Read Luke 20:1–26
Think
Lk 20:1-8 – The Pharisees are looking for a way to discredit
Jesus. Often we discredit Jesus
ourselves when we say things like “He said x,
but he really meant y…”
Lk 20:9-19 – Jesus tells this parable ‘against the
Pharisees’ who never bother to listen to the prophets. It's a frightening challenge to us to pay
attention.
Lk 20:20-26 – The Pharisees try to trap Jesus again. Remembering the belief that people are
created ‘in the image of God’ Jesus asks his hearers to give to Caesar that
which is Caesar’s and to God that which is God’s. Take your money – we belong to God. Who do the Pharisees belong to? Who do you belong to?
Pray
Who do you belong to?
