I am using the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.

Today, I am reading and commenting on Matthew 10-12

Jesus makes many points in this passage which we need to give deep thought.  I am only going to touch on a few of them.  The first one I am going to look at is the contrast between the approach Jesus and John the Baptist took to preaching their message.  John the Baptist took an austere, ascetic approach.  He preached in the desert and expected people to come to him.  Jesus, on the other hand, went to where people were.  He joined them at their feasts and at their parties.  He ate and drank with them.  Despite their different styles, they both preached much the same message; repent of your sins and do what is good.  They also respected each other.  Jesus spoke highly of John, and John sent his disciples to Jesus.
