Jesus intensifies his confrontation with the Jewish religious leaders using parables and pointed questions. The Parable of the Tenants exposes their rejection of God’s messengers and ultimately God’s Son—Jesus. Jesus answers challenging questions regarding taxes, resurrection, and the greatest commandment with astute insight and prowess. He especially notes a poor widow’s offering as representing the highest form of true devotion. This session reveals Jesus’ authority, exposes hypocrisy, and highlights kingdom values. Verses: Mark 12:1-44; Ps. 118:22-23; Deut. 6:4-5; Lev. 19:18; 1 Kings 10 Teacher: Jerry Wierwille
