In this text we see a stark contrast between the religious pretentiousness and true faith. The Scribes were respected religious leaders in Jesus’ time and He brought a scathing rebuke and warning to them. Even as He did, Jesus lifted up a poor widow as an example for us. We will see the dangerous trap of religious pretense and a call to true faith.

There are only two certainties in life: death and taxes. In last week’s passage, Jesus taught about taxes. In this passage, we see what He has to say about death. In Luke 20:27-44 Jesus paints a portrait of the “age of the resurrection”, the life to come. It’s a great opportunity for us to remember who is the Giver and Creator of life.

This is particularly important in our context and at this time.

God's message and authority have always been communicated by His sent messengers. In this section, we see the religious leaders respond to Jesus' bold claims of authority and divinity, and learn how we all should respond to God's servants.

Jesus’ long journey to Jerusalem finally comes to an end. As He arrives in the city, we see a swirling emotions of joy, dismay, frustration, anger, and sorrow. In all of it, there is a dichotomy between those who follow Jesus and the religious leaders of the time. In their responses, we can see the characteristics of true and false worship.
