Wow to Unrepentant Cities

Matthew 11:20-24

Key verse 11:24

“But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

Read verses 20-21.  What cities did Jesus denounce?  Why did He denounce these cities?  Why should have these cities repented (2Corinthians 6:1-2)?  Why didn’t they repent (John 1:10-11; 1John 2:15)?

Read verses 22:23a.  Think about how terrible the day of God’s judgment on the earth will be.  Why will that day be more bearable Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment?  Why might the people of Capernaum think that they would be lifted up on the day of judgment?  Why did Jesus say they would go down to the depths?

3.  Read verses 23b-24.  What happened to the city of Sodom (Genesis 19:24)?  Why did this happen (Genesis 18:20)?  Why did Jesus say it would be more bearable for Sodom in the day of judgment than for those who was speaking to?
