Chapter 8: The Broken Flask

About this episode

This episode discusses Jesus' compassion for the vulnerable and his conflict with the Pharisees, highlighting themes of hypocrisy and prayer.

Chapter 8 of Heroes in the Bible: Jesus with Dr. Tony Evans is inspired by the Gospels. The Broken Flask - Jesus’ heart for the hurting and vulnerable is showcased in contrast to the religious elite’s piety and hypocrisy. This is where the tension between Jesus and the Pharisees reaches a critical point. Jesus rebukes the religious elite, and thus sets in motion a conspiracy to put an end to him. Today's opening prayer is inspired by Job 38:41, Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
