Text for discussion: Matthew 11.
Have you ever tried to find something that completely eluded you? God's chosen Messiah, born into history as a child was protected from the evil one until the appointed time. Jesus, the Christ, was hidden in history, but God did not live us without signposts to find Him. Those signposts are still evident today in the Holy Scriptures.

Matthew 10.
While no one can finish the race for you, Christ did pay the price for all our sins, taking up His cross that we might have life.
Jesus tells us that we may also have to take up the cross in this life . . .
This life's rewards are temporary, but we have an imperishable reward in Christ . . . .

Matthew 9.
All seems "normal" in the Fallen world, but we often overlook the sustenance of God-in life, breath, and in caring for all our needs. Jesus cares for another need-our very souls, bringing with Him the healing of soul only He can give.

Matthew 8.
In Matthew 8, Jesus comes down from the sermon on the mount to heal lepers, those with fevers, exorcise the demon possessed, and even demonstrates control over nature . . . .
Just who is He? He is more than a friend, more than a good teacher . . . . He has come to bring light to the creation. How?

Chapter for discussion: Matthew 7.
Go to the beach, to the edge of the water, and the waves coming in will pull the sand out from under your bare feet. You will feel yourself sinking down.
Does that feel like life itself? That the foundation is being pulled out from beneath you?
Jesus gives us sure answers for building on a foundation of powerful rock . . . .

Discussion on Matthew 5
The Law of God is like a wall of rock and you are up against it. It is absolute, unbudging. Where do you turn when you fail to keep it, when you can't keep it? Do you minimize it? Jesus says that not one iota of the Law shall pass away . . . .
What is the answer to a holy law and your lack of holiness?
The hymn: Holy, Holy, Holy
