We all resist AUTHORITY. At work. At home. In relationships. Even with God.
But there’s one question we can’t avoid forever:
REAL LIFE WITH JESUS CONTINUES:
“Who Really Owns Your Life?”
Ever notice how we dodge the hard questions?
“Who gave you the right?”
“Why should I listen to you?”
“What makes you so special?”
“Who’s really in charge here?”
This Sunday, religious leaders corner Jesus with the ULTIMATE trap question. His answer? It changes everything.
The Setup:
Temple courts. Final week. Leaders demand: “By what AUTHORITY are you doing these things?”
It’s not just a question. It’s a trap.
Say the wrong thing = charges of blasphemy OR treason.
Jesus’ Response:
He doesn’t dodge. He doesn’t defend.
Instead, He tells a story about:
🍇 A vineyard
👥 Rejected messengers
🪨 A REJECTED STONE
Then He asks THE question that matters:
“You bear GOD’S image. So who do you belong to?”
Three Truths This Sunday:
1️⃣ Authority isn’t the issue. SUBMISSION is.
Real life with Jesus begins when we stop dodging the question.
2️⃣ The rejected stone BECAME the cornerstone.
What the builders threw away, God made the foundation of EVERYTHING.
3️⃣ You belong to God completely.
Caesar gets your taxes. God gets YOUR LIFE.
📖 Luke 20:1-26

The Question:
Not who influences you.
Not who you admire.
But who has your DEEPEST ALLEGIANCE?
The coin bears Caesar’s image, so it belongs to Caesar.
You bear GOD’S image.
So who really owns your life?
