This morning we will be finishing off the 22nd Chapter in the Gospel of Matthew.

Previously in our text, we have seen the Sadducees, the Pharisees and even the Herodians trying to trap Jesus and trip Him up by asking questions that they thought were too difficult for anyone to answer without implicating or distancing themselves. Time and time again, Jesus has left these religious leaders stunned and in silence.

Our text this morning will not be any different. We will see a scribe ask Jesus:  “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”  

Considering the religious leaders taking the 10 commandments and turning them into 613 rules and regulations there was a lot to choose from. Jesus will in fact give us the answer to which is the greatest command in the Law. 

Then Jesus will take His turn to put the Pharisees on the offensive. He will ask a very basic question. A question that these Pharisees, apparently, never gave much thought to but that had HUGE implications to their understanding of the Messiah and his lineage. The simple question regarding the Messiah was: “Whose son is He?”  

We will also be having a prayer service tonight at 4PM.
