Our study continues in Mat.20:17. Jesus is on

the road to Jerusalem along with His disciples.

He takes this opportunity to tell the disciples once again that He would be crucified and raised on the third day and who would be doing this to Him. Our Lord knew what was going to happen to Him. He was willing to fulfill what was written about Him, the Messiah, in the Scriptures.

Dr. Mitchell will be teaching concerning the question of rewards.

We begin in Matt.19:27.

Peter asks Jesus what the disciples would gain by following Jesus. What would they get?

Jesus then speaks with them about their future millenium responsibilities and privileges with the 12 tribes of the nation of Israel. This would be their reward then for following Him now.

In this lesson presented by the Unchanging Word

Bible Broadcast, we continue with Jesus' dealing

with the good moral man who sought entrance into

eternal life. His problem was with God. The law only shows one how much one falls short of God's

revealed and written standard.

But, in these last days, God has spoken to us in His Son,

Jesus Christ who lived out God's standards perfectly and sinlessly.

Christ died, shedding His blood on the cross

to vindicate God's righteousness.

Now God can freely save anyone who trusts in His resurrected Son.

In Matthew 19, we begin this lesson with verse 13.

Two topics are dealt with in this study.

The first Jesus' continuing concern for children.

He prayed from them.

The second topic is Jesus' conversation with a

man wanting to know what good deed

he could do to enter into eternal life.

Join the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast with

Dr. John G. Mitchell in Mat.19:1-12.

In this section, Jesus answers questions from the

Pharisees. The first is "Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?"

Here, in verses 4-6, Jesus shows us two things.

First of all He answers these questions from the Scriptures in what God literally said.

In doing so, Jesus quotes both chapter 1 and 2 of Genesis giving us His inspired interpretation and conclusion.

The second question is,"Why did Moses command one to give a certificate of divorce and to send her away?"

Jesus gives the answer. He says it's not an command but a concession because of the hardness of the heart.

Dr. Mitchell, also points our hearts and minds to

what the Word of God says concerning these questions.

Jesus deals with His disciples with respect to children, and church discipline in Matthew 18 verses 10-20.

Dr. Mitchell discusses the biblical basis for

babies going to heaven. He cites 2Sam.12:22 concerning King David's baby that died.

Along with Dr. Mitchell, we too thank you for your precious letters, prayer requests and support for the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.

We are in Matthew 18, verse 21.

Having dealt with a sinning brother in the assembly, Peter now asks Jesus, "How often shall my

brother sin against me and I forgive him."

Jesus gives Peter the answer to his question.

Jesus then gives an illustration of mercy

and forgiveness.

Jesus tells hIs disciples once again of hIs approaching death and reurrection.

Jesus displays His omniscience to Peter with a coin in the mouth of a fish.

Jesus teaches about young ones, humility, and warns about causing stumbling.

Dr. Mitchell show us the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus and the disciples discuss the coming of Elijah.

Jesus casts out a demon and teaches about faith.

Dr. Mitchell points us to the Lord Jesus in whom we

can trust.

Dr. Mitchell gives us Peter's response to what

he was seeing and hearing and asks, "How did Peter

know these men were Moses and Elijah?

As a cloud comes over the disciples, a voice

speaks out of the cloud from heaven to Jesus saying

"This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased".

Then, God the Father, speaking to the disciples

says, "You Listen to Him."

Jesus is who God wants us to listen to.

Do you do this?

Is your Bible open as we read His Word?

As you listen, He will speak to you.
