AUTHORITY ISSUES

Luke 20 begins where Luke 19 left off. Jesus is in the temple teaching and preaching. The Son of God has come to the place where people desire to meet God. The teaching of Jesus threatens dead, moralistic religion. He exposes their rejection and ultimate rebellion of God and his messengers despite their belief in God’s Word. Each time the opposition fails in their challenge of him. Like his listeners then, today’s readers wrestle with authority until they see the supremacy and sufficiency of Jesus’ authority.

Use these questions to read, reflect, and live out Luke 20 this week:

Luke 20v1-8
How have we rejected the authority of the Son?

Luke 20v9-18
How can we receive & honor the Son?

Luke 20v19-26
When do you fail to yield to authority over you?

Luke 20v27-40
How does eternity compare with this present age?

Luke 20v41-44
Whose Son is the Christ?

Luke 20v45-47
What is Jesus’ warning?

The Small Groups will study Luke 19 beginning May 20.
