Matthew 21:22-22:14 – Jesus The Controversialist Pt 1

Psalm 118:1-29

Matthew 21:22-22:14

Increasing tension

Whose authority?

Parable #1 – The Two Sons
…all the right noises BUT there was no action

those you would least expect.. the tax collectors and the prostitutes put their trust in Jesus
Matthew 21:45 …knew this parable was speaking about them

Parable #2 – The Tenants
… the kingdom of God will be taken from them and given to another.
Psalm 118
stone = ’eben
… son = ben.
… the Kingdom of God will be taken away from them and will be given to people who will produce its fruit.

Parable #3 – The Wedding banquet
… the Kingdom of God is immanent

Verse 11 … not wearing wedding clothes.
… you come to the wedding based on his terms.
= The stone the builders rejected
= only for those who come through Jesus.

For us today
1) A terrible end

2) A Generous King

3) On God’s terms

4) Producing fruit matters
