Notes

Matthew 22:1–14

In this parable, Israel had often rejected God’s message in the past. In the same way, Israel rejected the Messiah and faced judgment. In Israel’s place, God raised up the church (Matthew 16:17–19; 21:43). God also expects the church to live in righteousness (Romans 11:11–24).

Matthew 21:28–22:14

Three parables expose the guilt of those who rejected the Messiah and lost their special status as God's chosen people. God now considers only those who accept Jesus as the Messiah as his people.

Matthew 21:23–22:46

This section focuses on how Jewish leaders challenged the authority of Jesus. Each time, the wisdom of Jesus revealed their lack of spiritual understanding. These debates also revealed the status of Jesus as the Messiah and the consequences of rejecting him. Sadly, the leaders became more resistant with each encounter and plotted to kill Jesus (Matthew 21:23, 46; 22:15–17, 23, 34, 41).
