Summary

After racking their brains for the ultimate trap question, the religious leaders hold one final Q&A with Jesus in Matthew 22. But it does not go how they had planned and they are instead silenced by Jesus’ responses. Meanwhile, through His answers, we gain valuable insight into how God wants us to live, who Jesus really is, and how we can accept His invitation to receive eternal life.

0:00.0	Matthew chapter 22.
0:07.0	The story is told of Christian Herder, who was the governor of Massachusetts running for a second term in office.
0:14.0	And he was, you know, on his campaign trail, traveling and speaking at places, but on one afternoon he was there at a sunday church potluck
0:23.7	where he was greeting some of the people at the church there and there was a small church potluck
0:28.8	and so barbecue chicken it was the works you know and they were out there having a great time
0:34.2	but when when it came to go through the line to get his food, the governor
0:39.0	saw the delicious chicken and the lady that was handing out the chicken, she put one little

1:11.2	charge of chicken. Take a hike. Well, authority. Who really has the authority? It's funny,

1:31.9	or maybe they are, maybe they aren't, but that's kind of what happens with human nature. And when
1:37.4	one who has real authority comes into the area, then it can challenge those who are thinking
1:42.6	they're in authority or think they're in charge,
1:45.2	but maybe they're not. But we have that kind of a situation here in chapter 22 with Jesus.
1:50.9	Jesus is on the scene. And it's interesting because the people already are saying stuff like,
