Matt 12:9 Man w/ withered hand

● People are more important than your opinion,

your religion, your hypocrisy, and your animals

Luke 18:9 Also He spoke this parable to some who

trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and

despised others: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to

pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I

thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners,

unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. 12 I fast

twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ 13 And

the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much

as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying,

‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man

went down to his house justified rather than the other;

for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he

who humbles himself will be exalted.”

● There are two people groups represented in this

parable. One who thinks they are right with God

because of their actions...and one who asks God

for help because they know they aren’t right

because of their actions.

○ We have a religious person and a lost

person.

○ We have a Pharisee and a tax collector.

○ We have someone doing things their own

way, and someone doing things God’s way.

○ We have someone who is justified, and

someone who is not.

○ We have someone who is exalted by

themself, and someone who is exalted by

God.

● Justification comes from the Lord...you don’t earn

it...you don’t get to choose who gets it...you don’t

get to give it to yourself.

○ Justification - The action of one being made

righteous by God.

○ Someone who is completely forgiven and

pleasing to God as if sin never existed.

○ Someone in right relationship, not right

behavior.

Luke 10:25 Good Samaritan

● Religious Lawer - wanting to “justify himself”
