Context Matters: Jesus’ Perspective on Scripture : Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 22:15-33

444// Context Matters: Jesus' Perspective on Scripture : Devotional, Bible Study, Matthew 22:15-33

In this episode, Rachael continues the devotional reading through the book of Matthew, focusing on the middle portion of chapter 22. The chapter begins with the Pharisees and Herodians plotting to trap Jesus with a tax question. Jesus responds with wisdom, revealing God’s heart in the process.

The Sadducees then question Jesus about the resurrection, and he reveals why it’s so important to read scripture in context of the entire storyline of Scripture.
