• The religious leaders challenged Jesus’s authority because they were afraid of Him, and they wanted Him dead.
• Jesus used questions and parables as effective teaching tools.
• The Pharisees were not satisfied being tenants; they wanted to be owners.
• We have been entrusted as stewards of the Gospel.
• God’s love and mercy are never-ending.
• God is patient, not indifferent; there will be judgement.
