In this sermon from Luke 20:19-44, Pastor Jamie follows Jesus through three traps set by the religious leaders in the temple courts: a question about paying tribute to Caesar, a resurrection riddle from the Sadducees, and Jesus' own question about how the Christ can be both David's son and David's Lord. Drawing on Exodus 3, Psalm 110, Acts 2, and 1 Corinthians 15, he shows that Caesar has a real but limited claim, that death rules this age but not the age to come, and that God is not the God of the dead but of the living. Jesus is not merely a good teacher in David's line. He is the risen King seated at the Father's right hand, actively putting His enemies under His feet until the last enemy, death, is destroyed. The good news is that we bear God's image, so He has the ultimate claim on us, which frees us to pay our bills, engage in elections, and love our neighbors without letting money, fear, politics, or death rule over us.
