More to think about

We will finish our stroll through Matthew 3 tomorrow, with some of the following questions, and then dip forward into the fourth chapter.

1. What does it mean to bear a winnowing fan by the threshing floor?
2. What does it mean to be baptized with the Holy Spirit?
3. What does it mean to baptized with fire?
4. What does Jesus' statement in v. 15 tell you about his relationship to John the Baptist and his relationship to the Torah?
5. How does John's reluctance to baptize compare to Peter's reluctance to have his feet washed?
6. Should the people have believed after hearing God's voice from on high? Why didn't they?
7. In the temptation tests of chapter 4, the enemy keeps saying, "If you are the Son of God..." and Jesus dumps the enemy's test by calling on actions
   1. obedient life by God's word
   2. obediently avoiding show and displays of power
   Was Jesus the only person who could fulfill those actions?
8. Who was intended by God to become ruler over the nations? Why was this a test for Jesus?

There is a fair start for tomorrow. We are heading deeper into God's message, the gospel of Matthew.
