Jesus calls out the religious elite with eight woes that expose their hypocrisy. Their religious experience led people astray because it exalted them instead of the Lord.
After the Pharisees, Herodians, and Sadducees all fail to disprove Jesus, they send in an expert of the law to test Him. His response illuminates what it truly means to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. But when Jesus turns the tables and poses just one question to them, the religious elite are silenced.
After the Pharisees and Herodian's questioning fails to disprove Jesus, the Sadducees attempt to disprove Him with a hypothetical scenario. Jesus's response confirms that there is life after death and shows the true power of God in the resurrection.
When questioned about paying tax, Jesus’s response shows that two things can be true at the same time. We can both submit to government authority and to God’s ultimate authority without them being in opposition. In fact, submission to government can be an expression of our submission to God.
After communicating His authority through the parable of the Two Sons, Jesus reiterates His message with two more parables. Although the invitation is open to all, there is only one means of salvation- through submission to Christ’s authority.
