Bible
Study – Matthew 11:2-11
Q1 Why
was John in prison?
Q2 Why
was the question John sent to Jesus a reasonable one?
Q3 Why did Jesus reply by quoting Isaiah
35? Do you think his answer would have satisfied John?
Q4 What did Jesus mean in verse 6 when he
said “Blessed are those who do not find me an obstacle to faith”? How might
Jesus be an obstacle to faith for people today?
Q5 Why did Jesus go on to question the
crowds about their motives for going out to meet John in the wilderness? Why
were they now with Jesus?
Q6 What is a “prophet” in the bible? Why
did Jesus consider John a prophet and more than a prophet? Would we be right to
describe anybody alive today as a prophet? If so, what expectations might we
have about such a person?
Q7 Why did Jesus quote Malachi 3:1 and
apply it to John? Was he right?
Q8 How do you understand verse 11? Who is
the least in the kingdom of Heaven?
Q9 Which character in the reading do you
most identify with? Might you have answered differently at a different time in
your life?
Q10 In what ways does the reading inspire
you or fill you with hope?
