Lesson 13

4. Sermon on the Mount Matthew 5:1-12
review
Great multitudes were following Jesus
from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond Jordan
‘Beatitude’ is from a Latin word meaning blessed or happy
– The beatitudes describe the character that each disciple of the Lord should have. These are very different from the world’s view of happiness.

8. Lesson 14
Matthew 8:5-13, 11:2-30
Luke 7:1-35

9. Centurion’s Servant Matthew 5:8-13; Luke 7:1-10
Jesus goes to Capernaum
A Roman Centurion has a servant who is deathly ill – ready to die
‘dreadfully tormented’
Luke—Jewish elders approached Jesus
He wants Jesus to heal his servant
The Jews count him worthy
Loves our country
Has built us a synagogue

10. Centurion’s Servant Matthew 5:8-13; Luke 7:1-10
Authority of the Centurion
Biblical centurions
At the cross – Mark 15:39
Cornelius – Acts 10
On ship with Paul – Acts 22:35-26; 27:43
Parallel to Jesus
Just speak the word and he will be healed

11. Centurion’s Servant Matthew 5:8-13; Luke 7:1-10
Jesus is impressed with the Centurion
He said He has not seen this much faith in Israel
Much less by this Roman???
Matthew 8:13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour.

13. Death at Nain Luke 7:11-17
Jesus, His disciples, and a large multitude went toward Nain
As they came to the city they met a large crowd going to bury a widow’s only son
Jesus stops the procession and raises the son from the dead
Immediately the dead sat up and spoke
Fame of this spread all around the region
Throughout Judea (He is in Galilee)

14. John, the Baptist Matthew 11:2-15; Luke 7:18-30
Remember John is in prison because he rebuked Herod Antipas for having his brother’s wife
The prison is at Machaerus
At the very southern end of Perea, east of the Dead Sea

17. John, the Baptist Matthew 11:2-15; Luke 7:18-30
John is in prison at Machaerus
At the very southern end of Perea, east of the Dead Sea
John heard about the works of Christ
John wanted to know—
“Are you the one who comes, or do we look for another?”
Why is John asking?
Remember he has testified who Christ was

18. John, the Baptist Matthew 11:2-15; Luke 7:18-30
John (shut up in prison) cannot see the works of Jesus whom he came to announce
The One he baptized and saw the dove descend
Frustrating (I’m sure)
John sent two disciples to Jesus seeking an answer

19. John, the Baptist Matthew 11:2-15; Luke 7:18-30
Jesus said to tell John what they had seen—
Blind can see
Lame can walk
Lepers are cleansed
Deaf can hear
Dead are raised
Poor have the gospel preached

20. John, the Baptist Matthew 11:2-15; Luke 7:18-30
Jesus then makes a point about John and his work
Luke 7:28 “For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
John was not in the kingdom
The kingdom had not yet arrived

21. John, the Baptist Matthew 11:2-15; Luke 7:18-30
Many of the prophets has told of the coming of the Messiah
Luke 10:23 Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see;
24 “for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.”

22. Sidon
Tyre
Chorazin
Bethsaida

23. Chorazin http://www.seetheholyland.net/chorazin/
Chorazin was an ancient village in northern Galilee, two and a half miles from Capernaum on a hill above the northern shore of the Sea of Galilee.Wikipedia 
Chorazin

24. Woes on cities of Galilee Matthew 11:16-24; Luke 7:31-35
Jesus had spent months teaching in Galilee
So many rejected Him and did not repent
This infers that the purpose of his mighty works was to motivate repentance
The Lord does not rebuke what is impossible

25. Woes on cities of Galilee Matthew 11:16-24; Luke 7:31-35
Woe to you Chorazin!
Woe to you Bethsaida!
If mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented
Jezebel with her idol worship was from Sidon
Non-Jewish cities not supposed to know of Christ

26. Capernaum
Sodom

27. Woes on cities of Galilee Matthew 11:16-24; Luke 7:31-35
Woe to you Capernaum!
More tolerable for Sodom in day of judgement than for you
“more tolerable” for one than the other?
(teaching ‘degrees of punishment in hell?’)
Again, speaks of His relationship to the Father

28. Christ’s Invitation Matthew 11:25-30
Matthew 11:28 “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 “For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

29. Christ’s Invitation Matthew 11:25-30
Compare Jesus offering rest, yet a yoke which is commonly used for work??
Rest from the burden of sin
Sin is unyielding
His ‘yoke’ (work) is easy when compared to the destructive work of sin

30. Christ’s Invitation Matthew 11:25-30
something for us…
Come learn of Me
It is essential that we be diligent to maintain our learning. Many distractions will be thrown our way and into our path, but if we truly hunger and thirst for righteousness (Matthew 5:6), we will one day receive our rest.
hardworking, meticulous, conscientious, thorough, attentive
