Hypocrisy and Rebellion Confronted

Mark 11:27-12:12 - In this section of Mark, Jesus overturns the trap that the religious leaders have laid for him and exposes their own hypocrisy. But he doesn't stop there. He tells them a parable that presents them as continuing a long tradition of rebellion against God. These confrontations are important steps that move him closer to the cross--the very place where the judgment and forgiveness of such rebellion is accomplished. A sermon by Josh Wilder.
