Testing The Lamb: Priests And Elders

Entering Jerusalem as He did isn’t the end of the story. Unfortunately, in its modern-day observance of Passion Week, it jumps from there right to the crucifixion. Palm Sunday → Good Friday. That is the result of the early church deciding not to follow the Jewish calendar. That decision was made at the Council of Nicea in 325 AD (It was a symptom of a deeper problem). What actually happened after the Triumphal Entry is that He went back and forth from Bethany to Jerusalem every day, and entered into dialogue (confrontation-attack) with four different groups: The Priests and the elders The Pharisees and the Herodians The Sadducees The Pharisees (take one more shot) The Priests and the Elders (Matthew 21:23-22:14) So, the first line of attack comes from the priests and the elders and the question that is at issue is His AUTHORITY. And it’s worth our time to pause for a moment and ponder the question of authority.

Many Christians struggle to make sense of the Old Testament, or quietly wonder if it still matters. Many Jewish people have never seriously considered Jesus. But what if the two parts of the story were never meant to be separated? Hosted by Jewish followers of Jesus, Matt and Ron Davis, this podcast connects the Hebrew Scriptures with the hope of Messiah found in the New Testament. We tell the story of Israel and help Israel tell her story. God made a promise. God keeps His promises. He’s not done with Israel. And neither are we.
