We get Matthew's view of John the Baptist's doubts. Do you think you might have some doubts if you were doing what you thought your mission was and you ended up in jail?
Jesus teaches his disciples about the kingdom and points out that John the Baptist took on Elijah's prophetic role.....it is a confrontation of sin and pointing to God....Jesus point out that the Pharisees are hypocrites and criticize with no consistency...they have no wisdom.
Jesus promises rest for the soul. You can't take your burden on your own....the yoke that Jesus mentions is one that is always worn by two.....Jesus frees people from burdens if we let him. Is there anything that you are trying to carry on your own?
Look what comes up from the depths of the sea.
