The Finality of Jesus
Tim Keller | January 5, 1997
Overview
Because Jesus claims that he’s the final word, that salvation is completely by grace through him, the Pharisees and the Herodians band together to kill him.
This teaches us not only how radical Jesus’ way of salvation is, but that if you really hear it, it will create all sorts of division in your own heart. Whenever the real Jesus is revealed, there’s a juxtaposition of both attraction and revulsion. They both happen together.
This passage shows us 1) that Christ is offensive, 2) to whom he is offensive, and 3) why he is offensive.
