Reflections Of Jesus On Appealing To His
Mighty Works
45. Matt 11:20-30
20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his
mighty works were done, because they repented not: 21 Woe
unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the
mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in
Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in
sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say unto you, It shall be more
tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for
you. 23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto
heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty
works, which have been done in thee, had been done in
Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say
unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of
Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O
Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid
these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed
them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good
in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man
knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man
the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will
reveal him. 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon
you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and
ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light.
