Introduction

Israel’s leaders’ response to the gospel in Matthew 11-12:

1. Refused to accept the testimony about Christ
2. John the Baptist
3. The Father (at Jesus’ baptism)
4. The OT prophesies
5. Christ Himself
6. The Holy Spirit’s authenticating miracles

2. Rejected Jesus Christ as the Messiah!3. Committed the unpardonable sin – Matt 12:31-32

Defined: “The national rejection by Israel of the Messiah, while he was present on earth, on the basis of His being demon possessed.”

These events set the stage for a marked transition in Jesus’ ministry:

1. He taught using parables – explaining their meaning only to the disciples
2. Why did Jesus teach in parables?
3. To reveal the mysteries of the kingdom
4. To conceal the mysteries of the kingdom
5. To appeal through fulfilled prophecy and divine judgment
