It is a wonder that the Jewish leaders of various strata still try to trip Jesus up. And to think that the religious leaders would partner with the Herodians associated with King Herod. A common threat, Jesus, makes strange associations in the common interest of seeing Him discredited. But how brilliant Jesus’ responses are to all of them. He tears down their arguments with just a few phrases and confronts them at the same time, especially with the Sadducees. And I hope all of us are struck with the level and depth of love that Jesus asks of us. It only makes sense that we would respond to His love for us in this way.
