Come and See: Encounters With Jesus
“The Offended”
Matthew 9:9-13 (CSB)
Key Truth: All are invited to come and see the truth found in Jesus.
Main Question: How does encountering Jesus change how we respond to offense?
1. Matthew’s calling. (vs. 9)
- Christian discipleship is not simply adherence to a religious system or set of doctrinal beliefs, but a whole-hearted surrender to a living Savior.
2. The Pharisee’s offense. (vs. 10-11)
3. Jesus’ response. (vs. 12-13)
Read Matthew 9:9-13. How do you respond when you are offended? Do you place your offense in light of Jesus’ call to follow Him? Who would you invite to a “Come and See” party?
