Paul and Silas visit two cities (Thessalonica and Berea) and receive two very different welcomes from the religious people in those areas. So the question remains – do we allow traditions and "that's the way we've always done it" to inform what's true? Or are we willing to question even our traditions, and search the scriptures for answers?
In Luke 19-20, Jesus comes face to face with the religious leaders in Jerusalem, when he rolls into the temple and starts cleaning house. The leaders at the temple are no doubt unimpressed, and they have one major question for Jesus: "Who do you think you are?!" It begins a conversation about authority – where it comes from, who holds the keys, and who you will follow.
