    Life of Christ Lesson 129: The Woe Sermon - Part II {Harsh Words for Hypocrites}

    Matthew 23:13-39; Mark 12:40; Luke 20:47 Matthew chapter 23 contains the last words the Lord Jesus ever spoke in the confines of the Temple walls.  They were the harshest words He ever spoke and, not surprisingly, they were directed at the false leaders of Israel who held themselves out to be God's servants when in reality they were deceivers, hypocrites, liars, murderers, and the children of Satan himself. The words Christ spoke in His eleventh recorded sermon are often referred to corporately as "The Denunciation Discourse" or "The Woe Discourse" - because He pronounced seven "woe judgments" on Israel's religious leadership.  By way of those pronounced "woes," He was giving seven reasons for the judgment soon to fall on Israel.  Her judgment came because the false Pharisaic system of Judaism led the nation to reject her long-awaited Messiah and Saviour! The Lord Jesus called the nation's leaders hypocrites for: (1) Shutting-up the Kingdom of Heaven, (2)  Stealing from Widows, (3) Sending Men to Hell, (4) Swearing for Gain, (5) Straining at Gnats, (6) Scrubbing the Eternals, and (7) Slaying the Righteous.

    Life of Christ Lesson 128: The Woe Sermon - Part I {The Danger of the Cloak of Religion}

    Matthew 23:1-12; Mark 12:38 39; Luke 20:45, 46 As our chronological study of Christ's earthly life continues with the events and sermons of Tuesday of the Passion Week, we come with this lesson and the one to follow (Lesson 129) to His eleventh recorded sermon, "The Denunciation Discourse".  Before actually getting to that discourse, the Lord Jesus addressed the multitude assembled around Him, as well as His faithful disciples (scribes and Pharisees were within hearing distance).  He spoke serious words of warning about the false religious leaders of His day. There is nothing more directly opposed to the true Gospel than the false teachings of prideful, self-deceived men and women who disguise themselves under the cloak of religion!  It is very interesting to learn that the Lord's first public sermon and His last public sermon consist almost entirely of warnings regarding false spiritual teachers!

    Life of Christ Lesson 127: Loaded Answers Supplied {Theologically-Loaded Question from a Scribe}

    Matthew 22:34-46; Mark 12:28-37; Luke 20:41-44 The third of a trilogy of "loaded" questions asked of Jesus on Tuesday of the Passion Week came from a lawyer (a "scribe" - Mark 12:28).  It was not a political or doctrinal question, but a theological one; it had to do with the greatest commandment in the Old Testament Law. After supplying the lawyer with the perfect answer, the Lord Jesus asked the man a question of His own (as He often did).  His question dealt with the most important personal issue facing every person, past, present, and future!  It was essentially, "Who is Christ?  Whose Son is He?  Is He merely the son of a man, or is He the very Son of God?"   The Lord Himself supplied the answer to His own question, and it was a very LOADED answer!  As He always did, He used the Word of God as both His final authority and His proof text.  Learn how Christ used Psalm 110:1 to prove that the Messiah (Himself) is also Adonai (Lord God)!  THIS IS AN IMPORTANT APOLOGETIC TOOL FOR PROVING CHRIST'S DEITY!

    Life of Christ Lessons 126b, c: Loaded Questions Silenced - Part II {Doctrinally-Loaded Question from Sadducees to Mock Resurrection}

    Matthew 22:23-33; Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-40 Following the completely failed attempt by some Pharisees to ensnare Jesus with two politically loaded questions - due to the profound wisdom of His responses, another group of men quickly took over where the Pharisees left off.  This second group consisted of Sadducees, and they also had a "loaded" question which they were sure would put Jesus in a "no win" situation however He answered it.  How wrong they were!  Their question was doctrinally loaded and was intentionally created to make the doctrine of resurrection (which they did NOT believe) look ridiculous. The Lord's answer to their sarcastic and jesting question about a woman who had seven husbands - and whose wife would she be in the resurrection is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!  Everyone who heard it was astonished at His teaching.  In fact, after He spoke, we read these words about His enemies in Luke 20:40, " . . . they durst not ask Him any question at all".

    Life of Christ Lesson 126a: Loaded Questions Silenced - Part I {Politically-Loaded Question from Pharisees}

    Matthew 22:15-22; Mark 12:13-17; Luke 20:20-26 It was Tuesday of the Lord's Passion Week.  Following His series of three judgment parables (see Lessons 124 and 125), the religious rulers of Israel confronted Jesus with what we are calling three "loaded" questions.  They were "loaded" in that they were purposely and maliciously designed to trap Him into condemning Himself by His responses.  Little did those rulers realize how their "loaded" questions were actually fulfilled the divine purpose of examining the Passover Lamb! As we look at these questions - in this lesson it is a politically loaded question asked by some Pharisees - and the Lord's amazing answers to them, we will see even His worst enemies could find NO FAULT in Him!!  He was the SPOTLESS Lamb of God, Whose death and shed blood would totally satisfy the Father as the righteous payment for the sins of the world!

    "What on Earth is Going On?" Part 2 - NEW STUDY {End-Times' Indicators in the World Today}

    This second part of this BRAND NEW STUDY, "What on Earth is Going On," looks at today's extremely alarming world scenario through the lens of prophetic Scripture!  Discussed in this study are not only New Testament descriptions of "the last days" (which we are clearly in), but some very important "end times" Old Testament prophecies. These include the prophetic vision of Ezekiel's "Valley of Dry Bones" ... which is already partially fulfilled ... and his divinely inspired description of the yet-future "War of Gog and Magog" (the geopolitical alignment of the nations involved in this battle exist today for the first time in 2600 years)! We also summarize what many consider the greatest prophecy in support of the Identity of Jesus, the Messiah of Israel and the Savior of the world: Daniel's God-given "Seventy Weeks' Prophecy"! Not only did it predict the very day of His official presentation of Himself as Messiah to Israel, but this prophecy fully supports a Pre-Tribulation Rapture of Christ's Bride, the Church. Furthermore, it clearly teaches (as does "The Valley of Dry Bones Prophecy") that God has not replaced Israel with the Church! He will fully keep all His covenant promises with her! Romans 11:26! God has placed blinking neon signs everywhere to warn the world He is coming soon! DO NOT be like Israel at the time of Christ's First Coming, when she MISSED THE DAY OF HER VISITATION!  Receive Him today as your sin-Substitute Savior, for He is LORD, and the Bible clearly proves that truth from Genesis to Revelation.

    Take a "jet tour" through the entire Bible in this NEW STUDY, as we explore "God's Plan of the Ages" to see where we are today in HIS-story!  This is an extremely powerful message to strengthen faith in the undeniable RELIABILITY OF GOD'S WORD - and to use the information learned in SHARING with others so their "eyes are opened" to the TRUTH of the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ! Many exciting prophetic picture-types of the Gospel throughout the Old Testament are presented - some of which may even surprise the seasoned Bible student.

    Life of Christ Lesson 125: Judgement for Rejection - Part III {Parable of the Wedding Banquet for the King’s Son}

    Matthew 22:1-14 In this lesson, we discuss "The Lord's Answer" to a question that a delegation of religious rulers posed to Him in Matthew 21:23 regarding His authority to present Himself to Israel as her Messiah and to cleanse the Temple of the religious "robbers" who had made it their "den" of iniquity.   Christ's answer challenged His enemies' four-fold rejection: (1) their rejection of John the Baptist and his authority, (2) their rejection of God the Father (which He taught via His "Parable of the Two Sons"), (3) their rejection of God the Son (which He taught by way of His "Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers") and (4) their rejection of God the Holy Spirit.  It is this fourth subject to which we come in this lesson.  Again, the Lord spoke by way of a parable: "The Parable of the Wedding Banquet for the King's Son".
