Matthew 9:14 - 9:15
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this lecture, Steve Gregg explores Matthew 9:14-15, where Jesus is seen addressing the disciples of John the Baptist. Gregg notes the tendency within human nature to be critical and judgmental of others who do not follow the same religious calling; however, he emphasizes that self-denial does not necessarily constitute a relationship with God. Jesus himself welcomed sinners, and while his disciples were required to fast, he did not necessarily offer an easy road to life. Gregg also touches on the concept of mourning and how Jesus reassured his disciples that he would never leave or forsake them.
