‘We Need To Learn To Respond To God.’
Matthew 12:41-42.
a) This is the Teaching of Jesus Christ.
b) He speaks about the men of Nineveh who repented of their sin when Jonah confronted them with God’s Message.
c) Many people in this generation have rejected God’s Message and they are accountable to God for doing that.
d) The Gentile Queen of the South came to hear Solomon’s Wisdom.
e) Now Jesus Christ is here – He is alive. He is the Judge of all people. How do we respond to Him?

‘Be Like Caleb.’
Numbers 14:22-24.
a) Numbers 14:22. The people saw the miraculous things that God did in Egypt. They experienced much Grace. They saw also what God did for them in the desert.
b) Numbers 14:22. But:-
1- They did not obey God.
2- They put God to the test many times.
3- They will not see the land God Promised to them.
c) Numbers 14:23. Even though God Promised with an oath to give the land to His People – they did not enter in because they treated Him with contempt.
d) Numbers 14:24. Caleb was different – he had the Holy Spirit with him. He followed the Lord with his whole heart. Caleb and his descendants will enter and receive the Promised land.
(Through this Second one I am challenged to Be Like Caleb)

Chris.
It is a very foolish thing to do when we put God to the test. It really means that although we may know God’s way and what He wants us to do, we do not do it but we compromise and go our own way.
