The Coming of the King

Coming of the King: Week 47

22:28 "whose wife" - notice that they did not consider it a problem for a husband to have multiple wives in the next life, only the other way around. Their assumptions are not even valid for this world.
22:29 "ye do err" - Their rejection of the resurrection was based on false assumptions. How many truths do we discard because of false assumptions?
22:33 "astonished at His teaching" - Luke tells us that some of the Scribes said, "Teacher, you have spoken well!" Luke 20:39

22:35 "tested Him" - Mark reports that the Scribe was genuinely interested, and after the exchange Jesus says, "You are not far from the kingdom of God.” Mark 12:34
22:37 "Love the Lord your God" Deuteronomy 6:5
22:39 "Love your neighbor as yourself" Leviticus 19:18
22:40 "hang on these two" - Mark reports the Scribe as adding "these are more important than burnt offerings and sacrifices".

22:42 "Son of David" - the common Messianic title. But the Pharisees were the first Arians - seeing the Messiah as human, even super-human, but not divine.
22:44 "sit at my right hand" Psalm 110 - as Rachel prophesied in Genesis 35:18.
22:45 "How can He be both David's son and Lord?" - minds blown.
22:46 contest over - victory: Jesus!
