Questions for next time

At our next meeting, we will read the message in Mark 12:18-48. This part of the message is loaded with meaning for the mission of the Twelve and for our mission.

1. To disprove the resurrection of the body, the Sadducees try to trip up Jesus with a contrived example based on the Torah. Does Jesus answer by saying Moses and the Torah are wrong?
2. The wise scribe went toe-to-toe with Jesus about the heart of the Torah. Who won, Jesus or the wise scribe?
3. What else does Psalm 110 say about the Messiah?
4. Jesus and the Twelve observe a widow as she drops some coins into the treasury of the temple, for alms. How does her example jibe with the the message of the fig tree, the parable of the vineyard owner's son, and the overall message that the Twelve must eventually publish far and wide?

We will tackle the Temple activity of this part of Mark's gospel and consider our own actions through these and other questions on Thursday morning before sunrise.
