Presentation Transcript

  1. Important Points • Lessons from the fig tree (20-26) • Have faith! Why? • God can remove any obstacle that obstructs fruit • Pray, believe, forgive

  2. Important Points • Jesus has all authority (27-33) • What gives you the right?! • Pharisee’s answer is dictated by situation • We can only see large truths if we open our eyes to the smaller ones

  3. Important Points • Parable of the Tenants (1-12) • Emphasizes two main points: • The patience of God • Hard hearts of the Jews • Psalm 118 - A thanksgiving Psalm • Reaction of the Pharisees proves parable!

  4. Important Points • Question Trap One • The Trap • Offend the Jews by looking pro-Roman • Offend the Romans by appearing rebellious • Jesus’ answer: respecting the emperor’s authority does not violate respecting God’s authority

  5. Important Points • Question Trap Two • The Trap: how can one woman and seven men be married in heaven? • Jesus’ answer: • You don’t know the Bible or God’s power! • No marriage in the afterlife • Ex. 3.6 proves the resurrection

  6. Important Points • Question: how do you prove the resurrection from Ex. 3.6? • “The God of...” = savior, helper, redeemer, protector • “Abraham, Isaac, Jacob” = covenant promises! • God’s help and protection would mean very little if they were not protected from death • Why showcase your power to redeem and protect by referencing dead people? • The patriarchs understood that God’s promises were more than physical (Hebrews 11.8-10)

  7. Important Points • The Greatest Command • Quotation from Duet. 6.4-5 and Lev. 19.18 • The “greatest” commandments encompass them all • God desires complete devotion, not merely fried animals

  8. Important Points • Whose Son is the Christ? • Quotation from Psalm 110 • Point not that the Messiah is a descendant of David • Question: what does it mean for the messiah to be the “Lord” of David?

  9. Important Points • Scribes vs. Widow • Scribes seek honor, attention, yet care nothing for the helpless • Widow displays humility and wholehearted devotion by giving all
