The path of Jesus leads to Jerusalem, where many rightly assume that this teacher is the long awaited Son of David. However, they wrongly assume that Jesus will ascend to an earthly throne and subdue Israel’s earthly enemies. The kingdom that Jesus will bring about, however, is one that extends beyond geographical bounds and instead lays claim to the hearts of the faithful. The chief priests, scribes, and Pharisees all take aim at Jesus with the intention of trapping Jesus in His words, but they are all unsuccessful against the infinite wit and wisdom of the son of God. Later, Jesus warns his disciples of a time yet to come when persecutions and natural catastrophes will escalate, signaling the return of the Christ, who comes in the clouds with great power and glory.
