Hypocritical ministers who are faking religious piety to profit off God's people while perverting them will be judged most severely by Christ in the end. Pastors Must Not be Phony Pharisees.

In contrast to the example of the Pharisees, Jesus says His disciples should not be hypocrites only seeking to be seen and saluted in their service. Serve Silently and Secretly.

Explaining Psalm 110-1, Jesus teaches the Pharisees that as Messiah He is both God and man and so He is not to be rejected but received. Receive the God-man for Who He Is.

God's greatest commandment of all is to love. There is nothing greater than to completely love God. If you truly love God you will sincerely love your neighbors and brethren. Love is at the heart and is the fulfillment of all of God's Laws. Love.

Correcting the unbelieving Sadducees and based on logical deduction from Exodus 3-6 -The LORD is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob-, Christ teaches that, The resurrection of God's people is guaranteed by the living God in living covenant with them. Your Resurrected Life is Guaranteed.

In how Jesus answers the Pharisees and Herodians about whether it is OK to pay taxes to Caesar, we learn that, The trap of Church-State relations is often not a conflict at all for Christians. Fear God and Honor Government.

As we look at three parables that have a connection and climax against the Pharisees in favor of the Gentiles, we see that Those who say they serve Jesus but actually won't will not enter His Kingdom- but they who do will. Hypocritical, Unwilling Church Servants Will Go to Hell- Truly Repentant, Believing Church Workers Will Go to Heaven.

When the Pharisees and Elders question Christ's authority teaching in the Temple, Jesus shows that His authority is clear and not to be questioned. Don't Stand in Jesus' Way.

Through the object lesson of the leaf-bearing, barren fig tree, Jesus figuratively curses fake religion empty of true belief- but He promises that real faith in His Gospel will grow. Believe in Jesus and His power to advance the Gospel through you against all odds. When you believe in Jesus and His power to produce you must bear much fruit. Believe and Bear Fruit.

We close the book of Numbers with its last chapter with an interesting focus again on the daughters of Zelophehad as an inclusion bookend with chapter 27. What happens if they marry after getting their father's inheritance but to a husband of another tribe-- would their father's portion and legacy not would be lost forever-- Moses again gives a case law to preserve the perpetuity of each tribe and family's claim to the Promised Land. So Christ has done for each one of us waiting to inherit our room in His Father's house. The inheritance of all God's people will always be preserved by God. Your Heavenly Inheritance Cannot be Taken Away from You.
