Topic: THE PHARISEES
Word: Matthew 23:2 NLT
“The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses.
Here’s My Take:
Jesus Encounter Me The Pharisees:
Luke 13:10-17
One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, he saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then he touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God!
But the leader in charge of the synagogue was indignant that Jesus had healed her on the Sabbath day. “There are six days of the week for working,” he said to the crowd. “Come on those days to be healed, not on the Sabbath.”
Whenever I read the account of the Pharisees, and how they m
behave and speak. The picture that comes to mind is the Nigerian politicians. Very hypocritical. They use every means to lay burden on the people. How can you call healing a work, but taking ox and donkey out to drink water isn't work. The same way Nigeria politicians will set laws that will only affect the common man.
Conclusion:
But the Lord replied, “You hypocrites! Each of you works on the Sabbath day! Don’t you untie your ox or your donkey from its stall on the Sabbath and lead it out for water? This shamed his enemies, but all the people rejoiced at the wonderful things he did. Luke 13:15, 17 NLT
Song:
I will praise you Lord
I will worship you
I will honour you
I will adore you
So long as I live
With the strength I have
With all that I have
I will praise you Lord
Prayer:
Lord, may I not reason and act like the Pharisees. In Jesus name. Amen.
