Matthew 22:15-22; Mark 12:13-17; Luke 20:20-26
It was Tuesday of the Lord's Passion Week. Following His series of three judgment parables (see Lessons 124 and 125), the religious rulers of Israel confronted Jesus with what we are calling three "loaded" questions. They were "loaded" in that they were purposely and maliciously designed to trap Him into condemning Himself by His responses. Little did those rulers realize how their "loaded" questions were actually fulfilled the divine purpose of examining the Passover Lamb!
As we look at these questions - in this lesson it is a politically loaded question asked by some Pharisees - and the Lord's amazing answers to them, we will see even His worst enemies could find NO FAULT in Him!! He was the SPOTLESS Lamb of God, Whose death and shed blood would totally satisfy the Father as the righteous payment for the sins of the world!
