Previously, we’ve seen that some people get it. They understand who Jesus is and they receive him in faith. But there are also people who don’t get it, and they react in fear. In Matthew 11, we begin to see that even those who get it often don’t really get it. Leading all the way up to Peter’s confession of faith in Matthew 16, we begin to see that many who claim to get it are still deeply troubled by misunderstanding and doubt. Jesus’ answer to these troubles is to redirect our eyes to the proper signs that he is truly The One.
