As Long as We Don't Talk About Religion or Politics... - Audio

Coming off of the clearing of the temple, and the challenge of Jesus' authority in the beginning of the chapter, we see Jesus clarify things with a brutal parable. The story Jesus tells chronicles the history of God the Father's attempt to call his people (Israel) back to himself through the prophets, and eventually by sending his own Son. Jesus is then asked, in an attempt to trap him, about the role of governmental authority in the life of God's children. Jesus foils every controversy brought to him with the wisdom that could only be directly from God. We will see how Jesus' authority should affect our lives today through this powerful passage.
