“What think you of Christ?”


“What think you of Christ?”
Mat_22:15-46

Mat_22:15-16
Men who wish to ensnare us begin with flattery. Let us beware of smooth speeches.
Mat_22:21
By using Cæsar’s coinage they confessed their subjection to his authority, and they were bound to act accordingly. Civil rulers are to be obeyed in civil things, but they must not touch religion, that is the sphere of God alone. Attention to this rule would be a great blessing both to Church and State.
Mat_22:22-32
A most conclusive reply, which shut the mouths of the Sadducees, and showed the Saviour’s infinite superiority to their fancied wisdom.
Mat_22:43-45
This was a puzzle for them, out of which they could not see their way, and thus Jesus left the field victorious over all his foes.

If ask’d what of Jesus I think,
Though still my best thoughts are but poor,
I say, he’s my meat and my drink,
My life, and my strength, and my store,
My Shepherd, my Husband, my Friend,
My Saviour from sin and from thrall,
My Hope from beginning to end,
My Portion, my Lord, and my All.
