In an effort to get the attention of the Chief Priests, Sadducees and Scribes, Jesus takes a picture straight from Isaiah - a very unflattering picture of rebellion and sin - and applies it to them.

Also discussed:

• The acts of faith we perform out of love for the Lord do not save us. They are evidence that we are saved. • Jesus was setting things straight. "This is who you were supposed to be." • When Jesus pulled references and allusions from they were rarely positive and the Jews knew exactly what he was saying. • The Chief Priests and Pharisees knew Jesus was the Son of God, the Messiah. They wanted to kill him and take his place • Hebrews is a good companion book to Matthew. They were both written for Jewish believers. • Jesus was not concerned with their reaction. The truth was the truth and he proclaimed it. • NO ONE EVER talked to the Scribes and Pharisees and Chief Priests the way Jesus did. Ever. • As modern believers we are far too separated from the Old Testament. We do not read and study it nearly enough.
