To Summarize... - Part 5
Matthew 22:46
10/09/2026
46 And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from
that day did anyone dare to ask him any more
questions. (ESV)
This week we have prayed that the Holy Spirit guide us so
that we delight in God's law, living to serve Him by loving our
neighbor.
O God, because without You we are not able to please
You, mercifully grant that Your Holy Spirit may in all
things direct and rule our hearts.
On the last visit Jesus made to the Temple before His
crucifixion, He clearly summarized both the law and the Gospel.
He taught that the Bible is the inspired Word of God.
Did the Pharisees repent? Did they turn from their selfish
desires and embrace the Word of God, recognizing the Son of God
as their Redeemer from sin and death? Will you take these words
to heart, or will you act like those who ultimately put Jesus to
death for speaking the truth?
``And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that
day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.''
Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Today you
have heard the good news that Jesus is the Son of God, sent by
the Father to bear the price of your sin. Today you have heard
the Word of God, written by men inspired by the Holy Spirit, so
that you may have eternal life.
Do you wish to know more? Join us this Sunday at 9:00 a.m.
at Trinity Lutheran Church as we learn more of God's love, grace,
and mercy.
God grant this for Jesus' sake. Amen.
