Are You With or Against Jesus?

Passage: Matthew 12:21-50

As we've seen in our recent messages from Matthew's gospel, Jesus has shown himself, gentle and lowly, eager to bring true rest and restoration to any and all who come to him. But one thing he is clearly not is a negotiator or compromiser when it comes to those who oppose him. In fact, he says when it comes to our view of him and his claims, there is no middle ground, there are no fence sitters, you can't remain neutral. As the conflict with the religious leaders continues to heat up, Jesus is very clear, you are either with him, or against him. And he doesn't leave us guessing as to how we can know. Jesus doesn't come just to help us do some spiritual housecleaning and straightening up in our lives. He comes to occupy the house and take control of the household. So the question he poses not to just to the Pharisees, but to us is, "Are you with me, or against me? Join us Sunday as we look at what Jesus says about how you know whose side you're on when it comes to him.
