Three Questions. Matt. 22:15-"2.
xxxiv:46
Golden Text-Render therefore unto
Caesar the things which are Caesars;
and unto God the things that are Gods.
Matt. xxii:21.
Verse l5-Why did the Pharisees
want to entangle Jesus in his talk?
Why is it that Christians of one
creed often feel bitter towards those
of another creed and sometimes try
to "entangle" them, as the Pharisees
did Jesus?
Verse 16-Why did not the Pharisees
90 to Jesus personally?
Why did the Pharisees associate
with their own disciples the Herodians,
in their attempt 10 enSnare Jesus?
Why did they pay Jesus this great
compliment. seeing they were so op-
posed to him?
Is it ever right to lie for a good
cause? Why or why not?
What good lessons may We learn
from these bad men?
Verses 17-2l-If these men had
really been truth seekers, how would
Jesus have probably answered their
question, as to whether it was right
for the Jews to pay taxes to Caesar?
What difference is there between the
moral obligation for a man to pay his
legal taxes, and to pay his butcher
bill for example?
What was Jesus own practice as to
paying taxes? (See Matt xviii 24-27.)
Jesus rebuked these hypocrites
sharply, to what extent should we fol-
tow his example in this?
Point out wherein the remarkable
skill of Jesus answer consisted.
Verse 22-Why was it great folly
for them to suppose they could en-
tangle Jesus in his words?
Can you oite the case Of any who
have opposed God. without bringing
disaster upon themselves?
Verses 34-40-Why is it that men
still persist in opposing God. when his
tory shows that every man who hes
done so has suffered loss. and that ell
who persisted have been destroyed?
What is the chief object in life?
What can we do, or what must We
be, in order to attain the chief object
of life?
II man does love God with all his
powers, and his neighbor as himsei.-.
does he perfectly please God?
If love is the dominating power y
mans life. 1t makes the will and the
