Responding Rightly to the Revelation of Jesus

Anyone who has heard of Jesus has made some kind of response to him.  In chapter 11 of Matthew’s Gospel we start to see rising opposition to Jesus as some people are looking for the wrong kind of Messiah and some are blatantly unrepentant.  Jesus offers forgiveness and true rest to those who respond rightly to him – in repentance and faith.  We do well to ask ourselves: “How am I responding to Jesus – for salvation, and daily as I follow him?”
