Jesus' Last Week: Challenges at the Temple
Jesus faced challenges to His authority at the Temple and responded with wisdom and parables. He was interrogated by the Jewish leaders who questioned His actions and teachings. Through parables, Jesus addressed the issues of faith, repentance, and acceptance of God's invitation. The parables of the two sons, the wicked manager, and the marriage of the King's son convey profound spiritual lessons and insights into the Kingdom of God.
