Luke 20:1-8
There are two types of
questions. First is the information seeking question. That would be a question
like “What time is it?” The individual is truly seeking information that they
do not have. The second kind is the challenging question. That is the question
that is not seeking information but rather to challenge someone, like “Who do
you think you are?” Jesus faced such questions from the Chief Priest and the
experts of the law. Instead of answering the question, he redirected the Chief
Priest and his gang. The problem was not where Jesus’ authority came from, but
rather that they were losing theirs.
What was Jesus doing at the
beginning of passage? What does this tell you about Jesus? How did the people
see Jesus?
What motivated the Chief
Priest to questioned Jesus in the matter?
Why do you think that Jesus
redirects the question?
What does the thinking process
of the Chief Priest tells you about him and his motivations?
How are you like the Chief
Priest in this story?
