6 07 2008Pastor Rob Davis: Matt. 12:22-32
In Matthew 12:22-32 Jesus’ healing of a demon-possessed man prompts three different responses.
- The crowd responds to the healing with amazement (vv. 22, 23).
- The Pharisees respond to the crowd with an attack (v. 24).
- The Messiah responds to the Pharisees with a sermon.
- His introduction: Your premise is absurd.
- Because it violates common sense (v. 25).
- Because it is not how Satan operates (v. 26).
- Because by it you stand judged (v. 27).
- His main point: I am Messiah and My kingdom has come upon you with power (vv. 28, 29).
- His conclusion: Your continued rejection of Me will result in your eternal judgment. (vv. 30-32).
