-Would seem that the pharisees would be the ones who would be ready to follow Jesus, the most religious, knew the law, but just the opposite
-Denied Jesus over and over again
-the pursuit of religion is not the answer to our sin sick hearts, only the gospel can change our hearts
-those who pursue religion are hypocrites, they portray on the outside a moral upright person, but are sick within, Jesus said this of they scribes and pharisees six times in Matthew 23:13
-religion blinds, pharisees were so focused on their works that they failed to see the Messiah
-Pharisee
-dine = breakfast, lunch
-recline
-Instead of denying Jesus, rejecting the gospel, what should those caught up in man made religion deny?
Denial of Rituals
-This is not a sanitary washing, but a ceremonial washing
βαπτίζω - baptizo
-purification
-a collection of Jewish writings known as the Talmud - it is recorded, they would pour 2-3 times over both hands, starting with finger tips and down the arm
-man made ritual,
-Jesus paid no attention to man made rituals, on purpose He brought it to light
Denial of a Sinful Heart
-What did the Pharisee say that led Jesus to speak on the matter?
Nothing.
-Jesus knew what the Pharisee was thinking.
-What did Jesus say?
-All you worry about is the outside of the plate, you clean only the outside
-inside you are full of greed and wickedness
-greed = possibly financially, more than likely you are robbing people of their souls
-wickedness = maliciousness, sinfulness, ill intent
-The point Jesus made: God is concerned with your heart not your outward rituals
-You give your alms - you do everything to be seen, you fast, you pray in public, but you have missed the mark
Denial of Pride
-Woe - judgment
-Focus on the wrong things, mint and rue were never commanded to tithe, they were small, little things in which to tithe - so focused on the unimportant that they missed the most important
-what drove them to pursue all these things rather than a love for God?
-love the best seat, love to be seen, love the power, love the prestige, love themselves rather than God
Denial of Leading Others Astray
-their impact on others
-unmarked grave - never touch a dead body or you were unclean
-Jesus made the point that the Pharisees were spiritually unclean and were leading others to spiritual death
