Why would a lawyer ask Jesus a question just to test Him?
Matthew 22:35
The moment
The Pharisees, who had just heard Jesus silence the Sadducees, gathered together. One of them, a lawyer, stepped forward with a question meant to trap Him.
Matthew 22:34-35
Where it points
Long before, Leviticus said, 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' That command, fulfilled in Christ, is the second great commandment—the whole law is summed up in this one word.
Leviticus 19:18 · Matthew 22:39 · Galatians 5:14
For today
Today, when someone tests your faith, don't get defensive. Answer with love, because love is the test that backfires on every trap.
