“Come unto me…”

Jesus offers an invitation for men to join Him. But first he issues a stern warning and reprimand to the unrepentant.

Matthew 11:20-30

• Tyre and Sidon were wicked cites from the Old Testament period. But not worse than Chorazin and Bethsaida of Jesus’ day (v. 21-22).
• Sodom was a wicked city from the Old Testament period. But not worse than Capernaum of Jesus’ day (v. 23-24).
• With the greater testimony of Jesus’ authority came greater responsibility to follow Him.
• Greater testimony and greater responsibility imply greater judgment for those who reject Christ.
• Listen as Jesus thanks His Father for hiding some things from some people and revealing those things to others (v. 25-27).
• Jesus acknowledges that this is good (v. 26).
• Jesus advances that only He can reveal God to men (v. 27).
• The invitation (v. 28-30)
  • Come
  • to Jesus
  • all who toil incessantly
  • receive rest for your souls
  • rest in the employ of Jesus
  • whose character is meek and lowly
  • whose management style is easy
  • whose expectancy is light
