On Wednesday before His death, Christ was in the temple. The chief priests and elders question Him as to His authority and He puts a question back to them that they can't answer that basically questions their authority.
The Sadduccees, Pharisees, Herodians, and Scribes all question Jesus about different topics hoping to catch Him saying something that will allow them to arrest Him but He answers each question with a parable that puts them in their place(s).
As you have the opportunity this week, I encourage you to read through at least one of the Gospels. I tend to favor Matthew although I've been going through each Gospel this week and reading the sections from each book that are the same. If you don't have a study Bible, you can search for "Harmony of the Gospels" so you can see how they compare on the events and the parables.
But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
Matthew 22:34-39 NKJV

Please join me in praying for our Lord and Savior, remembering what He did for us nearly 2000 years ago. Pray with thanksgiving. Testify what Jesus has done for you, what He continues to do for you, and what it means to have Him in your life.
I'll post daily reminders on:
