The Gospel of Matthew, Day 27
Meditation and Memory Verse:
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 NIV

Matthew 11:1-6 (NIV)
JESUS AND JOHN THE BAPTIST

1 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee. 2 When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples to ask him, “Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?” 4 Jesus replied, “Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me.”

Discussion: Why didn’t Jesus answer John with a simple “yes” or “no”?
