Tuesday, February 12 - Matthew 22


Tuesday February 12th- Matthew 22

 

22: 1-14

This section describes a great banquet where the invited guests did not come. Did this ever happen to you? What did you do?

 

God invites all people to His wedding banquet, but not all come. Think about the far-reaching measure of God’s grace and how He has invited you.

 

Who is the man without wedding clothes? What does it say about the man that, though the master had wedding clothes, he did not bother to take them?

 

 

22:15-22 

How is our responsibility to earthly government established by God? How does our earthly responsibility pale in comparison to our heavenly responsibility?

 
22:23-33

 Why would the Saducees, who do not believe in the resurrection of the dead, ask Jesus this question?

 

What does Jesus mean when He says, “they will be like the angels in heaven?” Does this mean we will have wings and fly?

 

If the resurrection does not focus around marriage, what is the focus? (see v. 32)

22:34-40 

Jesus summarizes the Law by using the word “love.” To what extent is “love” an adequate summary of God’s Law? Can the Law be characterized as “loving?”

 
22: 41-46 

How can it be that Jesus is both the Son of David and the Lord of David? Think about the mystery of the incarnation, and ponder this question.
 

What attitude or conception of the Messiah do the people show in v. 42? Earthly king or heavenly king?
