After Jesus answered the Jerusalem authorities who came to him to discredit him, he posed a question to them. This is the most important question any person can answer because how we answer this question is the difference between life and death. We need to know what it means that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. And we need to be assured he is ruling now as the exalted king.
The text is Matthew 22:41-46.
We will consider these four points:
1. The most important question.
2. The Jewish misunderstanding of the messiah.
3. The great mystery of the gospel.
4. The implications for our faith today.
