Every detail of Christ's activity, miracles, and teaching are interwoven so as to tell one big story. The story of the old covenant terminates into Christ, and this is the story that the Pharisees and Sadducees are unable to see, no matter how close it gets to them. The Pharisees were so consumed with reading sentences that they missed the plot. The Sadducees were so consumed with neglecting sentences that they missed the plot. But our God is a story telling God, and so our charge as His people is to learn how stories work. God, in Christ is rebuilding humanity. Christ is the new faithful Adam and the new faithful Israel. The only way to enjoy fellowship with God is through union with Christ. All those who are united to Christ, whether Jew or gentile, are rightful sons and daughters of God, invited to sit at His table to be fed by Him forever. So get in the Word and stay in the Word; learn how to read the story. Learn how to read the time. Christ is enough. He has spoken the final Word. As we sit and are fed at His Father's table, we ought to remember that we got there the same way as everyone else. As we grow in this understanding, we will also grow in grace, patience, humility, and understanding with our brothers and sisters who are seated beside us.
