Holy Week: Tuesday
Read Matthew 22
Many challenges from the studied experts in the Law, the Sadducees and Pharisees, came to Jesus as he taught in the Temple court. One by one the challenges were turned back on them. Silenced, frustrated, and amazed the leaders looked for another way to trap and dispose of Jesus. With each parable and teaching, Jesus further provoked his enemies to action. Can you imagine being a recognized leader and expert on the Law and being told by Jesus (a country preacher from Galilee) in verse 29 that you are in error? Jesus told them that they not only don't understand Scripture, they do not know the power of God. How sad to "know it all," yet know nothing.
How timely that we read of Jesus' teaching on taxes on tax day here in the U.S. Give to Caesar what is due him, and to God what is due Him (your heart and your life).
