Jesus Greater > Than Jonah

Jesus Greater > Than Jonah

JESUS GREATER > THAN JONAH

Matthew 12:38-41

#1 OUR UNTOUCHABLE TEACHER vv. 38-41

Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Matthew 23:13 (NIV)

#2 THE GREAT GOSPEL v. 40

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. 1 Peter 2:24-25 (NIV)

#3 THE POWER OF REPENTANCE v. 41a

Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. Hebrews 9:27-28 (NIV)

#4 JESUS IS GREATER v.41b

Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 (NIV)

“There are two days in my calendar: This day and that Day.”
Martin Luther
