A Fool’s Errand (Matthew 22:15-33)

The leaders of Israel are trying as hard as they can to silence Christ. They perceive Christ to be a trouble maker rather than the Lord of life. They do not see the kingdom and all they want to do is undermine Christ. The pharisees send their disciples to do their dirty work only to further expose themselves as hypocrites. The Sadducees try to finish the job only to expose their ignorance. How does one view the mission and ministry of Christ? Where is the hope of the gospel?
