Text: Matthew 7:1-12
This chapter is the continuation of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus continues to teach on several things like not judging others (v.1) because this could mean failure to forgive them (6:14). However, one can gently and humbly rebuke as one admits one’s own fault.
Jesus goes ahead and teaches that; do not give dogs what is holy, and do not
throw your pearls before pigs (v.6). Here Jesus meant that His disciples were not to preach the gospel to those who would not value it, who would treat it with contempt. In your ministry of evangelism do not waste time on mockers of the gospel, for they do not value it.
Meditate on verse 7. How are you going to respond to it?
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, help many to ask, seek and knock so that
they will find You. Amen.
