Luke 20

Luke 20:1-8 - The Pharisees try to trap Jesus

• This was a legitimate question, but it was asked with impure motives, which Jesus made clear by His response.

Luke 20:9-19 - Parable of the wicked tenants

• In this parable:
  • Owner = God
  • Vinegrowers = Israel
  • Slaves of the owner = prophets
  • Son of the owner = Jesus

Luke 20:20-40 - Jesus questioned about paying taxes and the resurrection

• Luke 20:37-38 - The Jews held only the Pentateuch to be authoritative, so Jesus gave them a counter-example from Exodus. This also shows just how carefully God expects us to read scripture!

Luke 20:41-44 - How was Jesus both David’s son and Lord?

• Jesus was David’s son by lineage, but Jesus is deity, thus David’s Lord.
• Luke 20:42 - This is quoting Psalms 110:1.

What does the Bible say?

Even secular sources recognize the effect of immodesty?

Let’s develop love for the souls of others.

“Make no provision for the flesh”

I need to redefine my IDENTITY.

My mind can rise above my circumstances

You see what you’re looking for … so look for good stuff.

Luke 19

Luke 19:1-10 - Jesus and Zaccheus

• Luke 19:7 - There may have been both some jealousy (because of Zaccheus’ wealth) and judgmentalism on the part of these people. We must be very careful to not old these same attitudes ourselves.

Luke 19:11-27 - Parable of the ten minas

• Luke 19:11 - Jesus told this parable because some thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately.
• Luke 19:12 - See Ephesians 2:11-14. Could this be a reference to the Jews as the old kingdom?

Luke 19:28-40 - The triumphal entry

• Luke 19:30 - This fulfilled a prophecy. In Matthew’s account (Matthew 21:1-11), it is specified that this colt is the foal of a donkey, quoting from Zechariah 9:9.

Luke 19:41-44 - Jesus weeps over Jerusalem

• Jesus prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem.

Luke 19:45-48 - Jesus cleanses the temple
