Luke 20:19-47 ESV
In this passage of God’s Word, we see religious leaders attempting to discredit Jesus by stumping Him with questions that are very difficult to answer. Jesus answers these questions, though, and the religious leaders no longer dared to ask Him any questions. These answers that Jesus has teaches us far more than just the answers to the questions that the religious leaders ask. Jesus’ answers teach us that:
1. There is no point in being a hypocritical Christian
Luke 20:45-47, James 1:22-25, Matt. 6:1, 15:7-9
2. There is no way around any of God’s statutes
Luke 2045-47, 16:27, Rom. 7:12, Gal. 2:16, James 2:10
3. Be on guard for yourself and others
Luke 20:45-47, Gal. 6:1-5, James 5:16, Prov. 27:17
