Jesus never gets tripped up, marriage is temporary, the entire Bible teaches the resurrection from the dead, and the resurrected Christ is Lord.

The persistence of the King's enemies and the display of the King's wisdom.

Jesus doesn't owe sinners anything, mankind is shockingly evil, God has been so merciful, God will avenge His Son, and salvation is only found in the Son.

The Messiah’s humble presentation; the Messiah’s haunting prediction; and the Messiah’s harsh provocation.

Jesus has the power of God’s promised King. Jesus has the recognition of God as His promised King. Jesus has been given the mission of God’s promised King.

Jesus charges us to be about the kingdom's business.

We are called to pursue Jesus quickly and welcome Jesus joyfully.

Jesus opens our eyes to see Him as the suffering Son of David; the only one who can give us life.
