Scripture: Matthew 12:33-37

We are proverbially told that “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Yet, if we are honest with ourselves we know that this is not true. Words can hurt and do have consequences. In Matthew 12 Jesus reminds us that our words matter and can have eternal consequences.

Scripture: Matthew 12:22-32

When it comes to Jesus we often think that there is neutral ground, that we can put off making a decision concerning Him. The problem is that in Matthew 12 Jesus does not allow this. He declares, “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.” Therefore, you must choose.

Scripture: Matthew 12:15-21

 

In the first century many of the Jewish leaders misunderstood Jesus, and thus rejected him as Messiah. If we are not careful, we also can misunderstand Jesus. The result being that we worship a Jesus of our own creation, rather than as revealed in God’s Word. In Matthew 12 Jesus is revealed as God’s prophesied chosen Servant who is both humble and gentle, but also the saving King.
