Holy Violence May 15th, 1859 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force," Matthew 11:12 . When John the Baptist preached in the wilderness of Judea, the throng of people who pressed around him became extremely violent to get near enough to hear his voice. Often when our Saviour preached did the like scene occur. We find that the multitudes were immense beyond all precedent. He seemed... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Matthew 11:5
Preaching for the Poor January 25, 1857 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "The poor have the gospel preached to them." Matthew 11:5 . John, the forerunner of Christ, had some followers who continued with him after Christ had come in the flesh, and openly manifested himself among the people. These disciples were in doubt as to whether Jesus was the Messiah or no. I believe that John himself had no doubt whatever upon the matter, for he had received positive revelations, and had given substantial... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:1-30
Chapter 11Now it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of these commandments, he departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities ( Matthew 11:1 ).So He sent them out in front of them, and then He departed and was following up now, and coming into the cities. They were sort of the advance men for Him to go out in advance.Now when John had heard in prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples, and he said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?... read more

Matthew 11:3 . Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another. Brevity here is connected with obscurity. John could not doubt, after seeing the glory, and hearing the voice from heaven. The main object seems to be, to transfer his disciples to the pastoral care of Christ, as well as to obtain fresh support of faith in the time of trouble. Matthew 11:4 . Go and show John again those things which ye do hear and see. Unfold to him the accomplishment of all the glorious works... read more

Matthew 11:1-5Art Thou He that should come? John’s inquiryI. The inquiry made by the baptist. It was suggested by the incredulous state of his disciples.(1) Because if Jesus was Messiah He had not exerted His power for the deliverance of John from prison;(2) Because they observed that our Saviour had as yet made no public claim to the title; and(3) Because the manner of our Saviour’s life and conversation had less appearance of sanctity than the life of their master.II. The reply made by the... read more

Matthew 11:5And the poor have the gospel preached to them.The right of the poorI. Let us state the sentiment of the text. We understand it to intend the poor in condition, and not the poor in spirit.1. The gospel is not preached to the poor in order to mix itself with the questions of civil distinctions.2. It is not that the gospel regards social distinctions as chiefly important.3. It is not that the gospel takes the same view of these respective classifications which we are accustomed to... read more

Matthew 11:6And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me. The prejudices against Christianity consideredI. Those prejudices and objections which the world had against the saviour and his religion at their first appearance; also to inquire into those which men at this day insist upon; and to show the unreasonableness of them.1. That Christianity was a great innovation, and contrary to the received institutions of the world.2. They objected against the plainness and simplicity of the... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Matthew 11:12
suffereth violence It has been much disputed whether the "violence" here is external, as against the kingdom in the persons of John the Baptist and Jesus; or that, considering the opposition of the scribes and Pharisees, only the violently resolute would press into it. Both things are true. The King and His herald suffered violence, and this is the primary and greater meaning, but also, some were resolutely becoming disciples. CF Luke 16:16. read more
