Luke 20:20-26; Home field advantage

After unsuccessful attempts to trap Jesus in the realm of religion and theology, his enemies decided to play on a different field. It is as if they concluded that he had home field advantage and therefore shifted to another area of life all-together. This question was about Rome in order to hand him over to the secular powers. Of course, the result was disastrous for them.

Jesus was the same person in all areas of life whether theology, government or relationship. He was honest while his enemies had to pretend to be honest. He was simple and straightforward while others were complicated and twisted.

It seems that a logical conclusion from this could be that when my life becomes twisted and complicated, there is something very wrong at the core of who I am.
