Overview

Western civilization is filled with people just like John the Baptist. They were raised up into a general supportiveness for Jesus. But now that they’ve grown, now that they’ve seen life and had a few hard knocks, they start to question. They say, “How do we know you’re really the One you say you are?” In Matthew 11, we have Jesus’ answer.

When we get to verse 27, we have perhaps the most astounding claim any human being has ever made about his own greatness. But Jesus does not ever just say, “Here’s who I am.” Jesus doesn’t just tell you who he is. He tells us how to use the greatness of his claims on ourselves.

Like a good surgeon, Jesus gives you two things to do. He tells you to take this truth and 1) let it knock you out of the deadly spiritual middle, and 2) use it to make yourself a little child spiritually.
