Chapter 10 brings us to the end of the first section of [[Matthew]]. In this chapter [[Jesus]] sends His ambassadors to perform miracles and carry the message of the Kingdom. We must keep in mind that wherever signs are given, we are dealing with the [[Jews]] and the message of the Kingdom, for the [[Jews]] require a sign (I Corinthians 1:22).
If you apply this entire chapter to the twelve disciples, you will be confused, for in verses 15-23 [[Jesus]] spans the ages of time and deals with the message of the Kingdom during the Tribulation Period. This message gives instruction to the disciples in the past (verses 1-15); the disciples of the future Tribulation Period (verses 16-23); and the disciples in service today (verses 24-42). The closing verses indicate the importance of the servant of Christ. He is the representative of Christ. To reject this servant is to reject Christ, as [[Paul]] states in II Corinthians 5:20.

In chapter 11 we reach a turning point in the ministry of Christ, as presented by [[Matthew]]. The revelation of the King is now complete (chapters 1-10). Now, rebellion against the King begins to appear (chapters 11-13). In this section the [[Jews]] rebel against every revelation Christ gave of Himself.

There are several practical points to be learned from chapter 11: (1) Even the greatest men of [[God]] get discouraged and have times when their [[faith]] seems to falter. [[John]] the Baptist was a great servant of [[God]], but he was still a man. Compare the attitude of [[Paul]] when he was in prison (see Philippians 1). (2) Our task is to give the [[Word]] of [[God]] to the people, and not cater to their childish whims. Many times the church tries to please the people of the world, and thus displeases [[God]]. To entertain men is [[sin]], but to warn them of [[hell]] is to obey [[God]]'s Word. (3) Sodom, with all its filth, will have an easier time at the [[judgment]] than Capernaum will, with all its religion! The Son of [[God]] lived in their midst, yet they rejected Him. The greater the light, the greater the [[judgment]]! Privilege brings responsibility, and responsibility always means accountability.

MEMORY VERSE FOR TODAY: Man now can be: Redeemed.
Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his [[grace]].
