Dear Brothers, Sisters, Prodigals and
Unsaved,
Our Lessons in Matthew will always
contain topics such as; Living a Godly Life today, Healings, Miracles,
Deliverance and more. Today we'll learn; through
His Word, what the Bible reveals to us, i.e., Parable of Marriage Feast, Tribute
To Caesar, and Jesus Answers
The Sadducee's.
There is always
more to learn..., - Abba [God], wants to reveal Himself to you. Knowing that the truth will set you FREE. That's why Jesus, through His Word, reveals what
His Father [Abba] told Him daily, to say and do. The World, is the twerp's [satan's]
playground. But if you know your authority, he can't play with you.
To shorten these Chapters, I'm going to list the scripture, for those of you who do not have a Bible, but only comment on the verses that I feel need more explanation for today.

Parable Of The Marriage Feast:
[Matthew 22:1-14 NKJV] 1 "And Jesus
answered and spoke to them again by parables and said: 2 "The kingdom of
heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, 3 "and sent out
his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were
not willing to come. 4
"Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "See, I
have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle [are] killed, and all things
[are] ready. Come to the wedding." ' 5 "But they made light of it and went their ways, one to his
own farm, another to his business. 6 "And the rest seized his [kings] servants,
treated [them] spitefully, and killed [them]. 7 "But when the king
heard [about it], he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those
murderers, and burned up their city. 8 "Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9 'Therefore go
into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.' 10 "So those
servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found,
both bad and good. And the wedding [hall] was filled with guests. 11 "But when the
king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. 12 "So he said to him,
'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was
speechless. 13 "Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and
foot, take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth.' 14
"For many are called, but few [are] chosen."
* Verses 1-2 Why was it important that Jesus spoke to the crowed in parables? Jesus was preparing them to learn how the old ways mislead them in the Sadducees, Pharisees and Scribes interpretations. The best way to speak so they would understand was in a story format. That's why it's so important for us to understand the principals Jesus taught us to use today.
* Verses 3-4 Anyone who is having a celebration, sends out invitations and prepares the food and drinks for them - but they refused to come. Back then, having a celebration, meant having a feast, usually for days and being invited by a king is quite an honor, few would turn down.
Isn't that like Christ, giving us an invitation to be Redeemed through Him, and in Revelation Chapters 1-3, it speaks of the seven churches, 2 of the 7, got ATTA-Boy for doing what's right and pleasing Abba, the rest had a "but this I have against you? I know the churches do not exist today, but I wonder how many others made the changes and are in Heaven?
* Verses 5-7 Our Father in Heaven [Abba] does not give up easily, because: He's NOT A QUITTER. This should also be our standard. Things may not always be easy, but "greater is God in you, then he that's in the world. And Jesus already won for us. Those invited, killing the kings servants in a rage of disgust, are hardly acceptable to any decent human being. Keep in mind, my favorite saying in Luke 6:38-39 "as you give, so shall you receive". Abba destroyed those men, and cities who killed the kings servants.
We should be acting as VICTORS - not doubting Thomas', because we are VICTORIOUS in Christ Jesus!
[2 Peter 3:9 NKJV] "The Lord is not slack concerning [His] promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."
No matter where you are in your life, or whatever you've done, He's waiting for you to return. Read Luke 15:11-32 How long does the Father wait, then rejoices when his son returns. Abba feels the same way. Unfortunately the main solitary reason, to keep you out of Heaven, is when you stop breathing - that's when it's to late to make your choice.
* Verses 8-10 Like this king, Abba feels the same way - a wedding banquet will be held for those who will enter Heaven. He's going to rejoice for those of us, who choose to freely accept His only begotten Son, Jesus into their life - others are not worthy to come. His servants [us] who preach/teach or share the Gospel to the world and they accept Jesus - even the imperfect ones, will be guests at His feast. That's why it's so important we DO NOT hide the light of Christ within us. or under a bushel.
* Verses 11-14 No matter how good or bad you may be, YOU MUST be washed in the Blood of Christ. That's what makes you without spot or wrinkle, your clothes acceptable for a wedding feast or you will be cast into the outer darkness, where weeping and gnashing teeth are suffering [hell].
[Ephesians5:27 NKJV] "that He might
present her [us] to Himself a glorious church, not
having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and
without blemish."
As in 2 Peter 3:9 above, everyone is called, but few are chosen - why? Because they refused the invitation. Abba is not a dictator, but a loving God - who freely gives you a choice, where you will spend eternity. Everyone, from the least to the greatest will hear His name that's a promise from Abba in - Hebrews 8:11-12 and:
[Jeremiah 31:34 NKJV] "No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."
Did you notice, we get an extra benefit - He will remember our sin NO MORE! What a GOOD GOD we have!

22:15-22 Tribute To Caesar:
[Matthew 22:15-22 NKJV] 15 "Then
the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in [His] talk.
16 And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying,
"Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth;
nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men. 17
"Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to
pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" 18 But Jesus perceived their
wickedness, and said, "Why do you test Me, [you] hypocrites?
19 "Show Me the tax money." So they brought Him a
denarius. 20 And He said to them, "Whose image and
inscription [is] this?" 21 They said to Him, "Caesar's."
And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the
things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." 22
When they had heard [these words], they marveled, and left Him and went
their way.."
* Verses 15-16 The Pharisees are a great bunch of men aren't they? Jesus was not only tempted by the twerp [satan] for 40 days/nights, but now by the so called "religious men" of His day as well. First they flatter Jesus of how knowledgeable He is, then ask His opinion on the Law. Jesus never claimed to be a lawyer. It's a fact He had little appreciation for them.
A Denarius Means: = equivalent to a days wages.
* Verses 17- 18 These Pharisees must have been lawyers, "is it lawful or not" that's the only way they "thought" they could test/entangle Jesus' with His knowledge and win - ha! Jesus could have easily said, it's not Abba's will, that you teach what you're not willing to do yourself. There are 55 "Woes" in the Bible concerning; lawyers, evil destroyers, thieves, rich men, wicked men, those who strayed from Abba, quarrel with Abba, shepherds who scatter His sheep, and the list goes on and on...
[Luke 11:46 NKJV] And He said, "Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers."
* Verses 19-22 I like that Jesus doesn't just tell the Pharisees, but gives an example for those around Him, revealing how it should be. I'm sure Abba already planned to give us the Holy Spirit; to teach, guide, comfort and bring to our remembrance His Word - when we need it. Truthfully, there are days when I feel sorry for the Holy Spirit, because He's stuck on earth with us - when I'm sure, His heart is with Jesus and the Father in Heaven.
Jesus knew what they were doing, and even called them hypocrites in front of everyone. The picture on that coin was of Caesar, so Jesus said, pay him what's due him. But just as importantly, give to God, what's due God. Just as we should pay the taxes of our countries. The best they could do at that point is to marvel, that Jesus knew the correct answer, both legally and spiritually. If you're having trouble financially to pay your taxes or medical bills, or whatever money you need, try asking Abba for HELP - He loves to bless us the tithers and those who give offerings to help others - no matter the amount look how the widow was blessed.
[Luke 21:1-4 NKJV] 1 "And He [Jesus] looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. 3 So He said, "Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; 4 "for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had."
She didn't give because she had to, but because she wanted to. Do you think, she believed Abba would take care of her needs, because she was faithful? The Lord doesn't ask for more than you have. But if you tithe or gave an offering - He truly LOVES a cheerful giver. So if you need help, ask Him for it.
A Mite Means: = 1/2 of a penny 2 mites = 1 penny
* Verses 15-16 The Pharisees are a great bunch of men aren't they? Jesus was not only tempted by the twerp [satan] for 40 days/nights, but now by the so called "religious men" of His day as well.

22:23-46 Jesus Answers The Sadducee's:
·
[Matthew 22:23-46 NKJV] 23 "The
same day the Sadducee's, who say there is no resurrection,
came to Him and asked Him, 24 saying: "Teacher,
Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his
wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 25 "Now
there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and
having no offspring, left his wife to his brother. 26 "Likewise the
second also, and the third, even to the seventh. 27 "Last of
all the woman died also. 28 "Therefore, in the
resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all
had her." 29 Jesus answered and said to them, "You
are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30
"For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage,
but are like angels of God in heaven. 31 "But concerning the
resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God,
saying, 32 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the
God of Jacob'? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."
33 And when the multitudes heard [this], they were astonished at
His teaching. 34 But when the Pharisees heard that He had
silenced the Sadducee's, they gathered together. 35 Then
one of them, a lawyer, asked [Him a question], testing Him,
and saying, 36 "Teacher, which [is] the great commandment in
the law?" 37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love
the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul,
and with all your mind.' 38 "This is [the]
first and great commandment. 39 "And [the] second [is] like
it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 "On these
two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." 41 While
the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, 42 saying,
"What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He?" They said
to Him, "[The Son] of David." 43 He said to them,
"How then does David in the Spirit call Him 'Lord,' saying: 44
'The LORD said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your
enemies Your footstool" ' ? 45 "If David then calls
Him 'Lord,' how is He his Son?" 46 And no
one was able to answer Him a word, nor from that day on did anyone dare
question Him anymore."
* Verses 23-27 No break for Jesus - tested again the same day, only by the Sadducee's, who do not believe in a resurrection. The old testament [OT] does say IF:
In Deuteronomy 25:5 it says, IF brothers dwell together. But here in Matthew22:24 it does not -
in fact it says they must have a child with the dead brothers wife, to carry on
his legacy. There must be a difference
between the OT and the New Testament [NT].
In both cases, a brother still must marry his brothers wife to carry on
the dead brothers legacy. The principal
is the same, just the condition of the brothers dwelling together is not.
That poor woman, she had to go through 6 brothers, then she died.
[Matthew22:28
NKJV] 28 "Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife
of the seven will she be? For they all had her." 29 Jesus answered and said to them,
"You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.
30 "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given
in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven."
* Verses 28-30 In resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? No Ones! Again, Jesus in front of the multitude, let the people know they didn't understand the scriptures. For in the resurrection, they do not marry, but become angels of God.
So we will not be married in Heaven, just angels of God to help in the millennium.
* Verses 31-33 Abba said, "I AM the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob," Even though all 3 have been with the Lord for years. Yet Abba referred to them as if they were still alive. Remember Paul's confident words?
I believe the reason the people were astonished, was because they never heard anyone so confident in what He said life in Heaven would be like - as if He was there, and we know He was.
Paul wrote,[2 Corinthians 5:8 NKJV] "We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord."
We are accounted only once to die then it's Heaven or Hell we go to. Like Paul, I'm confident that when we are raptured, we will NOT DIE even the one time! Unlike the multitudes, I was not astonished - JUST HAPPY TO SEE IT IN THE WORD!
* Verses 34-40 I can hear the Pharisees saying, we weren't the only ones wrong - Jesus embarrassed the Sadducee's too! Can the lawyer get Jesus? Does Jesus know the greatest commandment in the law?
Of course He does! LOVE the Lord, your God with ALL your heart, soul and mind. That's the first - but don't forget the 2nd one; LOVE your neighbor as yourself. On those two commandments, you will obey the Law and the Prophets. It's a TRUE saying, LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND. But don't forget, Abba LOVED YOU FIRST.
* Verses 41-46 While the Pharisees were gathered, Jesus tested them, saying "What do you think about the Christ? Whose Son is He? Of course they knew, that Jesus was born in the tribe ofJudah
Jesus then asked, if that's true, why did David in the Spirit call Jesus "LORD" speaking "The Lord said to my Lord,"
[Psalm 110:1-2 NKJV] 1 A Psalm of David. The LORD [God] said to my Lord [Jesus], "Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool." 2 The LORD shall send the rod of Your strength out ofZion
Yes, David called Jesus his Lord. But David was talking about Abba saying to Jesus, watch while you sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies Your footstool.
[Romans 16:19-20 NKJV] 19 "For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. 20 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.
In Romans above, please notice that God will crush the twerp [satan], but it will be under your feet. What does that mean? You must be obedient in using the authority, He's given to you and kick him out of your way, bind him, cast him back into the pit, to stay until Jesus releases him. then when Jesus comes back, He'll crush the twerp [satan] and you'll see him underneath you in hell. For he will not be free during the Millennium.
All in all, this chapter showed us, that even with all Jesus went through to save us, He also continually being tested; exhorted, by the Pharisees, Sadducee's, Scribes and Lawyers of the "religious men," along with letting the people - and us - know the truth and the wishes of Abba, His Father!
Jesus never sought any glory for Himself, but correcting the thoughts of men, who misunderstood intentionally or not, the truth and letting the people know also. HE WAS, AND IS - THE ONLY WAY TO THE FATHER - HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. Don't wait to ask Jesus into your heart, so I can meet all of my blog brothers and sisters in Heaven. Think about these words below, then just ask Him to forgive you and come into your heart. He's still knocking at your door to come in - you are breathing - right?
[John 3:16-18 NKJV] 16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."

Next Tuesday, December 25th is the Reason for the Season, when we celebrate the day our Lord was born in
My prayer 4 U: Father,
in Jesus' Name I'm asking You to reveal, to Your Children, how to think
from Heaven's perspective, so they can release Heavenly
solutions in their lives and help others, help them NOT
TO LEAD with their head, but with the heart of JESUS! - In
Jesus' Name - AMEN! and AMEN!
Blessing &
Merry Christmas to ALL,

The Lord's Servant
