The religious leaders confronted Jesus in the temple, questioning his authority. Jesus responded with a parable about a vineyard owner who sent servants and sons to the tenants but they were rejected and killed. The parable revealed the spiritual condition of the religious leaders and that they would reject God's messengers, including his son Jesus. Opposition was expected as Jesus' ministry intensified, fulfilling prophecies of his rejection, trial and death in Jerusalem that coming week.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

4. Introduction
• Today we will meet the Religious leader
and witness their conflict with Jesus. They
challenge Him because he had cleansed the
temple and calls them “thieves.” They tried
to catch Jesus in His words so they could
trump up some charge against Him and
have Him arrested.
4
5. Mark 11:27-33
27
And they came again to Jerusalem.
And as He was walking in the
temple, the chief priests, and
scribes, and elders came to Him, 28
and began saying to Him, "By what
authority are You doing these
things, or who gave You this
authority to do these things?"
5
6. Mark 11:27-33
29
And Jesus said to them, “ I will ask
you one question, and you answer
Me, and then I will tell you by what
authority I do these things. 30 "Was
the baptism of John from heaven, or
from men? Answer Me." 31 And
they began reasoning among
6
7. Mark 11:27-33
themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From
heaven,' He will say, 'Then why did you
not believe him?' 32 "But shall we say,
'From men'?" — they were afraid of the
multitude, for all considered John to
have been a prophet indeed. 33 And
answering Jesus, they said, "We do not
know." And Jesus said to them,
7
8. Mark 11:33-12:12
"Neither will I tell you by what authority I do
these things. 1 And He began to speak to
them in parables: "A man planted a
vineyard, and put a wall around it, and dug
a vat under the wine press, and built a
tower, and rented it out to vine-growers
and went on a journey. 2 "And at the
harvest time he sent a
8
9. Mark 12:1-12:12
slave to the vine-growers, in order to
receive some of the produce of the
vineyard from the vine-growers. 3
"And they took him, and beat him, and
sent him away empty-handed. "And
again he sent them another slave, and
they wounded him in the head, and
treated him shamefully.
9
10. Mark 12:1-12
5
"And he sent another, and that one
they killed; and so with many others,
beating some, and killing others. 6 "He
had one more to send, a beloved son;
he sent him last of all to them, saying,
'They will respect my son.’
10
11. Mark 12:1-12
7
"But those vine-growers said to one
another, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill
him, and the inheritance will be ours!' 8
"And they took him, and killed him, and
threw him out of the vineyard. 9 "What will
the owner of the vineyard do? He will
come and destroy the vine-growers, and
will give the vineyard to others.
11
12. Mark 12:1-12
10
"Have you not even read this Scripture:
'The stone which the builders
rejected,
This became the chief corner stone;
11 This came about from the Lord,
12
13. Mark 12:1-12
And it is marvelous in our eyes'?
12 And they were seeking to seize Him; and
yet they feared the multitude; for they
understood that He spoke the parable
against them. And so they left Him, and
went away.
Parable reveals the sad spiritual condition
of the Religious leaders.

20. 2.The Confrontation.
– Religious Ruling Group challenge
Jesus in the Temple while He is
Teaching. Matthew 21:23; Luke 20:1.
Both state that Jesus was teaching
when confronted.
– Public Arena. Many People.
20
21. 2. The Confrontation.
• The Chief Priests, Scribes and Elders
challenge Jesus publically in the
Temple. “By what authority are You
doing these things…”
21
22. 2. The Confrontation.
• Question: Acts 4:7 “By what power,
or what name have you done this?
• Answer: Acts 4:10 “Let it be
known…by the name of Jesus…”
22
23. 3.The Response.
– A Question with a Question.
– Jesus did not get defensive or
angry but stated in the clearest
terms I will answer…
23
24. 3. The Response.
• Jesus was faced with opposition. He did a few
significant things in response to the criticism.
• He persisted. He didn’t buckle under the
pressure or the large number of religious
leaders. Jesus stayed the course. He didn’t
quit.
• He taught them (parable). He didn’t give up
on them. Jesus didn’t retaliate, He saw this a
teaching opportunity.
24
25. 3. The Response.
• He did not quit.
• He stood His ground.
• He did not crumble under the
pressure tactics.
• He kept His composure and
responded in a calm fashion.
25
26. POINT:
• The intensified opposition calls for an
intensified response.
• Note: Jesus response: twice He used the
imperative. He commanded them to
answer Him.
• Remember that this is Tuesday and in
three days He will die on the cross. He
was God in flesh and know well this
very fact.
26
27. 3. The Response.
• What prompted the opposition of the
chief priests, scribes and elders? The
progress and influence Jesus had on
the people. Two days earlier he arrived
to the cheering crowds of entry into
Jerusalem.
27
28. "By what authority?" Mmmm ...
interesting question isn't it. By what
authority (power) did Jesus do all
that he does in his ministry? This is the
quintessential question of the Gospel.
This is the ultimate question each of us
must ask.
28
29. Did Jesus do what he did based on the
authority of God, as God's Son? Or was
Jesus just another crackpot Messiah?
What do you think? Either we
recognize Jesus as Lord with all
authority or we do not.
29
30. The real question for us is whether we
are ready to submit to that authority!
30
31. Principles Learned
1. Opposition is to be expected when you carry out
God’s will.
2. Critics run with critics.
3. Jesus Faced criticism squarely.
4. Jesus refused to retaliate or defend Himself
5. Religious leaders intensified their opposition
(11:18). There are times when opposition doesn’t
die down—it intensifies. They planned a
conspiracy.
6. Did Jesus finish well? If you focus only on Friday
then NO. But His apparent failure was turned to
success three days later.
31
32. Application
What do we do when a harsh word is
spoke to you? Do we shout louder?
If you want wisdom in knowing how to
handle any opposition, drop to your
knees. James 1:5 says if you need
wisdom, ask God for it.
32
33. Jesus showed authority.
Jesus speaks almost always of his authority
in terms of acting for God the Father. In
doing so he exercises all the prerogatives of
God e.g., forgives sins (Mark 2:5-8), heals
(Mark 1:34), exorcises demons (Mark 1:27),
controls the power of nature (Luke 8:2425), raises the dead (Luke 7:11-17; John
11:38-44), teaches with authority (Mt. 7:2829;
33
34. Jesus showed authority
and demands that men submit to his
authority both on earth (Luke 14:25-35)
and at the judgment (Matt. 7:22-23). As the
obedient Son he acknowledges and follows
the word of his Father, the Scriptures, and
appeals to them as the final authority
(Matt. 4:1-10; 22:23-46; John 10:33-36).
34
36. Quote
• “ Give authority to some people and
they grow; give it to others and they
swell.”
• There are proper uses of authority
and abuses.
36
37. Take Away #1
Expect Opposition:
• Jesus had already told the 12 to expect
conflict and suffering when they arrived
in Jerusalem. “…the Son of man must
suffer many things, and be rejected by
the elders and the chief priests and the
scribes, and be killed, and after 3 days
rise again.” 8:31
37
38. Take Away #2
Tough days, We all have them. Some are worse
than others.
• Going from bad to worse.
• Jumping from the frying pan into the fire.
• Between a rock and a hard place.
• He said, “Cheer up, things could get worse.”
So I cheered up—and sure enough, things got
worse.
• My mother told me there would be days like
these, but she never said they would run in
packs.
38
39. Take Away #3
Anyone who steps into the arena of leadership
must be prepared to pay a price. True leadership
exacts a heavy toll on the whole person—and
the more effective the leadership, the higher the
price. The leader must soon face the fact he will
be the target of critical darts. Unpleasant though
it may sound, you haven’t really led until you
have become familiar with the stinging barbs of
the critic. Good leaders must have thick skin.
39
40. 2 Corinthians 4:8-10
8 we are afflicted in every way, but not
crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; 9
persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down,
but not destroyed; 10 always carrying about
in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life
of Jesus also may be manifested in our
body.
40
41. Quote
“No leader is exempt from criticism,
and his humility will nowhere be
seen more clearly than in the
manner in which he accepts and
reacts to it.”
J. Oswald Sanders
41
42. Prayer…
Almighty God, I believe Jesus has all
authority. I want to live more and
more each day under that
authority, yielding to His will and
doing His work in the world. In
Jesus' precious and powerful name I
pray. Amen.
