Jesus gave a series of parables in Matthew 13 that taught that although the Jews were rejecting Jesus as their Messiah, the kingdom would still come and be successful and would be the most valuable thing possible to live for. Nothing will ever overcome the kingdom of Jesus Christ!

The parable of the wheat and the tares shows the strategy of the devil in countering the kingdom of God by bringing in false believers to confuse people or lead them astray. These weeds will one day be rooted out and cast into hell. We need to have the discernment to notice when these are infiltrating our ranks and the love to share the gospel with the lost around us so they don't have to experience hell forever.

Jesus gives a parable of four soils and their responses to the gospel. There are those that reject the gospel, those that believe but pull back at the threat of persecution, those that believe but are distracted by the allurements of the world, and those that believe and go on to bear fruit. Which are you?

The Pharisees were blasphemously criticizing Jesus, and he told them that people will give account at the day of judgment for every idle word that they speak. We will be judged for our words and actions and even thoughts. Are you ready to stand before God and give account?

The Pharisees accused Jesus of healing by the power of the devil. Their rejection of him, knowing who he really was, was deemed by Jesus a sin that would not be forgiven; and the nation of Israel took a downward turn toward destruction on this day.

All the world may revolt against God and his Anointed, but they will eventually bring judgment on them and reign supreme. So the best thing to do is to bow before God and kiss the Son, yielding to his majesty.

When the Pharisees saw Jesus' disciples plucking and eating corn on the Sabbath and then Jesus healing on the Sabbath, they were enraged and began to plot to kill him. But Jesus was not a Sabbath breaker. The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. Jesus declared himself to be Lord of the Sabbath, that as the Creator of the Sabbath he has the authority to correctly interpret what is appropriate on the Sabbath. And it is lawful to do well and to show mercy on the Sabbath.

The task of being a good father and husband is daunting. The direction and well being of the family is directly related to his good leadership. So how does one do it well? There is a great need for the wisdom of God and his blessing.

Jesus points out several differences in Matthew 11 - between himself and John the Baptist, between the opportunities that some have compared to others, and between the life he offers and what the world offers. If unbelievers never respond to their opportunities to receive the gospel, the day of judgment will be even worse for them. Are we using our opportunities?
