'You did not dance'
by Andrew Fox

Matthew 11:1-26

1. What was happening when Jesus spoke to the people

• Jesus going about His work
• v1 - working disciples
• v2-6 - doubting disciples
• v7-10 - picky people

2. What did Jesus actually say? (vv16-19)

• Intolerance towards John the Baptist
• They didn't like Jesus either...
• v19b - '...but wisdom is justified by her children'

3. What can I learn from this if I'm not yet a Christian?

• The big problem: no matter who came into their lives to tell them 'hard truths' they would not listen.
• 'Don't tell me what to do!'
• We aren't living in Jesus time...but we still have His messengers. Some are like John and some like Jesus.
• Excuses...

4. What can I learn from this as a Christian?

• Look in the mirror...
