Destructiveness of Spiritual Showmanship Pt.1 (Mark 12:38-40)
It is still Tuesday of Passion week and Jesus has been doing a lot of exposing and teaching before His crucifixion just a couple days away. Jesus’s teachings all point to Him being God in the flesh from His authority being in question and showing that it comes from heaven (11:27-33), Being the cornerstone and Son of God the builders rejected (12:1-12), giving back to God what belongs to Him, which is our very lives that have been created in His image (12:13-17), the need to know the scriptures and the power of God through a personal relationship with God (12:18-27), to love God with everything (12:29-34), and to know the Christology of the Messiah (Jesus) (12:35-37), which all exposed the hearts of the religious leaders who attempted to entrap Jesus and discredit Him.
