Robert Jeffress - Jesus In The Hot Seat
Robert Jeffress explores a scene from Luke 20 where religious leaders try to trap Jesus with insincere questions. They question his authority, his stance on government, and the concept of resurrection. Jesus responds with wisdom and courage, using biblical references to defend his position. Through this message, Dr. Jeffress encourages Christians to be mindful, biblical, and courageous when facing challenges to their faith. He reminds them to live for an audience of one - God himself.

  • Jeffress: every parent knows what it's like to be bombarded
  • 00:01:33.449 --> 00:01:37.020
  • With questions from your children.
  • 00:01:37.020 --> 00:01:39.622
  • Now, when your children are small, the questions are sincere
  • 00:01:39.622 --> 00:01:43.326
  • Questions, questions like, "why is the sky blue?"
  • 00:01:43.326 --> 00:01:47.864

  • Have you noticed, the older they get, those questions move from
  • 00:01:56.940 --> 00:02:00.777
  • Being sincere questions to sometimes questions that
  • 00:02:00.777 --> 00:02:04.380
  • Challenge our authority?

  • "why can't i have my own car?"

  • You know, as a parent, we respond one way to sincere
  • 00:02:11.521 --> 00:02:14.357
  • Questions, but we respond completely differently to
  • 00:02:14.357 --> 00:02:17.594
  • Questions meant to challenge our authority.
  • 00:02:17.594 --> 00:02:20.863
  • We shouldn't be surprised that god's the same way.
  • 00:02:20.863 --> 00:02:24.334
  • God never resents sincere questions.
  • 00:02:24.334 --> 00:02:29.272
  • He doesn't always answer the questions.
  • 00:02:29.272 --> 00:02:31.574
  • Remember, job asked him in the midst of his suffering the
  • 00:02:31.574 --> 00:02:34.644
  • Why question?
  • 00:02:34.644 --> 00:02:36.412
  • God basically said, "it's beyond your pay grade to understand.
  • 00:02:36.412 --> 00:02:41.618
  • I-- you couldn't begin to understand the why question even
  • 00:02:41.618 --> 00:02:44.754
  • If i explained it to you."
  • 00:02:44.754 --> 00:02:46.556
  • Or the disciples, they were asking jesus before he ascended
  • 00:02:46.556 --> 00:02:49.459
  • Back into heaven, "lord, is it at this time?
  • 00:02:49.459 --> 00:02:52.195
  • When are you gonna restore the kingdom?"
  • 00:02:52.195 --> 00:02:53.730
  • And jesus politely but firmly said, "it's none of
  • 00:02:53.730 --> 00:02:56.099
  • Your business.
  • 00:02:56.099 --> 00:02:57.533
  • That's god the father's business."
  • 00:02:57.533 --> 00:02:59.702
  • But god is not threatened by sincere questions.
  • 00:02:59.702 --> 00:03:02.605
  • However, when people ask questions that are meant to mask
  • 00:03:02.605 --> 00:03:07.410
  • Their own rebellion and unbelief, god
  • 00:03:07.410 --> 00:03:10.446
  • Responds differently.
  • 00:03:10.446 --> 00:03:12.181
  • And we see that illustrated in how jesus responded to three
  • 00:03:12.181 --> 00:03:16.786
  • Questions that were asked not sincerely but were meant to
  • 00:03:16.786 --> 00:03:20.590
  • Discredit and ultimately destroy him.
  • 00:03:20.590 --> 00:03:23.426
  • If you have your bibles, turn to luke chapter 19 as we discover
  • 00:03:23.426 --> 00:03:27.297
  • How jesus responded when he found himself in the hot seat.
  • 00:03:27.297 --> 00:03:31.601
  • Look at luke 19:47-48.
  • 00:03:31.601 --> 00:03:34.604
  • "and jesus was teaching daily in the temple.
  • 00:03:34.604 --> 00:03:37.573
  • But the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men
  • 00:03:37.573 --> 00:03:40.610
  • Among the people were trying to destroy him.
  • 00:03:40.610 --> 00:03:44.147
  • They were infuriated at jesus and so they could not find
  • 00:03:44.147 --> 00:03:47.917
  • Anything that they might do for all the people were hanging upon
  • 00:03:47.917 --> 00:03:52.121
  • His words."
  • 00:03:52.121 --> 00:03:54.257
  • They wanted to get rid of jesus and they knew the only way to do
  • 00:03:54.257 --> 00:03:58.194
  • That was to either catch him in blasphemy or in treason
  • 00:03:58.194 --> 00:04:02.932
  • Against rome.
  • 00:04:02.932 --> 00:04:04.801
  • And now between the white space in your bible between the end of
  • 00:04:04.801 --> 00:04:08.271
  • Chapter 19 and the beginning of chapter 20 they came up with
  • 00:04:08.271 --> 00:04:12.608
  • A plan.
  • 00:04:12.608 --> 00:04:13.943
  • You see, they couldn't openly kill him at this point because
  • 00:04:13.943 --> 00:04:16.212
  • He was too popular.
  • 00:04:16.212 --> 00:04:17.714
  • So how in the world were they going to catch jesus?
  • 00:04:17.714 --> 00:04:20.950
  • Well, they came up with this plan and the plan was they would
  • 00:04:20.950 --> 00:04:24.687
  • Try to trick jesus into committing either blasphemy or
  • 00:04:24.687 --> 00:04:28.725
  • Treason by answer-- asking him three tough questions, questions
  • 00:04:28.725 --> 00:04:34.163
  • About his identity, about the role of government, and about
  • 00:04:34.163 --> 00:04:38.534
  • The nature of eternity.
  • 00:04:38.534 --> 00:04:40.837
  • Let's look at the first question, the question of
  • 00:04:40.837 --> 00:04:43.373
  • Jesus's identity, beginning with chapter 20, verses 1 and 2: "and
  • 00:04:43.373 --> 00:04:48.211
  • It came about on one of the days while jesus was teaching the
  • 00:04:48.211 --> 00:04:51.547
  • People in the temple and preaching the gospel, the chief
  • 00:04:51.547 --> 00:04:55.718
  • Priests and the scribes with the elders confronted him and they
  • 00:04:55.718 --> 00:04:59.589
  • Spoke, saying to him, 'tell us by what authority are you doing
  • 00:04:59.589 --> 00:05:04.360
  • These things or who is the one who gave you this authority?'"
  • 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:08.464
  • What things?
  • 00:05:08.464 --> 00:05:09.832
  • They were saying, "who gave you the authority to do what you did
  • 00:05:09.832 --> 00:05:11.901
  • Yesterday in cleaning out this temple, turning over the tables
  • 00:05:11.901 --> 00:05:15.772
  • Of the money changers?
  • 00:05:15.772 --> 00:05:17.540
  • Who gave you the authority to do what you did in our
  • 00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:20.843
  • Holy temple?"
  • 00:05:20.843 --> 00:05:22.512
  • Well, jesus decided to answer their question with
  • 00:05:22.512 --> 00:05:26.315
  • Another question.
  • 00:05:26.315 --> 00:05:27.683
  • Look at verses 3 and 4: "and he answered and said to them, 'i
  • 00:05:27.683 --> 00:05:30.853
  • Shall also ask you a question and you tell me, "was the
  • 00:05:30.853 --> 00:05:35.191
  • Baptism of john from heaven or from men?"'"
  • 00:05:35.191 --> 00:05:40.163
  • Why did he ask about john the baptist?
  • 00:05:40.163 --> 00:05:42.598
  • John the baptist, remember, was a revered prophet.
  • 00:05:42.598 --> 00:05:45.468
  • The people loved john the baptist.
  • 00:05:45.468 --> 00:05:48.070
  • And remember john the baptist was the one who came to announce
  • 00:05:48.070 --> 00:05:51.107
  • The coming of christ.
  • 00:05:51.107 --> 00:05:52.475
  • When he saw jesus, he said, "behold the lamb of god who is
  • 00:05:52.475 --> 00:05:55.545
  • To take away the sins of the world."
  • 00:05:55.545 --> 00:05:57.780
  • Jesus is the cornerstone.
  • 00:05:57.780 --> 00:06:00.116
  • He is the foundation of this entire universe.
  • 00:06:00.116 --> 00:06:04.253
  • And you either submit to him or you will be broken over him.
  • 00:06:04.253 --> 00:06:09.959
  • You know, the apostle peter understood that.
  • 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.762
  • There are some faith traditions today that say that the apostle
  • 00:06:12.762 --> 00:06:16.532
  • Peter is the cornerstone of the church, the foundation of
  • 00:06:16.532 --> 00:06:19.869
  • The church.
  • 00:06:19.869 --> 00:06:21.237
  • No, he's not.
  • 00:06:21.237 --> 00:06:22.572
  • Even peter did not believe he was the cornerstone of
  • 00:06:22.572 --> 00:06:24.273
  • The church.
  • 00:06:24.273 --> 00:06:25.641
  • Peter said, "jesus is the cornerstone of the church."
  • 00:06:25.641 --> 00:06:28.845
  • Listen to what peter said in 1 peter 2, verses 6 through 8:
  • 00:06:28.845 --> 00:06:32.782
  • "for this is contained in scripture," and he quotes from
  • 00:06:32.782 --> 00:06:36.185
  • Isaiah 28.
  • 00:06:36.185 --> 00:06:37.587
  • "behold, i lay in zion a choice stone, a precious cornerstone,
  • 00:06:37.587 --> 00:06:43.125
  • And he who believes in him will not be disappointed.
  • 00:06:43.125 --> 00:06:47.063
  • This precious value then is for you who believe but for those
  • 00:06:47.063 --> 00:06:50.800
  • Who disbelieve," and then he quotes from psalm 118, "the
  • 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:54.570
  • Stone which the builders rejected, this became the
  • 00:06:54.570 --> 00:06:57.507
  • Very cornerstone."
  • 00:06:57.507 --> 00:06:59.809
  • And then he quotes from isaiah 8, "a stone of stumbling and a
  • 00:06:59.809 --> 00:07:03.846
  • Rock of offense for they stumble because they are disobedient to
  • 00:07:03.846 --> 00:07:08.518
  • The word and to this doom they were also appointed."
  • 00:07:08.518 --> 00:07:13.322
  • Although jesus is the cornerstone of god's plan for
  • 00:07:13.322 --> 00:07:16.893
  • The world, have you noticed how people stumble over
  • 00:07:16.893 --> 00:07:21.264
  • Jesus christ?
  • 00:07:21.264 --> 00:07:23.599
  • They wanted to kill him right then, but they had a problem: he
  • 00:07:23.599 --> 00:07:27.403
  • Was too popular.
  • 00:07:27.403 --> 00:07:28.804
  • So they decided to try to trip him up with a second question, a
  • 00:07:28.804 --> 00:07:33.109
  • Question that is sure to cause controversy back then, just as
  • 00:07:33.109 --> 00:07:36.946
  • It is today.
  • 00:07:36.946 --> 00:07:38.281
  • They decided to question him about the subject of politics,
  • 00:07:38.281 --> 00:07:43.753
  • The politics of his day.
  • 00:07:43.753 --> 00:07:45.555
  • And that's what they did.
  • 00:07:45.555 --> 00:07:46.923
  • Look at verses 21 and 22, the question about
  • 00:07:46.923 --> 00:07:49.158
  • Government's authority.
  • 00:07:49.158 --> 00:07:50.893
  • And so a second group came to him of jews, "and they
  • 00:07:50.893 --> 00:07:55.464
  • Questioned him saying, 'teacher, we know that you speak and teach
  • 00:07:55.464 --> 00:07:59.969
  • Correctly and you're not partial to any, but teach the way of god
  • 00:07:59.969 --> 00:08:04.941
  • In truth.'"
  • 00:08:04.941 --> 00:08:06.342
  • Pardon me if i barf right here.
  • 00:08:06.342 --> 00:08:10.046
  • They are so insincere.
  • 00:08:10.046 --> 00:08:11.981
  • You just see the insincerity, the honey drip.
  • 00:08:11.981 --> 00:08:14.817
  • "oh lord, we just believe everything you have to say."
  • 00:08:14.817 --> 00:08:18.354
  • "so please answer this simple question for us.
  • 00:08:18.354 --> 00:08:21.223
  • Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to caesar or not?"
  • 00:08:21.223 --> 00:08:27.229
  • Is it lawful for a jew to pay taxes to the corrupt
  • 00:08:27.229 --> 00:08:31.300
  • Roman government?
  • 00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:33.302
  • Now, matthew and mark's account, tell us which group of jews were
  • 00:08:33.302 --> 00:08:37.340
  • Coming to ask this question.
  • 00:08:37.340 --> 00:08:39.041
  • It was the pharisees and the herodians.
  • 00:08:39.041 --> 00:08:42.345
  • And why that's interesting is because those two group of jews
  • 00:08:42.345 --> 00:08:45.014
  • Hated one another.
  • 00:08:45.014 --> 00:08:46.382
  • They absolutely hated one another because they had polar
  • 00:08:46.382 --> 00:08:49.085
  • Opposite views of what the right response to government was.
  • 00:08:49.085 --> 00:08:53.589
  • The pharisees believed you ought to resist the roman government
  • 00:08:53.589 --> 00:08:56.993
  • At every chance you have.
  • 00:08:56.993 --> 00:08:59.528
  • The roman government is corrupt and it's an abomination that
  • 00:08:59.528 --> 00:09:03.265
  • Foreigners would have rule over israel.
  • 00:09:03.265 --> 00:09:05.835
  • So they said, "resist the government."
  • 00:09:05.835 --> 00:09:08.137
  • The herodians were that sect of the jews that said, "let's go
  • 00:09:08.137 --> 00:09:12.074
  • Along to get along.
  • 00:09:12.074 --> 00:09:13.409
  • Let's try to make peace with the romans as much as we can.
  • 00:09:13.409 --> 00:09:17.647
  • Let's pay our taxes and do what we can to live under
  • 00:09:17.647 --> 00:09:21.484
  • Their rule."
  • 00:09:21.484 --> 00:09:22.852
  • But these two groups, even though they hated one another,
  • 00:09:22.852 --> 00:09:24.754
  • They had a common enemy: jesus christ.
  • 00:09:24.754 --> 00:09:27.289
  • And so they come together and they say, "now, lord, tell us
  • 00:09:27.289 --> 00:09:30.159
  • About this tax thing.
  • 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:31.527
  • Is it rightful to pay taxes or not?"
  • 00:09:31.527 --> 00:09:33.763
  • Here's why it was a trick question.
  • 00:09:33.763 --> 00:09:35.665
  • If jesus said yes, it's right to pay taxes, then the group of
  • 00:09:35.665 --> 00:09:39.568
  • Jews who hated rome would say he can't be the messiah if he's for
  • 00:09:39.568 --> 00:09:43.606
  • Supporting rome.
  • 00:09:43.606 --> 00:09:45.041
  • If he said, no, you need to be conscientious objectors and not
  • 00:09:45.041 --> 00:09:48.411
  • Pay your taxes, then he would have been guilty of treason and
  • 00:09:48.411 --> 00:09:51.781
  • Would have been prematurely killed by the romans.
  • 00:09:51.781 --> 00:09:53.949
  • So how did he answer this question?
  • 00:09:53.949 --> 00:09:55.751
  • Look at verse 24.
  • 00:09:55.751 --> 00:09:57.586
  • Jesus said, "show me a denarius.
  • 00:09:57.586 --> 00:10:00.222
  • Bring me a denarius," a coin, the basic unit of currency then.
  • 00:10:00.222 --> 00:10:05.361
  • The denarius was about one day's wage.
  • 00:10:05.361 --> 00:10:08.664
  • On the denarius, there was an inscription.
  • 00:10:08.664 --> 00:10:11.367
  • It said, "tiberius, caesar, son of the divine augustus."
  • 00:10:11.367 --> 00:10:16.906
  • Tiberius was the emperor of rome.
  • 00:10:16.906 --> 00:10:19.709
  • He was the son of augustus, whom the romans thought was divine.
  • 00:10:19.709 --> 00:10:25.581
  • So he said, "bring me this denarius."
  • 00:10:25.581 --> 00:10:28.918
  • Now, the denarius represented the poll tax that the jews paid
  • 00:10:28.918 --> 00:10:35.591
  • Once a year.
  • 00:10:35.591 --> 00:10:36.926
  • They paid other taxes, but this was the poll tax to support the
  • 00:10:36.926 --> 00:10:39.595
  • Roman government, and it was one denarius.
  • 00:10:39.595 --> 00:10:42.998
  • That's what it was, the tax that was due, one denarius.
  • 00:10:42.998 --> 00:10:46.235
  • So jesus said, "now, give me one of those coins," and he held
  • 00:10:46.235 --> 00:10:49.772
  • It up.
  • 00:10:49.772 --> 00:10:51.140
  • What did he do with the coin?
  • 00:10:51.140 --> 00:10:52.475
  • Did he throw it away and say, "this is a pagan image on here.
  • 00:10:52.475 --> 00:10:54.410
  • You shouldn't have anything to do with it."
  • 00:10:54.410 --> 00:10:55.778
  • No, as he held it up, he said, "render to caesar, what
  • 00:10:55.778 --> 00:11:01.417
  • Is caesar's."
  • 00:11:01.417 --> 00:11:03.219
  • That word "render" means pay to, give to, caesar what belongs to
  • 00:11:03.219 --> 00:11:08.557
  • Caesar and render to god what is god's.
  • 00:11:08.557 --> 00:11:15.097
  • And there you find a theme we've talked about before, and that is
  • 00:11:15.097 --> 00:11:20.369
  • A christian's response to government.
  • 00:11:20.369 --> 00:11:23.139
  • Government is one of the three institutions god has created to
  • 00:11:23.139 --> 00:11:27.843
  • Carry out his purpose in the world.
  • 00:11:27.843 --> 00:11:29.678
  • God hasn't created one or two institutions, he's created three
  • 00:11:29.678 --> 00:11:33.282
  • And only three.
  • 00:11:33.282 --> 00:11:35.017
  • In genesis 2 he created the family, the building block of
  • 00:11:35.017 --> 00:11:38.754
  • Society.
  • 00:11:38.754 --> 00:11:40.456
  • In genesis chapter 9 he created government for the purpose of
  • 00:11:40.456 --> 00:11:44.827
  • Keeping order in society.
  • 00:11:44.827 --> 00:11:47.496
  • And in acts chapter 2 he created the church.
  • 00:11:47.496 --> 00:11:50.966
  • The purpose of the church is to be the body, the representative
  • 00:11:50.966 --> 00:11:53.969
  • Of christ on the earth.
  • 00:11:53.969 --> 00:11:56.272
  • And each institution has its own lane that it's to operate in to
  • 00:11:56.272 --> 00:12:01.944
  • Carry out god's purpose for the world.
  • 00:12:01.944 --> 00:12:04.079
  • The government has never been given the job of rearing
  • 00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:06.348
  • Children.
  • 00:12:06.348 --> 00:12:07.950
  • The church has not been given the responsibility of hunting
  • 00:12:07.950 --> 00:12:10.719
  • Down and punishing evildoers.
  • 00:12:10.719 --> 00:12:13.923
  • The government's not been charged with the responsibility
  • 00:12:13.923 --> 00:12:16.425
  • Of bringing revival to this country.
  • 00:12:16.425 --> 00:12:18.994
  • Every organization god has created for a unique purpose,
  • 00:12:18.994 --> 00:12:23.365
  • But government is a legitimate institution.
  • 00:12:23.365 --> 00:12:27.803
  • In fact, in romans 13, verses 1 to 2, paul said this.
  • 00:12:27.803 --> 00:12:31.240
  • "let every person be in subjection to the governing
  • 00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:34.476
  • Authorities, for there is no authority except from god, and
  • 00:12:34.476 --> 00:12:38.647
  • Those which exist are established by god.
  • 00:12:38.647 --> 00:12:41.984
  • Therefore, he who resists authority that is government has
  • 00:12:41.984 --> 00:12:45.988
  • Opposed the ordinances of god.
  • 00:12:45.988 --> 00:12:48.958
  • And they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon
  • 00:12:48.958 --> 00:12:52.761
  • Themselves."
  • 00:12:52.761 --> 00:12:54.630
  • Paul goes on to say god has even given to government the right to
  • 00:12:54.630 --> 00:12:57.833
  • Take the lives of people who are committing evil.
  • 00:12:57.833 --> 00:13:01.170
  • You know, people who say, "well, i don't believe in capital
  • 00:13:01.170 --> 00:13:02.872
  • Punishment."
  • 00:13:02.872 --> 00:13:04.206
  • Well, then you don't believe the word of god, because god says
  • 00:13:04.206 --> 00:13:07.676
  • Government has the right to execute people who are
  • 00:13:07.676 --> 00:13:10.646
  • Evildoers.
  • 00:13:10.646 --> 00:13:11.981
  • That is their responsibility.
  • 00:13:11.981 --> 00:13:15.050
  • And what he is saying here is, jesus, "give to government what
  • 00:13:15.050 --> 00:13:18.320
  • Belongs to government.
  • 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:19.955
  • Render to caesar, the government, what belongs to him,
  • 00:13:19.955 --> 00:13:22.725
  • Your allegiance, you're paying your taxes.
  • 00:13:22.725 --> 00:13:26.228
  • But," he goes on to say, "be sure you give to god what
  • 00:13:26.228 --> 00:13:31.200
  • Belongs to god."
  • 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:32.902
  • The sanhedrin couldn't trip him up on the question about
  • 00:13:32.902 --> 00:13:35.604
  • His identity.
  • 00:13:35.604 --> 00:13:37.740
  • The pharisees and the herodians couldn't trip him up on
  • 00:13:37.740 --> 00:13:40.309
  • Questions about government.
  • 00:13:40.309 --> 00:13:41.977
  • So there was one final group to come to jesus to question him
  • 00:13:41.977 --> 00:13:46.115
  • About eternity.
  • 00:13:46.115 --> 00:13:47.917
  • And this final group, the bible tells us, was a group known as
  • 00:13:47.917 --> 00:13:51.921
  • The sadducees.
  • 00:13:51.921 --> 00:13:53.455
  • And so the sadducees, who didn't believe in any resurrection at
  • 00:13:53.455 --> 00:13:58.060
  • All, posed this question to jesus.
  • 00:13:58.060 --> 00:14:00.462
  • Look at verse 29.
  • 00:14:00.462 --> 00:14:01.830
  • "jesus, there were seven brothers and the first took a
  • 00:14:01.830 --> 00:14:06.869
  • Wife and he died childless.
  • 00:14:06.869 --> 00:14:08.904
  • So according to the law, the second took the wife and
  • 00:14:08.904 --> 00:14:13.208
  • Apparently he died childless.
  • 00:14:13.208 --> 00:14:15.844
  • And then the third took her.
  • 00:14:15.844 --> 00:14:17.479
  • And in the same way, all seven husbands died, leaving
  • 00:14:17.479 --> 00:14:21.617
  • No children.
  • 00:14:21.617 --> 00:14:22.985
  • Finally, the woman died also."
  • 00:14:22.985 --> 00:14:25.788
  • Probably out of exhaustion, we don't know.
  • 00:14:25.788 --> 00:14:27.556
  • But finally, the woman died also.
  • 00:14:27.556 --> 00:14:30.459
  • Now, here's the question: "in the resurrection," which we
  • 00:14:30.459 --> 00:14:35.230
  • Don't believe in.
  • 00:14:35.230 --> 00:14:36.598
  • "in the resurrection, jesus, which one's wife will she be,
  • 00:14:36.598 --> 00:14:40.970
  • For all seven had her as their wife?"
  • 00:14:40.970 --> 00:14:45.641
  • Now, there's a legitimate question in there somewhere.
  • 00:14:45.641 --> 00:14:49.545
  • Perhaps you've wondered the same thing.
  • 00:14:49.545 --> 00:14:51.280
  • Maybe you've lost your husband or wife.
  • 00:14:51.280 --> 00:14:54.083
  • Maybe you've remarried.
  • 00:14:54.083 --> 00:14:56.318
  • That's acceptable, that's good.
  • 00:14:56.318 --> 00:14:58.220
  • Romans 7, verse 2 says you are free to marry if your mate
  • 00:14:58.220 --> 00:15:01.957
  • Has died.
  • 00:15:01.957 --> 00:15:03.292
  • It's not good for a man or a woman to be alone.
  • 00:15:03.292 --> 00:15:05.160
  • That's fine.
  • 00:15:05.160 --> 00:15:06.495
  • But maybe in the back of your mind you've wondered, "okay, if
  • 00:15:06.495 --> 00:15:08.831
  • I have two or three natural husbands or wives when we get to
  • 00:15:08.831 --> 00:15:13.402
  • Heaven, you know, do i convert to mormonism or do i have to
  • 00:15:13.402 --> 00:15:17.639
  • Decide which one is gonna be my legitimate mate?
  • 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:21.143
  • Which one?"
  • 00:15:21.143 --> 00:15:22.511
  • That's a good legitimate question.
  • 00:15:22.511 --> 00:15:23.979
  • Notice how jesus responds to that question, which was an
  • 00:15:23.979 --> 00:15:27.516
  • Insincere question.
  • 00:15:27.516 --> 00:15:29.251
  • Jesus said to them, verse 34: "the sons of this age marry and
  • 00:15:29.251 --> 00:15:33.789
  • Are given in marriage.
  • 00:15:33.789 --> 00:15:35.424
  • But those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and
  • 00:15:35.424 --> 00:15:39.094
  • The resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in
  • 00:15:39.094 --> 00:15:42.898
  • Marriage for neither can they die anymore, for they are like
  • 00:15:42.898 --> 00:15:46.602
  • Angels and are sons of god being sons of the resurrection."
  • 00:15:46.602 --> 00:15:52.141
  • He said there's no marriage in heaven, there's no procreation
  • 00:15:52.141 --> 00:15:57.246
  • In heaven.
  • 00:15:57.246 --> 00:15:58.580
  • We become like the angels.
  • 00:15:58.580 --> 00:16:01.116
  • Notice he doesn't say we become angels.
  • 00:16:01.116 --> 00:16:04.353
  • Don't listen to the hollywood movies or the tv shows that say,
  • 00:16:04.353 --> 00:16:07.423
  • You know, we get our wings when we go to-- no, you don't get any
  • 00:16:07.423 --> 00:16:10.059
  • Wings when you go to heaven.
  • 00:16:10.059 --> 00:16:12.694
  • Only angels have wings.
  • 00:16:12.694 --> 00:16:14.730
  • Here's the way we are like angels though: we don't die
  • 00:16:14.730 --> 00:16:18.634
  • In heaven.
  • 00:16:18.634 --> 00:16:20.002
  • And therefore, because no believer dies, there's no need
  • 00:16:20.002 --> 00:16:22.971
  • For this procreation to continue the line of faith.
  • 00:16:22.971 --> 00:16:26.775
  • There's no death.
  • 00:16:26.775 --> 00:16:28.110
  • And so there's no need for marriage in heaven.
  • 00:16:28.110 --> 00:16:31.213
  • But then, notice what he says in verse 37.
  • 00:16:31.213 --> 00:16:33.549
  • He says, "and by the way, about this resurrection that you say
  • 00:16:33.549 --> 00:16:38.420
  • You don't believe in, the fact that the dead are raised," jesus
  • 00:16:38.420 --> 00:16:42.891
  • Says, "even moses believed in that.
  • 00:16:42.891 --> 00:16:46.295
  • In the passage about the burning bush where he calls the lord,
  • 00:16:46.295 --> 00:16:49.765
  • The god of abraham and the god of isaac and the god of jacob.
  • 00:16:49.765 --> 00:16:54.103
  • Now he is not the god of the dead, but of the living for all
  • 00:16:54.103 --> 00:16:58.006
  • Live to him."
  • 00:16:58.006 --> 00:16:59.408
  • You know what jesus was saying to the pharisees?
  • 00:16:59.408 --> 00:17:01.477
  • He said, "you don't believe in the resurrection?
  • 00:17:01.477 --> 00:17:03.579
  • Even in the first five books of the old testament, the ones you
  • 00:17:03.579 --> 00:17:06.949
  • Say you believe, you find the resurrection."
  • 00:17:06.949 --> 00:17:10.219
  • They probably said, "well, where is the resurrection in the
  • 00:17:10.219 --> 00:17:13.188
  • Torah, in the first five books?"
  • 00:17:13.188 --> 00:17:15.124
  • And jesus quotes the chapter and verse.
  • 00:17:15.124 --> 00:17:17.426
  • He said, "it's in the passage, exodus 3, verse 6.
  • 00:17:17.426 --> 00:17:20.863
  • When moses, the guy you all revere, sadducees,
  • 00:17:20.863 --> 00:17:24.433
  • When moses appeared before god,
  • 00:17:24.433 --> 00:17:26.768
  • And god was in the form of the burning bush."
  • 00:17:26.768 --> 00:17:29.238
  • Remember, moses asked, "who are you?"
  • 00:17:29.238 --> 00:17:32.040
  • And god identified himself as the great, what?
  • 00:17:32.040 --> 00:17:36.078
  • I am.
  • 00:17:36.078 --> 00:17:37.746
  • And he said, "i am the god of abraham, isaac, and jacob."
  • 00:17:37.746 --> 00:17:44.786
  • Now abraham, isaac, and jacob at that point had been dead for
  • 00:17:44.786 --> 00:17:47.923
  • Hundreds of years.
  • 00:17:47.923 --> 00:17:50.192
  • If there were no resurrection, if abraham, isaac, and jacob
  • 00:17:50.192 --> 00:17:54.763
  • Were just gone and ceased to exist, then what god should have
  • 00:17:54.763 --> 00:17:59.401
  • Said was, "i was the god of abraham, isaac, and jacob."
  • 00:17:59.401 --> 00:18:05.207
  • But the fact that god uses the present tense, "i am the god of
  • 00:18:05.207 --> 00:18:09.778
  • Abraham, isaac, and jacob," is proof that abraham, isaac, and
  • 00:18:09.778 --> 00:18:13.315
  • Jacob were still alive.
  • 00:18:13.315 --> 00:18:15.651
  • They were in heaven with god.
  • 00:18:15.651 --> 00:18:18.120
  • Isn't it interesting that jesus based the whole doctrine of the
  • 00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:22.324
  • Resurrection on the tense of one verb in the bible?
  • 00:18:22.324 --> 00:18:27.696
  • By the way, did you know jesus believed every word of this book
  • 00:18:27.696 --> 00:18:31.700
  • Is inspired of god?
  • 00:18:31.700 --> 00:18:33.035
  • It's not just the ideas, it's not just the thoughts, it's not
  • 00:18:33.035 --> 00:18:37.372
  • Even just the words.
  • 00:18:37.372 --> 00:18:38.807
  • It is the tense of the words that is all god-breathed.
  • 00:18:38.807 --> 00:18:44.346
  • Make no mistake about it: if you're a follower of christ,
  • 00:18:44.346 --> 00:18:47.749
  • You're gonna be in the hot seat at some point.
  • 00:18:47.749 --> 00:18:50.152
  • You're gonna face severe challenges and questionings
  • 00:18:50.152 --> 00:18:53.989
  • About your faith.
  • 00:18:53.989 --> 00:18:55.324
  • In fact, jesus predicted that in luke 21, verses 12 and 13.
  • 00:18:55.324 --> 00:18:59.561
  • "but before all these things," talking about the end times,
  • 00:18:59.561 --> 00:19:03.065
  • "they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you,
  • 00:19:03.065 --> 00:19:07.236
  • Delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before
  • 00:19:07.236 --> 00:19:11.506
  • Kings and governors for my name's sake."
  • 00:19:11.506 --> 00:19:14.810
  • It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony.
  • 00:19:14.810 --> 00:19:19.948
  • I believe that there's a day coming, even in america, where
  • 00:19:19.948 --> 00:19:23.552
  • This is gonna be true, when christians are gonna be brought
  • 00:19:23.552 --> 00:19:27.256
  • Before the court system to give an answer for what they believe.
  • 00:19:27.256 --> 00:19:31.627
  • And when that time comes, how should you respond?
  • 00:19:31.627 --> 00:19:35.530
  • Well, i think jesus gives us a great model for how to do that.
  • 00:19:35.530 --> 00:19:38.600
  • First of all, when you find yourself under severe
  • 00:19:38.600 --> 00:19:41.536
  • Questioning, first of all, be mindful.
  • 00:19:41.536 --> 00:19:45.374
  • Be mindful, be mindful of the other people who are listening
  • 00:19:45.374 --> 00:19:50.412
  • To how you answer.
  • 00:19:50.412 --> 00:19:51.747
  • It's not just the interrogators you need to direct your response
  • 00:19:51.747 --> 00:19:55.183
  • To, but others in that classroom who may not say a word,
  • 00:19:55.183 --> 00:20:00.322
  • To others in your workplace who may be listening
  • 00:20:00.322 --> 00:20:03.358
  • To your interchange.
  • 00:20:03.358 --> 00:20:05.327
  • I get asked all the time, you know, "why do you go on tv and
  • 00:20:05.327 --> 00:20:08.263
  • Debate these pinheads?
  • 00:20:08.263 --> 00:20:10.032
  • I mean, do you really think you're ever gonna
  • 00:20:10.032 --> 00:20:11.900
  • Convince them?"
  • 00:20:11.900 --> 00:20:13.235
  • No, i don't think i'm gonna convert the interviewer or my
  • 00:20:13.235 --> 00:20:16.238
  • Debate partner.
  • 00:20:16.238 --> 00:20:17.572
  • But i know there are millions of other people out there listening
  • 00:20:17.572 --> 00:20:20.709
  • Who need to hear a clear word.
  • 00:20:20.709 --> 00:20:23.011
  • Always be mindful, not just of the person you're interacting
  • 00:20:23.011 --> 00:20:26.081
  • With, but of those around you.
  • 00:20:26.081 --> 00:20:28.550
  • That's what jesus did.
  • 00:20:28.550 --> 00:20:30.052
  • Jesus directed his answers beyond the questioners and
  • 00:20:30.052 --> 00:20:34.022
  • Talked to the audience as a whole.
  • 00:20:34.022 --> 00:20:36.124
  • Secondly, in your answers and in your response, be biblical.
  • 00:20:36.124 --> 00:20:41.063
  • Be biblical.
  • 00:20:41.063 --> 00:20:43.231
  • Have you noticed in this passage how many times jesus quoted the
  • 00:20:43.231 --> 00:20:47.135
  • Old testament?
  • 00:20:47.135 --> 00:20:48.737
  • The foundation of his argument was always the bible, and it
  • 00:20:48.737 --> 00:20:53.875
  • Should be with us.
  • 00:20:53.875 --> 00:20:55.744
  • Does that mean all we do is quote bible verses?
  • 00:20:55.744 --> 00:20:58.880
  • No.
  • 00:20:58.880 --> 00:21:00.215
  • I mean, think about paul on mars hill in athens.
  • 00:21:00.215 --> 00:21:03.618
  • He was talking to a secular audience.
  • 00:21:03.618 --> 00:21:06.388
  • He used, in many ways, a secular argument relating to
  • 00:21:06.388 --> 00:21:10.726
  • Natural revelation.
  • 00:21:10.726 --> 00:21:12.828
  • He quoted authors, pagan authors, in his argument as well
  • 00:21:12.828 --> 00:21:17.766
  • As the word of god.
  • 00:21:17.766 --> 00:21:19.134
  • I'm not saying the only argument we use is the word of god, but
  • 00:21:19.134 --> 00:21:21.670
  • The foundation of our argument should be the word of god
  • 00:21:21.670 --> 00:21:25.140
  • Because the word of god, ladies and gentlemen, has the ability
  • 00:21:25.140 --> 00:21:28.977
  • To pierce a person's heart more than our words.
  • 00:21:28.977 --> 00:21:32.781
  • Hebrews 4:12 says, "for the word of god is living, it's active,
  • 00:21:32.781 --> 00:21:36.518
  • It's sharper than any two-edged sword.
  • 00:21:36.518 --> 00:21:38.887
  • And it's able to judge the thoughts and intentions of
  • 00:21:38.887 --> 00:21:42.157
  • The heart."
  • 00:21:42.157 --> 00:21:43.525
  • God's word has the power to penetrate a person's heart, to
  • 00:21:43.525 --> 00:21:46.995
  • Cut him open and expose his real beliefs and his
  • 00:21:46.995 --> 00:21:50.799
  • Real motivations.
  • 00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:52.834
  • You can argue against god's word.
  • 00:21:52.834 --> 00:21:54.669
  • But at least when you're using the bible as your argument,
  • 00:21:54.669 --> 00:21:58.140
  • People realize they're arguing with god's words and not yours.
  • 00:21:58.140 --> 00:22:02.177
  • Be biblical in your response.
  • 00:22:02.177 --> 00:22:03.845
  • And finally, be courageous when you find yourself in the
  • 00:22:03.845 --> 00:22:07.849
  • Hot seat.
  • 00:22:07.849 --> 00:22:09.217
  • I mean, think about jesus.
  • 00:22:09.217 --> 00:22:10.552
  • He knew that within just a few days these questioners were
  • 00:22:10.552 --> 00:22:13.422
  • Gonna come back at him and end up crucifying him.
  • 00:22:13.422 --> 00:22:17.492
  • Nevertheless, he did not flinch in fear.
  • 00:22:17.492 --> 00:22:21.229
  • He was courageous.
  • 00:22:21.229 --> 00:22:22.731
  • Why?
  • 00:22:22.731 --> 00:22:24.099
  • Because unlike the sadducees, jesus believed in
  • 00:22:24.099 --> 00:22:26.935
  • The resurrection.
  • 00:22:26.935 --> 00:22:28.270
  • He believed that one day god would rescue him from the grave.
  • 00:22:28.270 --> 00:22:32.040
  • And jesus understood the only person that really mattered is
  • 00:22:32.040 --> 00:22:35.477
  • God himself.
  • 00:22:35.477 --> 00:22:37.779
  • You know, as christians, we need to have the courage that comes
  • 00:22:37.779 --> 00:22:41.550
  • From realizing there is nobody on this planet who can do
  • 00:22:41.550 --> 00:22:45.220
  • Anything to really hurt us.
  • 00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:46.855
  • Have you-- have you come to realize that?
  • 00:22:46.855 --> 00:22:49.658
  • Do you realize when you think about it, there is nobody in
  • 00:22:49.658 --> 00:22:52.561
  • This world that can do anything of lasting consequence to you?
  • 00:22:52.561 --> 00:22:58.633
  • The only one who holds that power is god himself.
  • 00:22:58.633 --> 00:23:01.803
  • And that's why jesus said in matthew 10:28: "don't fear those
  • 00:23:01.803 --> 00:23:05.474
  • Who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul, but rather
  • 00:23:05.474 --> 00:23:10.278
  • Fear him who is able to destroy both the soul and the body
  • 00:23:10.278 --> 00:23:15.650
  • In hell."
  • 00:23:15.650 --> 00:23:18.820
  • Jesus is saying, "live your life for an audience of one."
  • 00:23:18.820 --> 00:23:24.426
  • There's only one being in this universe who has the power over
  • 00:23:24.426 --> 00:23:28.530
  • Your eternal soul, and it's god himself.
  • 00:23:28.530 --> 00:23:32.534
  • And living with that realization is the greatest help i know in
  • 00:23:32.534 --> 00:23:38.006
  • Keeping your cool when you find yourself in the hot seat.
  • 00:23:38.006 --> 00:23:42.711
  • ♪♪♪
  • 00:23:43.712 --> 00:23:48.283
  • Jeffress: jesus defended his authority with confidence
  • 00:23:48.283 --> 00:23:51.286
  • And strength.
  • 00:23:51.286 --> 00:23:52.888
  • While on the hot seat, he did nothing to diminish his deity.
  • 00:23:52.888 --> 00:23:57.158
  • Well, i'm grateful to report that "pathway to victory" is

  • To jerusalem to calvary and to the empty tomb.
  • 00:25:01.256 --> 00:25:05.894
  • Jeffress: through his incredible sacrifice, jesus conquered sin
  • 00:25:05.894 --> 00:25:09.064
  • And death once and for all.
  • 00:25:09.064 --> 00:25:11.199

  • Thank you for partnering with "pathway to victory" to share

  • The life-changing truth of the gospel this easter season.
  • 00:25:56.811 --> 00:26:00.882
  • Together, we are proclaiming the radical transforming power of
  • 00:26:00.882 --> 00:26:04.953
  • The cross of christ, the only hope for our beloved country
  • 00:26:04.953 --> 00:26:08.990
  • And world.
  • 00:26:08.990 --> 00:26:10.859
  • Jeffress: despite the pharisees' bad intentions, jesus still
  • 00:26:15.030 --> 00:26:18.600
  • Responded to their questions with patience.
  • 00:26:18.600 --> 00:26:21.803
  • And his example provides the perfect blueprint for what to do
  • 00:26:21.803 --> 00:26:25.640
  • When you find yourself in the hot seat.
  • 00:26:25.640 --> 00:26:28.977
  • Well, for generations upon generations, the feast of
  • 00:26:28.977 --> 00:26:32.313
  • Unleavened bread was the most significant feast in the
  • 00:26:32.313 --> 00:26:35.483
  • Jewish tradition.
  • 00:26:35.483 --> 00:26:36.951
  • And next time, we're going to look at how jesus gave the
  • 00:26:36.951 --> 00:26:40.155
  • Passover meal a whole new meaning.
  • 00:26:40.155 --> 00:26:42.891

  • Series, "the power of the cross."
  • 00:26:45.593 --> 00:26:48.697
  • Jeffress: if christianity were simply a manufactured myth, it
  • 00:26:49.998 --> 00:26:53.802
  • Would be a lot more grandiose than god coming in human form,
  • 00:26:53.802 --> 00:26:59.874
  • Dying on a wooden cross in some remote part of the earth.
  • 00:26:59.874 --> 00:27:03.978
  • But the fact is, that is the gospel and paul says, "although
  • 00:27:03.978 --> 00:27:08.383
  • That gospel is foolishness to those who are perishing, it's
  • 00:27:08.383 --> 00:27:13.188
  • The power of god unto salvation to everyone who believes."
  • 00:27:13.188 --> 00:27:17.826
  • Announcer: set your dvr and join us next time for the message,
