Matthew 12:30-42 - Gods, Robots and Human Belief

Matthew 12:33-37 - Sticks and Stones; Life or Death
A cautionary tale from Jesus, about watching "what we eat" so to speak. For what we eat, we metabolize into words, which carry the power and the opportunity at holiness, to acknowledge the human being before you, and to build her up, or tear her down.

Matthew 12:9-14 - Hard Hearts Don't Rest
Jesus calls us to rest from our afflictions and the power of evil by resting in his power and dominion but our hard hearts resist him. We can believe we need his help, and that we need his teachings, but we refuse to believe we need him to free us. Until we see Jesus as our savior king who delivers us we will never rest.

Matthew 11:16-23 - Turn To God, Receive His Kindness
Jesus’ rebuke is a reminder that we don’t turn to God because of his power, we turn to God because of his kindness. And we can’t see his kindness until we see that we are truly unworthy of it.
