Israel's Repudiation of Jesus

Video for Week 3, March 27-April 2

Israel’s Repudiation of Jesus
Matthew 11:2-16:12






We witness people starting to question Jesus and his role more fervently this week.  I wonder when you may have had a time in your life when you questioned God, when you questioned Jesus?  Where did you find God/Jesus in this time?

We hear of people, especially the Pharisees, questioning Jesus and wanting him to be put down, to be arrested and tried.  Throughout these struggles and questions, Jesus remains true to who he is and what he has come to do.  What do you think it was like to be one of the disciples in the midst of this back and forth?  What was it like to be in the midst of this struggle?

Jesus strives to make his word and works clear to those around him.  Is there a place of clarity for you in this week’s readings?  In the Gospel of Matthew?
