THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 58: Religious Hypocrisy |
|
|
Jesus sparred with the religious leadership in a
grueling effort to finalize the doctrine of the New Testament when
He told a parable about marriage. A king was hosting a wedding for
his son and he sent out servants to collect the guests. The invited
people did not want to come, instead pretending to be busy or just
downright hostile and killed the servants. The king responded by
sending his army to punish the evildoers. The wedding eventually
took place with a couple more twists to the story. Then the
Sadducees came with a wild account of eight brothers marrying the
same woman, wanting to know whose wife she would be in heaven.
Jesus’ answer of there being no marriage in heaven shocked them.
After that, a delegation of Pharisees stepped forward to ask Jesus
which was the greatest commandment. The God-man’s answer surprised
them, but they were further stunned by His counter-question about
the Messiah and gave up their trickery. |
