Matthew 11:1…………N/A

11:1 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, (i.e. Having instructed the discipleship on missionary duties.-(Chap. 10) he went on from there (Expresses Jesus’ unwavering commitment to His own ministry. Or because of the disciple’s unwillingness to leave their Master.) to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee. (i.e. Either the cities where the disciples had previously evangelized, thereby confirming their ministry & testimony concerning Him. Or going ahead and preparing those cities for the disciple’s arrival, thereby making ready their evangelizing prospects. Where they were scheduled to go.-L.B.V.)

Continues From Book

Teaches how we are to practice what we preach, that what we’ve instructed others to do we must be willing to do ourselves. ⇒ Jesus practiced what He preached. He gave the disciples a lot of instruction about speaking publicly for Him. Some of the best leaders have always been those who are willing to do what they ask their followers to do. This was also the case with Jesus. There is nothing worse than someone who preaches one thing, but then does another. One of the dangers for those who teach or preach God’s Word, is that they may put a great deal of effort into teaching and preaching; but then not put a big enough effort into practicing what they preach.
