Grace, Mercy and Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Introduction
Grace, Mercy and Peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
And it was pride that a lot of the great Christian saints that we look up to like Augustine, Luther or even C.S. Lewis called “the root of all sin.”
And it is pride that is the devil’s most effective and destructive tool against us.
For it is through pride that sin entered into the world and it is through pride that it continues on today.
For as soon as pride has entered into our hearts we no longer think about God or about others, no we think about ourselves and our desires.
And the devil latches on and tempts us to act on those desires.
Which is what we see in our Gospel lesson for today.
Introduction
Context
“You shall have no other God’s.”
What does this mean?
We should fear, love and trust in God above all things.
(PAUSE and look up) You know, there’s 9 more of these.
But, I’m not going to read you all 9.
Not because they aren’t important, but because we don’t need to go any further than the 1st commandment to realize that we fail to keep the commandments.
How?
Well, you see, there’s a popular phrase that you’ve all probably heard: “Pride comes before the fall.”
But how many of us actually understand that phrase and know what it means?
You see pride is a funny, yet very serious thing.
For pride is the grandfather of all sins.
In fact, if you were to make a top 10 list of sins, the number 1 sin on that list would be pride.
Why?
Because pride is the exact opposite of the first commandment.
Pride isn’t fearing, loving or trusting in God, no pride is self-centered and self-exalting.
It puts us 1st and makes us ask questions like: What about me?
What about my needs?
Aren’t I important?
That’s pride.

Now, I know it has been a few weeks since we last visited the book of Mark, so let me give you a quick recap of where we are.
Jesus and the disciples have entered into Jerusalem.
Jesus has cleansed the temple and now we see him in the temple again for the final time.
Only this time surrounded by people, he is approached and questioned by the chief priests, scribes and elders.
And after answering many questions, to the point where they no longer wanted to ask him any more questions, ever.
We get two final parallel and contrasting teachings by Jesus before He leaves the temple.
