Not Far From The Kingdom
from The Orchard Church Hosted by The Orchard Church
Jesus answers the questions from the intellectual and religious elite publicly while the crowds look on and listen with great delight. The Chief Priests, scribes, Pharisees, Herodians, and Sadducees have all asked their questions and have been publicly humiliated. Jesus is on their turf answering questions at the religious center of Israel. This thirty-something-year-old itinerate rabbi who didn't attend the right schools is schooling the Jewish leaders. A scribe who seems impressed has one more question, but his approach is very different from the previous attempts to publicly humiliate Jesus. It has been a day for questions, but Jesus is about to turn the tables and ask the question of the day. The question Jesus asks will raise the stakes and then He will follow it with a full-scale verbal assault against the current religious authorities. The conflict continues to escalate. The cross is three days away and a moment of truth has arrived. Religion can’t save you, the Messiah is not what you expect, and the heart is the most important thing when it comes to following Jesus. The Gospel According to Mark - The Servant King - 10.25.20
