Luke 18:9-14
Characteristics of the Listeners:
CONFIDENCE in themselves
CONGRATULATIONS for righteousness
CONDESCENSION toward others
PHARISEE PHIL:
1. SELF-CONFIDENCE = Exalts himself
EGO = Edging God out
2. SELF-CONGRATULATION = Exaggerates his own righteousness
3. CONDESCENSION = Excludes others
TAX-MAN TOM:
1. NO EXALTATION - The right person
2. NO EXPLANATION - The right petition
3. NO EXCUSES - The right perspective
The knowledge of God w/o the knowledge of sin creates pride;
The knowledge of sin w/o the knowledge of God creates despair.
Jesus gives both: the knowledge of God and the knowledge of sin;
He is God’s solution for our greatest problem - sin!
TWO QUESTIONS:
- How do you view others??
- How do you view yourself??
Whether you are a proud, self-righteous sinner,
OR
A lowly, self-condemning sinner,
THERE IS MERCY FOR ALL!!
