Summary:

Why were the Pharisees so desperate to trap Jesus? What did they fail to understand about his authority? And how did God use rejection itself to bring redemption? In today’s episode, Jensen shares how Luke 20:1–26 reveals Jesus as the rejected cornerstone who outsmarts every trap and fulfills God’s plan to save the world.
