Matthew 11 journal
I see that the spirit of rebellion will cause me to make excuses instead of finding reasons to worship Jesus. The generation said that John was a demon because he did not eat and drink, but then stated that Jesus was a drunkard and a glutton because he ate and drank (verse 18). The spirit of rebellion always goes against the opposite of the spirit of submission and repentance.
Jesus condemns several cities of not repenting even after witnessing incredible miracles. I remember standing on the mountainside of Capernaum and Chorazin. It was empty. 700 years after Jesus prophesied that these cities would go down to the depths, an earthquake destroyed these towns and they were never rebuilt. This is only one of so many prophesies that the bible demonstrates as being fulfilled.
Finally, Jesus praises God for hiding spiritual things from the wise and learned. He will reveal things to those he chooses. What would it take for Jesus to chose me today for a revelation? My thought is repentance. What is the result? Rest and peace. It’s interesting that this morning I woke up at about 4:00 am and couldn’t go back to sleep. My prayer, show me where I need to repent and change what I'm doing. Revelation please :)
