Matthew 22:23-46

Key Verse 22:37

2. Based on Scripture, what do you think heaven will be like? (29-30) Why is it important that God said He is not the God of the dead, but God of the living, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? (Exo 3:6) (31-33)
3. Why do you think the Pharisees asked Jesus which law is greatest, why do you think they thought it to be an important/tough question? (34-36) Why did Jesus say these 2 commandments are the most important? (37-40) (Deut 6:5, Lev 19:18, Exo 20:1-17) How do you love God practically? How do you love others in your life?
4. What did Jesus ask the Pharisees and why did it cause them to be unable to reply? (41-46) (Ps 110:1) What does Psalm 110:1 teach us about Jesus? How do we keep Jesus as Lord of our lives?
