June 05, 2009 Why do you think the Saducees did not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
The Saducees considered themselves very wise and religious, Christ says that the scriptures were written so that the wise could not understand them, but so that those with the minds of babes would have God's word revealed to them.

May 31, 2009 Why did Jesus answer a question with a question, rather than just telling the Pharisees by what authority He acted?
Jesus wanted the Pharisees to commit themselves to one thing or the other, in front of the people, before He would answer their question because He could see through their hypocracy. Here He was trying to expose that hypocracy to the multitude.

May 29, 2009 Why did Jesus clear the temple in such a dramatic manner? Why did not he try to accomplish the same thing more diplomatically?
This incident, at the end of Christ's ministry on earth, and a similar in the begining, documented in John 2, are the only two times that Christ vents His wrath on sinners. Both events, as with His whole life on earth, were fulfillment of prophecy. Once the temple was purged of the evil doers, He returned to His loving ways and healed many people in the temple - to the chagrin of the Pharisees present.

May 26, 2009 In what ways did Jesus serve when He was on earth? In what ways is He still serving now?
Jesus served by doing many miracles and healings, and above all, by giving His life on the cross that we might all be cleansed from our sins. He continues to serve whenever we commemorate the Lord's supper, and by interceeding for us to God the Father.
