Meeting the Real Jesus – Timothy Keller [Sermon]

Summary

In this sermon on Matthew 11, Jesus responds to John the Baptist's doubts by describing miraculous signs of his ministry, including healing the blind, lame, and deaf, and raising the dead. The passage highlights John the Baptist as a significant prophetic figure, describing him as the messenger who prepares the way for Jesus, yet emphasizing that even the least in God's Kingdom is greater than John. The key message is about avoiding spiritual offense and maintaining faith, with Jesus challenging listeners to not be scandalized or reject him despite expectations, but instead recognize and accept his transformative mission.
