While He would like all to come to repentance, and accept Him as Savior and Lord, not everyone will. Jesus therefore handles different kinds of people differently.
Kingdom work wasn't going to be easy. It would have its rewards obviously, but it would also have many disappointments and heartaches. Jesus was not only teaching this to His disciples, but to the multitudes who came with their own misconceptions about the kingdom.
Sunday sermons from Chewelah Evangelical Free Church
But Jesus knew the disciples had reached a point in their training for kingdom leadership where they needed a realistic picture of the successes, and the failures, they would experience in ministry. It was time for Jesus to prepare them for the ups and downs they would have to go through.
The Pharisees did not want to believe what was obviously true, but they're not the only ones who were intentionally blind.
The unpardonable sin. What is it... and have you committed it?
In our text for today we see three approaches to the Sabbath. And I believe we can learn something from the way the disciples, the Pharisees, and the Servant approached the holy day.
Jesus looks at people carrying these impossible loads and says: Come to me.

What did Jesus bring into your life?
A disciple has no need to fear ridicule, no need to fear death, and no need to fear judgment.

We see Jesus instructing the disciples, before sending them out on a short-term mission, but with a long-term commitment.
Jesus chose not to minister all by Himself while He was here, or even after leaving. He chose to share His ministry with others, and with us.
Jesus did these things publicly, for all to see, or at least hear about, so they would know who He was. And some did see, while others chose not to see.
Jesus was making available a joyous, saving relationship with the Son of God, who not only had power over disease, nature, evil, and sin... but death itself.

This morning Matthew gives us a glimpse of Jesus' power over sin itself. And that power, power to even forgive sin, is verified in an undeniable way.

Matthew proceeds to illustrate Jesus' power over nature... and evil.
Jesus has power, and in the next two chapters, Matthew demonstrates that power.

The event we celebrate this morning took place in a garden, probably less than a hundred feet from where Jesus was crucified.
As we studied Matthew 7:1-6, we discovered that we are, in fact, instructed to judge. Not to pass judgment on someone's eternal destiny, not to condemn anyone, but to make moral judgments regarding the rightness or wrongness of behavior. Now, to do this correctly, we must use the right standard.

“Judge not, that ye be not judged.” How many times have you had that biblical quote thrown back in your face? It merely introduces Christ's teaching on judgment... if we read further, we discover that He goes on to make it clear that we are in fact supposed to judge.
Anxiety, for a child of God, is unnecessary, it's unworthy, and it's unfruitful.
You can't keep your eyes focused on two things at the same time. And you can't have two masters. Jesus makes this clear when He speaks of two treasures, two visions, and two masters in the Sermon on the Mount.
Prayer is fundamental to a relationship with God... it can be very simple... or it can be very complex.

In the 5th chapter of Matthew, Jesus says, “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works.” Then in the 6th chapter, He says, “Beware of practicing your righteousness before men.” Which is it? Are we to let men see our good works, our righteousness, or not?
