The Pharisees consulted how they might trap Jesus with His words.
Do you act like that; are you a fault-finder trying to find something someone does wrong so that you can accuse them?
Why don't you now seek for something good to appreciate in people?
They asked Jesus whether they were to pay taxes or not. Jesus asked for a coin because He didn't have one in His pocket; He asked whose image and superscription it was and then concluded that we should pay taxes to the revenue authorities and give to God what belongs to God.
The Sadducees then asked about a woman who was married to seven brothers and they all died with children; who's wife she would be in the resurrection and Jesus answered that they erred or mistaked because they didn't know the scriptures or the power of God.
How much of the bible do you know? How much of God's power have you experienced?
The less you know the bible, the more you will mistake what you do or think is God's will will only be based on assumptions not what the scriptures says. God's power is experienced when we seek Him wholeheartedly.
The more wholehearted you are, the more you will experience Gods power.
You have been a Christian for all those years and you still don't know the scriptures and Gods power; repent from that and seriously study the scriptures not just selected portions. Start reading the new testament from the beginning. Seek the Lord to experience His resurrection power which will help you love an overcoming life always.
God is God of the living not the dead. People were amazed hearing Jesus speak. Their hearts burnt as they listened to him simply because God backed Him up and He only taught what He had already practiced.
Seek God's approval on your life and ministry. That is what will make a difference. People's hearts will burn as they listen to you, not only while preaching, but even on other days.
The Pharisees came again and a lawyer asked Him which is the greatest commandment and He said loving God with all your heart, soul, mind amd strength and loving your neighbour as yourself.
Is this the most important commandment to you?
Have you made it your ambition in life that this is what you will pursue until death? If not you have been sidetracked; Get back on track; go for the main goal.
Loving God = keeping His commandments. John 14:15,21
Loving your neighbour= doing for them what you would like them do unto you. Mat 7:12
Jesus asked them who's Christ was and answered David. Jesus asked how He was His son since He was inspired to call Him Lord and they couldn't answer.
Even today God can give you wisdom to silence your enemies and the fault-finders. Seek Him.
You are blessed to be a blessing
