    The King and His Kingdom: Matthew 11:16-24 Opposition

    Here's the focus this week from Matthew. One way to read Matthew's Gospel is to see it divided into an introduction (1–4), a conclusion (26–28), and five central narrative-discourse blocks that alternate between Jesus's actions and teachings.  These five sections are often compared to the Torah (the first five books of the Old Testament), framing Jesus as a new, authoritative Moses.   Introduction: Jesus's Genealogy and Birth 1. Chapters 1-7: Genealogy, Birth, and Baptism, ending with Jesus's Sermon on the Mount  2. Chapters 8-10: Ministry and Miracles, ending with Jesus's Missionary Discourse  3. Chapters 11-13: Disputes and Opposition, ending with Jesus's Parables of the Kingdom  4. Chapters 14-18: Miracles and Ministry, ending with Jesus's Discourse on the Church  5. Chapters 19-25: Journey to Jerusalem, ending with Jesus's Olivet Discourse. Conclusion: Chapters 26-28 the events surrounding Jesus's Death, Burial, and Resurrection   We are now entering deep into the opposition Jesus faced from those who received the best of his teaching and miracles. Jesus compared them to what, for a thousand years, Hebrews had considered the worst of the worst--Tyre, Sidon, and Sodom. Yes, Jesus said, those cities will fare better than those who stood before him now on the day of judgment.   Is this simply historical data, stored in the Gospel, or can there be something for us today? Let's find out. Joanne Hagemeyer
