Gilbert House Fellowship #71: Matthew 9, 11; Luke 11

JESUS SAVED his harshest criticism for the self-appointed gatekeepers of the faith, the scribes (lawyers) and Pharisees who became stumbling blocks between the people and God. He also had some very blunt comments about the people of his home town, Capernaum, and nearby Chorazim, saying it would be better at the judgment for the people of Nineveh, Tyre, Sidon, Sodom, and Gomorrah because they, although undeniably wicked, had never witnessed the miracles worked by Christ.

Today we discuss Jesus’ warnings to the priests and lawyers, his instructions to the disciples for prayer, and more miracles that should have been enough for the religious authorities to recognize the Messiah.
