Matthew 11:16 - 11:19
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this passage, Jesus addresses the mindset of those who find fault with both John the Baptist and Himself, regardless of their differences in lifestyle. Jesus suggests that these individuals are simply making excuses to avoid responding to God, rather than having a genuine objection to either John or Himself. He cautions that rejecting truth and love may lead to damnation, while accepting it wholeheartedly can lead to salvation. Ultimately, Jesus emphasizes the importance of following Him faithfully, even if it means taking one's own life.
