Matthew 11:11-15:
Jesus gives a stern warning to those who reject John the Baptist. John is the fulfillment of prophets of old and the one who prepares the way for the greatest Prophet. Their opposition to the preaching of John and Jesus is opposition to the kingdom.
It is difficult to understand such blatant rejection. Sadly, things have not changed. There are and will always be those who reject you and reject those who believe in you. I want to be, like John, one who never gives up leading people to you and the kingdom.
