Tenant Or Owner

Jesus has authority over all things in Heaven and on Earth.
Jesus’s authority is from God the Father, not from man.
The religious leaders challenged Jesus’s authority because they
were afraid of Him, and they wanted Him dead.
Jesus used questions and parables as effective teaching
tools.
The Pharisees were not satisfied being tenants; they wanted to be
owners.
We have been entrusted as stewards of the Gospel.
God’s love and mercy are never-ending.
God is patient, not indifferent; there will be judgement.

1. Give an example of when you have challenged authority.
2. Are you fully surrendered to the authority of Jesus
Christ?
3. How have you responded to the Gospel?
a. Convicted and repentant?
b. Irritated and heart hardened?
c. Indifferent?
4. Challenge: Try reading through the Gospel and answering the
questions Jesus asked in your own words!
