Questions about Jesus can reveal a sincere search for truth — or a determination to avoid it. When we're confronted with Christ's authority, it's often our hearts, not our evidence, that determine how we'll respond. Watch this sermon as Robert Cone explores why Jesus' question still confronts us today, and what it means to live under the authority of the true King.
