Let God Speak! Mark's Gospel

  Day 37: Mark 11:27-33
The Authority of Jesus Questioned

This is now Tuesday in the last week of Jesus’ earthly life. Imagine the scene for yourself where Jesus arrives back in the Gentile area of the temple after turning out the moneychangers on the previous day. He is questioned directly by the elders of Israel who were lay representatives of  the Sanhedrin (the supreme court of Israel) who judged the most difficult cases that affected Jewish life. The chief priests, including Caiaphas the ruling high priest, and the teachers of the law were all part of the Sanhedrin.  Jesus’ answer only deepens their belief that he is a threat to their authority. However, Jesus moves on to a full day of teaching and no one tries to stop him

Consider how Jesus answers the leaders. This is an example of wisdom and Jesus used it a lot.

Are there any situations in your life that need wisdom?
Have a look at James 1:5-6.
