Matthew 22: 23-46 -- Trapping God
Who do we think we are? Do we think we can actually trap God with His own words, like He is senile and forgot the original meaning of what He said or wrote?
“God, you said this . . . but did you realize it could actually mean that?”
We become the ones with the mental problems. God cannot and will not be trapped. We just illustrate how idiotic we really are. The Sadducees don’t believe in the resurrection, but they ask Jesus a hypothetical about a thorny issue in the resurrection. The Pharisees don’t believe in Jesus’ power, but want Him to solve a mystery.
Jesus sees through the puny traps we lay down, sidesteps them and watches as we fall into them ourselves. Snap! The snare only hurts us.
