Study 50 From
The Book of Luke Is:
Luke
20:27-21:4
1. 20:27-40. The Sadducees repudiated the
doctrine of a life after death, both because of the practical difficulties it
involved, and because it was not taught in the Five Book of Moses, which they
regarded as the only authority. How did
Jesus meet their objections on both grounds? Cf. Mk. 12:24.
2. 21:1-4. What does God look for in those who
make gifts for His work? Cf. 2 Cor.
8:12. Contrast these verses with 20:46, 47.
3. 20:41-44. ‘Son of David’ as a title for the
Messiah carried the implication of a national, political deliverer. What does
Jesus here tech about the true status of the Messiah, and about the character
of His reign?
Note. 20:37, 38. God’s covenant with those who are His is such that
death cannot break it. If He is still
called the God of Abraham, then Abraham cannot be dead.
