Questions In The Temple | Luke 20:20-44 | Pastor John Miller

How do you trap the Son of God? In this gripping study of Luke 20:20–44, Pastor John Miller takes us into the Temple on the Wednesday before the crucifixion. Jesus faces a gauntlet of "spies" and religious leaders—Pharisees, Herodians, and Sadducees—who have joined forces in a common cause to catch Him in His words and deliver Him to Rome. Pastor John breaks down the famous challenges regarding civil duty and eternal reality. From the "cool Messiah flip" of a Roman denarius to a hypothetical riddle about a woman with seven husbands, Jesus answers with such divine wisdom that His enemies are left in stunned silence. Finally, Pastor John explores how Jesus turns the tables to ask the ultimate question about the Messiah's identity: How can He be both David's son and David's Lord? Discover the profound truth of the "God-Man" who reconciles us to the Father. In this study, you will discover: - Render to Caesar: Why Christians are called to be good citizens and the limit of governmental authority. - The Image of God: Understanding that while a coin bears Caesar's image, you bear the image of the Creator. - The Sadducees' Riddle: Why there is no marriage in heaven and what it means to be "like the angels." - The God of the Living: How Jesus used the Pentateuch to prove that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are alive today. - The Hypostatic Union: A deep theological look at how Jesus is truly God and truly man—David’s descendant and David’s Sovereign. - The Victory of Silence: Why the religious leaders "dared not ask Him any more questions." 📺 WATCH THE FULL SERIES: Catch up on the entire verse-by-verse study through the Gospel of Luke here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP9sIJpVEMLKl-Yf93BLg8t9b8KOGIAmC 🕒 Video Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction: Christians as Good Citizens 01:00 - Context: The Gauntlet of Spies on Holy Wednesday 02:52 - Point 1: The Question of Taxes (Luke 20:20-26) 04:11 - The Setting: Pharisees and Herodians Unite 05:54 - Hypocrisy and Flattery: The Trap is Set 08:33 - The Messiah Flip: Whose image is on this penny? 10:24 - Render to Caesar vs. Render to God 12:56 - Point 2: The Question of Resurrection (Luke 20:27-40) 13:18 - Who were the Sadducees?
