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 3 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”?
