The Jewish leaders have been challenging Jesus’ authority in various ways. Now they ask a series of trick questions about the law, in the hope of catching Jesus out. Jesus stuns the crowds with his answers, but eventually he asks them the one question that matters: “Who is Jesus really?” If Jesus is really God, then whether we’re a disinterested unbeliever or a Christian who’s compromising, the one thing we must not do is take Jesus lightly. He is the divine Messiah – God the Son authoritatively sent to save sinners.
Matthew 22:15-46
