(Lesson 5121)(02-08-26) Matthew 11:19
“But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.”
In today’s quote, Jesus rebuked a fickle generation of the Jews that rejected both John’s appearance and His own righteous approach toward sinners. Jesus used the analogy of children's games to demonstrate that unbelief will always find an excuse to deny the truth regardless of how it is presented, knowing that truth is ALWAYS proven right by its results. ~
