETY!

Believe the revelation that God reveals to you by whatever and whomever he reveals it. Trust in Him and lean not to your own understanding. Acknowledge him in the revealing and receive the knowledge and the power in getting to know who and what he is to you. That's how you get your rest cause you learn of and how to use the power of the lord from the revealing to His Glory.

Take my yoke upon you and learn of me for I am meek and lowly in heart and ye shall fine rest unto your soul amen thank you Jesus i love you and i have accepted you as my Savior my Jehova Jireh the Lord my provider Shalom amen

It is contrasting statement by Jesus, when he says take my yoke and you will find rest in your soul, how can a man take a yoke and find rest, but i think what Jesus might have mean was, though my yoke is heavy but the burden is light and hence come unto me i will give you rest, Thats what we are missing these days we abstain Jesus from any involvement in our life, we must realize putting God first in our life, and hence he requires total surrender.

Gazz, The kingdom of Heaven refers to Christ's Kingdom on earth and how the prophets were beaten and slain. The violence is on earth not in Heaven. John the Baptist represents a change from prophesying about Christ to revealing Christ.

I give all my worries concerns and burdens to him - he's right! Blessed is our savior protector Jesus. thank you Jesus

I like your questions CMS. We are supposed to learn about Jesus and from Jesus however and whomever he uses to teach us.

What does it verse 12 mean, there is violence in heaven, the violent take it by force???

Are we supposed to learn ABOUT Jesus
or From Jesus ?

So glad that in verse 5 that Christ said and the poor have the gospel preached to them. We do not have to have worldly riches for Christ to love and save us. Praise our Heavenly Father for saving my soul and set me on the good road that leads Home.

Brothers and sisters in CHRIST,
GOSPEL ACCORDING TO MATHEW 11 :25 TO 30 - read also the commentary of it by Mathew Hendry ( 1710)
- study and understand it - surrender yourself to HIM AND FOLLOW HIM - enjoy the everlasting peace that surpasseth all understanding and the joy of serving him everlastingly.

Does Jesus care? Oh, yes, HE cares for me!

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." This life is hard, and can be so ugly and unfair: we have just in our own little existence toil and sorrow, sickness and death, and grief and remorse and very little happy times to fall back on in our memories. Jesus spent three quarters of His time healing the sick and seeking to relieve the poor of their suffering and miseries. Many selfish and well off, never in trouble, pretending Christians, pontificate about walking in faith and not by sight but have no idea where to start to really feel what its like. But Jesus knows all about us, and all about our troubles in life and He is there for us ALWAYS! But we have our part to call upon Him and really let Him be our Protector. "How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her chickens under the wing and you would not!"

Father i handover everything into your hands as i am heavily laden but your burden is light teach me Lord to wait and bless me with your explosive blessing i know everything is going to be alright my Savior Jehovah Shalom

Mathew 11: 11 is supported by Luke 7:28. It is clear that the covenant of God's kingdom was made a short time after John dies at last supper 33CE. Luke 22:19-30, No one who lives before this will attend heavenly kingdom, the Bible says that they will dwell on Earth with full of happiness under God's heavenly kingdom for which Jesus will be the King with other few chosen kings under him. Psl. 72:8.

Verse 28~Jesus was refreshing to others and we should imitate him.

Lou; we should never confess defeat when it comes to our salvation, and the things that the Scriptures PLAINLY tell us we have in Christ! Saved from our sins, complete deliverance and freedom and all provided for pertaining to life and piety! The enemy is a liar, and goes about seeking whom he may devour with his lies! Don't listen to him! Believe the Word!

Penni, we all fall short, because we judge, our nature is sinful. We must strive to be good, and..we will fail, we will never measure up, but we should try anyway. No action on our part, no changes we make, no sacrifice is worthy..we are fallen. Only through Christ, and not through our own doing are we saved, we will still fail, when we believe, but the power of Jesus (God) is above all things.

Jesus is so clear about our walk in trusting him, but He is also very clear in His stance regarding judgment. We have it easier because Jesus came to the earth in the form of a man to show us how to live. Is it really any wonder that our judgment will be much harder considering we had the truth as a living example. I pray for mercy and grace for our souls. Our world needs to repent.

These things are hid from the wise and prudent but revealed unto babes, the babes are the H.G, simply b/c he said that which is BORN OF THE SPIRIT is SPIRIT, which are the children of the kingdom that are gonna be born in us via his seed, I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, these are the children that understand everything which is the multiplication of christ, th Children of PROMISE

Verse 19: The results of a certain action or procedure will reveal whether it was a wise course.

V11, John the Baptist was less than Jesus. John was shown how to cleanse sin, he had Holy Spirit but not all the powers of God. He was baptized, forgiven of sin. It is possible that he harbored negative thoughts towards people that refused baptism and true Gospel.Thoughts of frustration and weakness of his own power to help sinners is short of perfection. Jesus is perfect, his kingdom is perfect.

"Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he." Does this suggest that we can be the least in our Christianity? or rather, that the littlest one among those born from above...? For with these things the Lord rebukes those most blessed, but who repented not.

The three Abrahamic Religions idea or slogan, is false! Abraham was called out from Ur of the Chaldees, to sever him from the heathen cult of Nimrod worship/Islam. Israel is for now not right with the Lord their God, denying and persecuting the Name of the only begotten Son of God; so God hides from them. Those who are Believers in Jesus Christ, are walking in the Spirit and the faith of Abraham.

There are 3 main religions today that believe in Abraham and the promise of the kingdom of God for their followers. These religions differ in doctrine so they oppose each other. Violent believers in their God of Abraham fight the others trying to take the kingdom of God by force. The door to the kingdom is Jesus, the Son of God. The violent do not believe Jesus is Savior so they are not saved.

You said, "who listens anyway?" Matthew 11:5 "He that has ears to hear, let him hear." You said, "takes too much time, stressful" v.28 "Come unto me, all you that labour (work) and are heavy laden,(weary,tired,overwhelmed,burdened) and I will give you rest. Also, v.29 and 30. If you cannot find inspiration, excitement, hope for the lost, to work for the Lord, "Rest" is in the Sabbath.
