  leadership skills. Our strong residence life
  program accommodates over 2,500 students on
  campus and provides a great context for building
  lifelong friendships. Cedarville is nationally

Jesus and the Scriptures

• They arrived again in Jerusalem, and while Jesus
  was walking in the temple courts, the chief
  priests, the teachers of the law and the elders
  came to him. "By what authority are you doing
  these things?" they asked. "And who gave you
  authority to do this?"  Jesus replied, "I will
  ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell
  you by what authority I am doing these things.
  John's baptismwas it from heaven, or from men?
  Tell me!
• They discussed it among themselves and said, "If
  we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Then why
  didn't you believe him? But if we say, 'From
  men'...." (They feared the people, for everyone
  held that John really was a prophet.)
• So they answered Jesus, "We don't know."    
• Jesus said, "Neither will I tell you by what
  authority I am doing these things."
• Mark 1127-33

12
Jesus and the Scriptures

• Later they sent some of the Pharisees and
  Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words.
  They came to him and said, "Teacher, we know you
  are a man of integrity. You aren't swayed by men,
  because you pay no attention to who they are but
  you teach the way of God in accordance with the
  truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?
  Should we pay or shouldn't we?"    But Jesus knew
  their hypocrisy. "Why are you trying to trap me?"
  he asked. "Bring me a denarius and let me look at
  it. They brought the coin, and he asked them,
  "Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?"
• "Caesar's," they replied.
• Then Jesus said to them, "Give to Caesar what is
  Caesar's and to God what is God's."
• And they were amazed at him.
• Mark 1213-17

13
Jesus and the Scriptures

• Then the Sadducees, who say there is no
  resurrection, came to him with a question.
• "Teacher," they said, "Moses wrote for us that
  if a man's brother dies and leaves a wife but no
  children, the man must marry the widow and have
  children for his brother. Now there were seven
  brothers. The first one married and died without
  leaving any children. The second one married the
  widow, but he also died, leaving no child. It was
  the same with the third. In fact, none of the
  seven left any children. Last of all, the woman
  died too. At the resurrection whose wife will she
  be, since the seven were married to her?"
• Mark 1218-23

14
Jesus and the Scriptures

• Jesus replied, "Are you not in error because you
  do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?
  When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor
  be given in marriage they will be like the
  angels in heaven. Now about the dead risinghave
  you not read in the book of Moses, in the account
  of the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God
  of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of
  Jacob? He is not the God of the dead, but of the
  living. You are badly mistaken!
• Mark 1224-27

15
Jesus and the Scriptures
Scripture cannot be broken (John 1035). I
tell you the truth, until heaven and earth
disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least
stroke of a pen will disappear from the Law until
everything is accomplished (Matthew 518).
16
Jesus and the Scriptures
Jesus spoke of . . . Adam and Eve the
death of Abel Noah and the Flood the
destruction of Sodom Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob the burning bush David Solomon
wilderness wanderings manna from
heaven Lots wife Jonah and the great
fish
17
Jesus and the Scriptures
So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked
Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according
to the tradition of the elders instead of eating
their food with 'unclean' hands?" He replied,
"Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you
hypocrites as it is written     These people
honor me with their lips,       but their hearts
are far from me.   They worship me in vain
      their teachings are but rules taught by
men. You have let go of the commands of God and
are holding on to the traditions of men. And he
said to them You have a fine way of setting
aside the commands of God in order to observe
your own traditions! Mark
75-9
