Questions for the Lord…and from the Lord

September 7, 2022 SS, Matthew 22:15-46.

The Pharisees and Herodians were desperate to find an excuse to get rid of Jesus. They wanted to kill him (John 5:18, 11:53; Luke 13:31) so they could maintain their grip on power. The Pharisees were the religious party, and the Herodians were the political party. Many of the Herodians were likely Sadducees as well. We see how Jesus answered the Sadducee's questions using scripture to testify of the resurrection to come.
