    There is no better exercise for the human heart than reaching down and lifting someone up. Jesus on the Cross is our best example. Let’s see why!

    Jesus’ opponents try to trip him up, but his answers back reveal much about the human character and how many of us "play" church.

    In a way this chapter is a direct attack against Jesus’ authority as the King and Messiah He has just claimed to be.
