To average people of the day what Jesus was saying made good common sense.
God is not contained in or limited by systems.
Some would rather envision a tame God and keep him in a box, like a mascot. Just pull him out when you need some inspiration.
Jesus cannot be wielded or controlled.
This example of religious people caring more about institutions than people- it strikes a chord with many because it is far too common.
Jesus, you are Lord. You rule, reign, and act because you are the authority…not me.
