We see Jesus asked the first of many plans. Did you go back to the mirror to this Mark? These religious leaders are looking for any reason looking for any reason to get him out of there. In our text today, we're going to examine questioners questions and answers. 27 begin to Jerusalem as he was walking in the temple priests scribes and the elders King and ask him by what Authority are you doing these things to do these things. Jesus said to him. I will ask you one question and answer me and I will tell you by what Authority I do these things. Was John's baptism from heaven or human working?

first questioners three groups of

They only believe in the first five books of the Old Testament, they did not have after life then deny the Spiritual Beings exist. And they are most focused. Keeping peace with the with Rowan.

Here are The Devout conservative scripture French people who were walking around threatening everybody.

And they are the party of the map. He's actually control the Sanhedrin. But they defer to the minority Pharisees. Is there a free people? Play some in this group. You probably have some men to Sadducees and Pharisees Chief priests and Elders coming to Jesus. Ask him a question. And the question that they're going to ask him is meant to boxing.

Look at the questions. By what Authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this Authority?

Where did you get your ordination? International Life Church, I mean I'm getting ready to do a wedding in May for my cousin and you have to be

okay. Well, there's any number of ordination service has these Jewish priests and scribes and Elders want to know?

Did use the control? Gave you the power to go and calm the winds and the waves until the Black Version.

Read that guy last respect.

What do you get off thinking you can do this?

Just pretty simple or what? People who is it witness Witnesses of all, the Jesus has done. Some of them may have even been there seeing some of these

I just watched him cleanse the temple and run out the money changers in the people selling it livestock. Who gave you the right?

I asked you two questions. Jesus, punches back

one question and answer you was John's baptism from heaven or even work. What was John's baptism? I will need a little bit of context for what John?

In order to understand why Jesus is Aston. about his torture You'll get a check for 19. Call Susan torrent call travel through the interior regions and came to Ephesus.

When you believe that there is a Holy Spirit. In what then were you baptized?

Also John baptized.

Show me the people that they should believe in the war. batteries in Jesus when they heard this they were baptized into the name.

John's baptism the baptism of repentance What's 4 pints? He probably heard the definition to change of heart.

In the change of mind makes you want to live in and do things differently moving forward. I described it as taking your life and digging it up and replanting it.

Replanting your Reliance in God repointing and trust in God. People in offices have been baptized with John's bathroom because a ton of people went out into the Wilderness and were baptized by John. John's baptism was supposed to be a martyr of what was to come John's baptism was not the end-all beetle.

You heard people describe that too soon. as the album sign of an interchange your people say that okay, I would send it to you. That's what John's baptism want. John's baptism was the outward sign that I am not good enough. I don't have it figured out enough and if I need something outside of me help me out. I will submit to what John is prophesying is coming as the thing that I need more than anything in this world. That was John Baptist. John clearly pointed to the one coming after him mainly Jesus.

And many were baptized by John Baptist.

and what Jesus is trying to connect in the minds of the chief priests and scribes and Elders is that if John came with authority go to Wawa. If John had Authority from God. Because I am the one which he yelled out. Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world

John's baptism was a baptism. The ones would come in baptized.

play the baptized.

Listen to the Pharisees. The experts in the wall. And not just that.

They rejected the plan of God themselves.

Message on baptism is all about. Just getting people ready for God's way. and on my way

is getting people's hearts and mind centered around the fact that you're not being bored and that you don't have any answers and that you don't have the right. You need it from somewhere else.

And the people that come after Jesus's question. Already rejected his plant.

You may not have gotten a hold of a real God. And you may just have a figment of your imagination.

All new the first century Christians and 21st century. We're still going to be struggling with this very thing. We are going to struggle to have Jesus be article. He says if we just dropped from one that seen through the people who he is likely just baptized. Again, not from John baptism but in the baptism.

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened. So you may know what is the hope of his call. What is the wealth of his glorious inheritance? What is the immeasurable greatness of his?
