We See Jesus Coming Home
Isaiah 61 is a Prophecy of the Messiah
We See Jesus Being Rejected & We Are Challenged to Answer the Questions
They Listened and Were “Astonished”
They Were Offended (Scandalized) & Unbelieving
How Do We Respond to the Questions?
"Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to him, and such miracles as these performed by his hands."
Nicodemus - John 3:2 “…said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."
We Receive His Sayings
John 12:48-49 "He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.49 "For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak."

“If Anyone…”
John 7:15-17 The Jews then were astonished, saying, "How has this man become learned, having never been educated?" 16 So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.17 "If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.

Seek to do the will of Him
John 5:30 "I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

We See Jesus – Sending People Out
Jesus Didn’t Send the Hometown Folks – He Sent the Twelve
Mark 6:7 He *summoned the twelve and began to send them out in pairs, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits;
The Twelve Probably Asked the Same Questions at Some point
The Twelve Had Good Answers to the Questions – They were “Willing”
The Twelve Were “…anyone (who) is willing to do His will”
The Twelve Had Good Answers to the Questions – They were “Willing”
The Twelve Were “…anyone (who) is willing to do His will”
They were “…children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world”Philippians 2:15
And if we are willing to do His will we will know and will have the confidence we need…
For what? For what He has called us and gifted us to do.
We are planters and waterers and God will give the increase
