Proper 21

Matthew 21.23-32

 

To speak with Christ’s authority you must live with Christ’s integrity (AAA)

Jesus typically refused to establish his authority by dramatic displays.

Changing perspectives (CYP)

Jesus did not teach in the traditional way – what right did he have to change things? Jesus refuses to answer the question.

 

Additional resources

The mind of Christ (AAA) – based on Philippians 2.1-13

Most Christians find it is not easy to discern the mind of Christ in the contemporary world. Yet we can draw some conclusions from Christ’s behaviour to guide our thinking.

These resources were first published in 2002.
