—Luke 7:24-30

In yesterday’s text, Jesus pointed out that rejecting God’s messenger is rejecting the Son and the Father. In today’s text, Jesus confirmed John as God’s messenger. As important as John was, Jesus made it clear that John’s work did not make him greater than others in the Kingdom (v.28). The leaders (Pharisees) and the learned (lawyers) rejected John’s message and, by extension, Jesus for associating with John and the unlearned, common people. Let us not be discouraged when the world does not accept the Gospel message. They are rejecting God, not us.
