Matthew 22:46-23:7 Jesus on the Attack: Exposing the Scribes and Pharisees

Jesus has finally silenced the relentless attack of the religious leaders. They don’t know how to answer Jesus’ question. Furthermore, they are so intimidated by His wisdom that ‘no one dared from that day to ask Him another question.’ One might expect Jesus to kind of, ‘live and let live.’ If the Scribes and Pharisees are no longer going to attack Jesus, then He can just go about His business freely. Why enflame their passions against Him, right? But what do we see? We see Jesus on the attack! Listen as Pastor Matt shows how Jesus lambasts the Scribes and Pharisees to the crowds with them listening; exposing their self appointment as leaders, their double-standards, and the unholy motives of their ‘righteousness.’ If Jesus keeps this up He is going to get Himself killed….. which is, in fact, a necessary component of God’s perfect plan.
