Matthew 21 – The Listening Plan

Devotional

We have before us this week the beginning of the testing of Christ before His betrayal, arrest, trial, condemnation and death. In this passage He is effectively examined by the religious establishment of His day. I love in this section of Scripture, as Jesus always defeats His examiners by responding to their questions with questions.

In this is a good example we would do well to follow. Sometimes the best way to defeat an insincere examiner is to question the questions they raise.
