In this sermon from the 22nd Sunday after Pentecost (year A), Rev. Ben unpacks this dialectical teaching from Jesus, responding to two seemingly distinct questions. But, in fact, Jesus is not changing the subject, but holding out the solution to the fundamental problem that the Law of the greatest commandment holds out to us. The hope that we have is the Christ. In this passage, the Law and the Gospel together are responding to the deep foundational questions of every human heart.
Matthew 22:34-46
