Jesus Takes Questions Part 2 (4 of 11)
Series: The Greatest Week in History
Scott Maze
Luke 20:19-44
This a three-month long study of just one week in the life of Jesus. The power of this week lies in all that happened. And it deserves both retelling and a careful scrutiny. Bracketed by Palm Sunday on one end and Easter Sunday on the other, this is the most important week in history. On Friday, Jesus will die. On Thursday, Judas will betray Him. Today's focus is again, on Tuesday. Tension Tuesday - for this is a day of verbal conflict between Jesus and the religious figures of His day.
And before we read our passage, allow me to set the scene. It's Tuesday, just seventy-two hours away from His death and about sixty-four hours away from Judas' famous kiss. So many items are going on Tuesday that we are devoting three Sundays to the happenings on Tuesday. We can call Tuesday of Holy Week or Passion Week, Tension Tuesday, for it's a day when tensions are high. Essentially, Jesus spends much of the day debating and arguing with the religious teachers of His day. Out of this very busy day, we've selected five items to feature:
1) Jesus answers a question about taxes; 2) Jesus answers a question about the resurrection; 3) Jesus answers a question about the law; 4) Jesus asks a question about the Messiah; and 5) Jesus offers His opinion on the religious teachers of His day.
Again, Tuesday is a day of tension - it's a day when Jesus argued. American history students are introduced to the Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas debates where the two opponents squared off for the elimination or the expansion of slavery. The first televised Presidential debate occurred in 1960 against the backdrop of the heated Cold War with the Soviet Union. The young and dynamic senator from Massachusetts, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, stood in contrast to next to the older Vice-President, Richard Nixon, who looked terrible with little to no makeup. Since then, American politica ...
