Matthew 22:15-33

Death and Taxes

Sermon Date

As we work our way through Matthew's gospel, Chapters 21-23 give us a number of confrontations that Jesus has with the religious leaders of  His day. Jesus has communicated to them three parables that expose their long history of rejecting God's messengers. Two of these parables also prophetically foretell the judgment the Jewish nation would face in rejecting Jesus, their Messiah.

Here in verse 15, the religious leaders respond with a series of questions to attempt to test and hopefully trap Jesus in His words.  The first one is regarding taxes, the second is in regard to the resurrection of the dead.
