Open Resurrection Egg 3 again
Option 1 - Play Jenga or Build a tower and try to take out one of the foundation stones. Jesus says He was the chief cornerstone. This was the stone that laid the foundation for a building and was the one from which they measured and planned out the rest of the building. Jesus is telling the people that in not believing Him, they are rejecting the most important part of the building, Him.
Option 2- Look at the 3 main conversations/questions in this passage and break them apart. Download the 3 column chart.
Scribes, Chief Priests, and elders 20:2 Tell us by what authority you are doing these things? They attack Jesus’ authority.
Scribes and chief priests’ spies- 20: 22 Is it lawful for us to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? They attack Jesus’ ownership/God’s stewardship given to Jesus.
Sadducee- 20:28 Regarding the woman who married seven brothers, In the resurrection therefore, which one’s wife will she be? They mock Jesus’ power and plan for Resurrection.
