He Set His Face – A Word of Woe to His Critics

Dave Riddle – 03/31/19

Key Passage: Luke 11:37-52

Luke 9:51 – When the days were coming to a close for Him to be taken up, He set His face resolutely towards Jerusalem.

  • Resolute: purposefully unwavering or determined.

    • Torah – The law of God as revealed to Moses and recorded in the first five books of the Hebrew scriptures (the Pentateuch).

    Talmud – The body of Jewish civil and ceremonial law and legend. Not from scripture, but rabbinic tradition.

    Exposing the Hypocrites:

    1. You’re the ones who are unclean
      • Luke 11:39-41
      • You’ve lost sight of the Law’s design
        • Luke 11:42
        • Love and justice take a back seat to tradition and legalism.
        • You’re preoccupied with status
          • Luke 11:43
          • Only concerned with what others think.
          • You’re actually a source of defilement
            • Luke 11:44
            • They thought they were a source of purity, but the opposite was the truth.

              • Challenging the Experts:

              1. Your teaching puts a burden on the people that is not from God.
                • Luke 11:46
                • “Woe” is not a term of vindictiveness, but of regret.
                • Like your ancestors you are in opposition to God’s message and messengers.
                  • Luke 11:47
                  • You are Kingdom-Inhibitors
                    • Luke 11:52
                    • You’re not just missing the point, you’re causing others to miss the point.
