[music]
00:00:31
in the gospel of Luke, Jesus tells
00:00:33
the story of two people who are
00:00:35
at opposite ends of the social and
00:00:37
moral scale, one a respected
00:00:39
religious man, the other a
00:00:41
despised Dregs of society, one
00:00:43
believes that he is righteous before God and
00:00:45
the other knows that he is unrighteous, go to the
00:00:48
temple to pray, but only one leaves
00:00:50
justified which one of them to
00:00:53
answer this question You need to
00:00:55
answer the question of your whole life What is
00:00:57
necessary to be justified before God
00:01:00
from the beginning of time people try to answer
00:01:02
this question with a huge variety of
00:01:04
religious and philosophical teachings but it is
00:01:07
impossible to find the right answer in them the answer
00:01:10
is there Where today we will turn
00:01:11
to Pastor John MacArthur in the pages of
00:01:14
Scripture So if the Bible you have
00:01:16
near you opens it to the 18th chapter of
00:01:18
the Gospel of Luke and get ready for the
00:01:21
first part of the answer which reveals the
00:01:22
most important mystery of life namely who
00:01:26
will be justified
00:01:30
[music]
00:01:41
now pitharov before we turn to
00:01:44
text of the scriptures that are now before us, I
00:01:48
want you to know that all my life I have
00:01:51
been waiting for this text to preach on
00:01:54
it.
00:01:56
You know that when studying the New Testament as we
00:01:59
do, you
00:02:00
can approach the text once and
00:02:03
have to wait until it appears before you,
00:02:04
however, I turned to this
00:02:07
passage of scripture thousands of times during my
00:02:09
ministry it is so deep theologically and
00:02:12
spiritually it leads to radical
00:02:15
conclusions and at the same time so elementary
00:02:18
so simply
00:02:22
this is the parable that our Lord
00:02:25
tells in the Gospel of Luke chapter 18
00:02:29
starting from verse 9 I want to take the time to explain it
00:02:34
and more time so that we
00:02:37
understand it better
00:02:39
and better understand the ensuing story of
00:02:54
this amazingly profound story,
00:02:57
our Lord tells how this often
00:02:59
happens in simple words So let's
00:03:03
open chapter 18 of Luke
00:03:06
verses 9 to 14 Luke 18 chapter verses
00:03:12
9 to 14
00:03:14
also said to some who
00:03:17
were confident about themselves that they were righteous and humiliated
00:03:22
others the following parable:
00:03:25
two people entered the temple to pray
00:03:29
[music] to
00:03:34
themselves so
00:03:37
God, I thank you that I am not like
00:03:42
other people, robbers, offenders,
00:03:45
adulterers, or like this one, we
00:03:49
fast twice a day for a week I give a tenth
00:03:53
of everything that we have experienced,
00:03:56
standing in the distance I did
00:04:00
not even dare to raise my eyes to heaven,
00:04:04
but striking myself on the chest I said, God be
00:04:09
merciful to me, a sinner,
00:04:12
tell you that this one went to
00:04:17
his house justified more
00:04:19
than that one,
00:04:22
for everyone who exalts himself
00:04:25
will be humiliated
00:04:27
and he who humiliates himself will be exalted
00:04:34
What is true is true, many of
00:04:37
our Lord’s parables are paradoxical,
00:04:40
they are not just paradoxical but
00:04:43
truly outrageous
00:04:47
scandalous by all existing
00:04:50
religious standards
00:04:52
this fits into the category of outrageous
00:04:55
and scandalous parables
00:04:59
because in this story Jesus
00:05:02
shows the
00:05:05
unrighteous man as
00:05:10
right
00:05:13
and the Righteous man as such
00:05:16
[ music]
00:05:17
it destroyed everything that the Jews believed in
00:05:21
everything that their religion taught in the time of
00:05:24
our Lord
00:05:26
This is a scandalous parable it is outrageous
00:05:31
this idea had no place in their theology
00:05:36
this is another reason for rejecting Jesus to
00:05:43
say
00:05:45
that the
00:05:47
confessed wicked
00:05:53
left the temple justified
00:05:57
instead of the
00:05:59
confessed righteous
00:06:03
means
00:06:04
revolution in religious consciousness But
00:06:10
this is exactly what Jesus said
00:06:14
why did this parable appear here
00:06:19
Remember what it is about
00:06:23
from verse 20 of chapter 17
00:06:26
to the very end to verse 37 and in the first
00:06:29
eight verses of chapter 18 it talks about the
00:06:32
coming of the Lord Jesus
00:06:35
and his kingdom
00:06:39
and essentially we are looking at the spiritual
00:06:43
the kingdom that Christ reigns and rules in the
00:06:47
hearts of those who have placed their trust in him
00:06:49
He will one day return to
00:06:52
establish a literal physical
00:06:55
material earthly kingdom
00:06:58
And after this thousand-year kingdom He will
00:07:00
create a new heaven and a new earth
00:07:04
which will be an eternal kingdom He
00:07:06
reigns in a spiritual kingdom He will reign
00:07:09
over the kingdom of the earth forever will
00:07:11
reign in the eternal kingdom, the
00:07:16
participants in the spiritual kingdom will find themselves in the
00:07:20
earthly kingdom and then the eternal kingdom
00:07:24
for the first time he came to accomplish the
00:07:26
work that allowed us to be in his
00:07:30
spiritual kingdom for a thousand years and eternal,
00:07:35
returning he will come to judge the
00:07:38
wicked and establish the earthly
00:07:40
kingdom and that eternal kingdom
00:07:46
all this talk about the kingdom of
00:07:48
Den leads to a simple question:
00:07:54
How to get
00:07:57
into this kingdom,
00:08:01
how can a person justify himself before God,
00:08:05
how can he be reconciled with God?
00:08:10
This is a very very serious question,
00:08:15
and the Lord answers it with a parable:
00:08:20
how a
00:08:21
person can justify himself before God;
00:08:26
this question is not new. This is a question that has
00:08:29
tormented me and humanity suffered in the
00:08:33
earliest biblical era, returning to the
00:08:37
book of Job written in the period of the patriarchs
00:08:39
and of chapter 9 verse one where he asks
00:08:42
the question truth knowing that so but how
00:08:46
can a person be justified before God How can we be
00:08:52
justified before God how can we be
00:08:55
justified before God
00:08:59
How is this parable and verse
00:09:04
14 says this one went
00:09:07
home justified
00:09:11
This is the most important question that
00:09:15
faces Any person living on
00:09:17
this planet and is of sound mind
00:09:22
who is justified before God and how this is the
00:09:27
question
00:09:31
and answer truly stunning shocking
00:09:35
remember the Jews knew that God righteous They
00:09:40
knew that God is light
00:09:43
They knew that the book of Leviticus says
00:09:45
Be holy because I am holy again and
00:09:47
again and again and again
00:09:49
they knew this
00:09:51
They understood the questions of how a person will be justified
00:09:55
before God this question Honestly, it appears
00:10:01
several times
00:10:04
in chapter 25 and their areas are 4 and how a person
00:10:08
can be right
00:10:12
and how to be pure born of a woman
00:10:15
If you are a man you are dirty If you are a
00:10:19
man you are sinful how can you justify yourself
00:10:22
before God this was an insoluble question in the
00:10:27
most ancient spiritual conversation
00:10:30
captured in scripture in the book
00:10:34
the psalmist of course repeats what
00:10:37
everyone knew perfectly well psalm 142 verse
00:10:41
two
00:10:43
not one of the living will not be justified before you, this
00:10:49
is the dilemma
00:10:51
God is absolutely righteous and the light of God
00:10:55
says that you must be passed and
00:10:58
holy Be holy because I am holy
00:11:02
and here is all our extremity, like dirty
00:11:05
clothes and there is not a single one living The
00:11:08
righteous is a big problem,
00:11:13
this is a dilemma and the product of this question is worth
00:11:18
all the questions, it torments the hearts of all
00:11:21
people, the answer to it determines for a
00:11:24
person eternity
00:11:29
the word justified in spite of him, as a
00:11:32
Christian, perhaps knowing the Epistle to
00:11:34
Romans, you will say I understand this word and
00:11:37
tell me about the legal imputed
00:11:40
correctness of the sinner by faith in Jesus
00:11:41
Christ and This is absolutely true
00:11:44
But those people did not read to the Romans
00:11:48
how They understood the word justified They
00:11:51
understood you just as
00:11:52
you understand it it means to be righteous
00:11:55
that is, innocent it means to be
00:11:59
righteous before the judge righteous before
00:12:01
God the
00:12:02
ordinary meaning of this word wild about and
00:12:07
even the Jewish synonym to be innocent to
00:12:13
recognize someone as righteous to justify to
00:12:16
return a good name
00:12:19
So that he will become accepted and justified before God,
00:12:23
that is, exactly what
00:12:26
the Lord said about the publican
00:12:30
God accepted him and rejected
00:12:34
the Pharisee and the stunning
00:12:38
stunning truth
00:12:42
how this can be how this can
00:12:46
happen well they should have known quite well the
00:12:48
Old Testament to be her 15-6 Abraham
00:12:51
believed the Lord and he counted it to him as
00:12:56
righteousness they should have known
00:12:59
what according to in Roman chapter 4 that
00:13:01
Abraham was justified
00:13:06
they also should have known
00:13:09
that Isaiah says chapter 53 this is a
00:13:14
wonderful chapter of the mission, listen to
00:13:16
what Isaiah writes, he is a righteous servant, my
00:13:21
Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, will justify
00:13:25
many as he bears their sins on himself
00:13:30
Isaiah 5311 they should have known that they
00:13:34
can be justified before God only by becoming
00:13:36
absolutely holy, as this is required by the
00:13:40
God of the book
00:13:42
and this can
00:13:46
only happen if God imputes his
00:13:49
righteousness to them by faith. This was done
00:13:53
only if there was a willing victim
00:13:56
who would suffer the punishment.
00:14:00
Just a just punishment according to his
00:14:03
law instead of the sinner;
00:14:07
everything is written here in the
00:14:10
old testament;
00:14:15
they had to remember Blessed is the man to
00:14:18
whom the Lord will not impute sin;
00:14:24
they had to understand the entire system of
00:14:27
sacrifices,
00:14:28
each sacrifice they offered them every
00:14:31
day every day was a symbol of
00:14:36
substitutionary death, the
00:14:41
punishment for breaking the law, the death of
00:14:44
either you
00:14:47
or an innocent animal for you, all those
00:14:50
sacrifices pointed to the
00:14:51
perfect lamb of God who
00:14:55
will take away the sins of the world, all this is in the
00:14:58
Old Testament they had all the
00:15:00
necessary components they
00:15:02
realized their need to be justified
00:15:05
before God but by the
00:15:07
time Jesus appeared
00:15:10
they had lost everything
00:15:12
they did not even understand that the Messiah had to
00:15:15
suffer and die they had lost a
00:15:19
holistic view of the entire system of
00:15:20
sacrifice They did not understand the
00:15:23
53rd chapter of Isaiah at all
00:15:26
and they decided as the whole world decided to
00:15:33
achieve God by becoming good. This is how it
00:15:37
can be done
00:15:39
by pleasing God by satisfying God you can
00:15:43
achieve reconciliation with him enter his
00:15:45
kingdom inherit heaven by becoming good to a
00:15:48
high degree of religion
00:15:53
there is no pain of an important question for a person
00:15:56
than this how can I
00:15:59
how can I make peace with God how should I
00:16:02
become righteous before God How can I
00:16:04
become pleasing to God what should I do so that God
00:16:06
will allow me to enter her kingdom of his
00:16:08
Eternal Paradise This is the most exciting question
00:16:11
and this is A simple story isn’t it
00:16:14
amazing A simple story verses 10
00:16:16
to 14 answers this question with
00:16:19
amazing depth of simplicity and with
00:16:22
clarity one would think that such a question would
00:16:24
lead to the Most confusing complex
00:16:27
long discussion about theology and religion
00:16:33
someone will say you are talking about how
00:16:35
to reach God how to justify yourself before God
00:16:37
How to get to heaven there are many
00:16:39
answers to this question We should
00:16:42
follow all religion on earth to
00:16:43
cover everything We must understand
00:16:46
everything and decide what will happen here And what is there where is
00:16:48
this part somewhere what elements and
00:16:50
components are universal for all
00:16:52
religions that fit this topic No it’s not
00:16:55
confusing it’s not complicated it’s very simple you
00:16:57
want to know how simple it is here’s how
00:16:59
it’s simple, you either can make yourself
00:17:02
righteous before God or there are simply
00:17:07
no other options,
00:17:10
you either can achieve righteousness
00:17:12
that would satisfy God
00:17:15
or no,
00:17:17
it’s not confusing,
00:17:20
you are either a means of your
00:17:22
justification or not,
00:17:27
either you do it actively or
00:17:31
they do it for you, thank you here and all
00:17:38
this is a
00:17:40
simple difference between all religions on the planet,
00:17:45
either it is a religion of human achievements
00:17:48
or This is the truth, that is, the religion of God's
00:17:51
work,
00:17:52
any religion that
00:17:55
has ever existed in the world besides the only
00:17:57
true religion revealed in scripture This
00:18:01
system of human achievements is an attempt to
00:18:04
come to God by becoming good good
00:18:07
morally good religiously
00:18:09
ceremonial rituals religiously and
00:18:12
morally the totality of this makes
00:18:15
you pleasing to God and even non-religious
00:18:17
people Today they say that they are spiritually
00:18:19
so good before God that he will not send
00:18:22
them to
00:18:24
This means that they are too good for
00:18:26
him to take them to heaven
00:18:29
I don’t care how this religion is called,
00:18:31
be it a World Religion or a Secret
00:18:34
personal small fictitious Faith that
00:18:36
now
00:18:38
if it carries the idea
00:18:43
that you can come to God by becoming good
00:18:47
This is a disgusting lie in fact this is
00:18:51
part of the big deception dominant throughout the
00:18:54
history of mankind
00:18:56
in order to better understand this I will show
00:18:58
you established new testament the standard
00:19:00
that God requires just listen to
00:19:02
the words of Jesus from the Gospel of Matthew 548
00:19:04
Here they are So Be perfect as
00:19:08
your heavenly father is perfect
00:19:11
Jesus repeats the book of Leviticus Be holy
00:19:14
because I am holy what is divinity
00:19:16
standard absolute perfection
00:19:20
The Bible says that by approaching the law in
00:19:23
one thing you will break everything Jesus
00:19:25
goes even further they say must be
00:19:27
obedient not only to the external law it
00:19:30
also includes the intention
00:19:31
of the heart So if you are in
00:19:33
lust then you break the law of
00:19:36
adultery if you hate you
00:19:38
proceed to the law of murder and so
00:19:40
on
00:19:44
You must be perfect like God
00:19:51
this is absolute holiness
00:19:55
If such a standard then if for anyone
00:19:58
Hope this very question was in the minds of the
00:20:01
disciples of Matthew chapter 19 and the rich young man
00:20:03
comes to Jesus Jesus tells him that
00:20:05
he must keep the law he answers I
00:20:07
remembered keeping the law from my youth
00:20:10
I did all this
00:20:15
and he leaves after conversation with Jesus
00:20:19
which started with the question What should
00:20:21
I do to have eternal life
00:20:24
and he leaves without eternal life he leaves
00:20:29
After the conversation
00:20:32
because he
00:20:36
thinks that
00:20:39
he knew absolutely nothing about the standard the
00:20:43
disciples watched the conversation
00:20:46
and were also impressed by this
00:20:48
guy they were impressed
00:20:52
because he was in charge
00:20:56
and the reaction of the disciples is This So who can be
00:20:59
saved
00:21:01
if the scrupulous Pharisee who was
00:21:05
chosen as a leader in the synagogue
00:21:08
was not in the kingdom who can be saved
00:21:12
Jesus answers saying by man it is
00:21:13
impossible
00:21:19
but with God
00:21:21
another matter everything is possible a
00:21:27
bright parable two people two states
00:21:31
two prayers two results This will take
00:21:36
two weeks
00:21:41
fit together wonderfully You know, I don’t
00:21:44
like telling stories two weeks
00:21:45
it’s really like that Well, what should you do?
00:21:47
After all, you need to understand this parable,
00:21:51
but now let’s analyze it first.
00:21:54
Wide audience I want you to understand
00:21:56
that the audience was wide because it
00:21:58
included everyone who didn’t in the
00:22:01
true Faith the
00:22:02
audience that was addressed to the parable was
00:22:04
very wide,
00:22:06
he also spoke to some who
00:22:08
were confident about themselves
00:22:11
that they were righteous and destroyed others.
00:22:14
So we immediately see to whom it was
00:22:16
addressed fulfilled he tells the
00:22:18
parable this is how it begins there is no
00:22:21
time indicator there is no transitional
00:22:23
clause so we don’t know for sure
00:22:25
whether Jesus told this parable in that
00:22:27
situation or not, he was talking about the kingdom,
00:22:30
maybe yes, maybe not, but
00:22:32
this is definitely God’s spiritual text from
00:22:34
Luke, this is the right topic because we
00:22:37
just talked about the kingdom, the Lord
00:22:39
is coming and you must be ready for his
00:22:41
coming
00:22:42
when he comes there will be division and
00:22:45
destruction of the wicked and corpses will lie everywhere
00:22:47
you need to be ready for the
00:22:49
coming of the king you need to be in her
00:22:51
kingdom the question arises How can a person
00:22:53
get into this kingdom who will be in
00:22:55
the kingdom and why so the parable
00:22:58
corresponds flow of thought
00:23:03
his listeners are some some
00:23:06
literally everyone Whoever is in Greek
00:23:09
everyone Whoever is very Wide
00:23:12
audience everyone everyone who is confident in
00:23:15
himself
00:23:17
that he is righteous
00:23:20
these are those who have at least a little hope
00:23:24
that they will go to heaven thanks to good
00:23:29
deeds, religious or moral
00:23:34
but in particular, who did he mean? Who in
00:23:37
Israel was the real leader of this
00:23:40
religion of trust in themselves and their own
00:23:43
righteousness?
00:23:55
to him and he
00:23:57
said They were given the words of Jesus you
00:24:00
show yourself to be
00:24:02
righteous before people You try to
00:24:05
look righteous in the eyes of people but
00:24:07
God knows your hearts for what is high among
00:24:12
people is an abomination to God So the
00:24:15
Pharisees
00:24:17
were the main builders of the system of
00:24:21
self-justification dominant in Israel
00:24:25
they had enormous influence among the masses
00:24:27
because they had influence in local
00:24:29
synagogues, which were essentially ruled by their
00:24:32
theology and sometimes by the Pharisees there,
00:24:35
so that people knew and were confident in themselves
00:24:37
that becoming righteous meant gaining a
00:24:40
place in the kingdom of God and
00:24:42
someday going to heaven - a
00:24:45
characteristic feature of this system -
00:24:47
confidence in the fact that you can achieve
00:24:49
righteousness by your own strength and by your own
00:24:52
deeds. How, pray tell, they
00:24:55
could get to this point having the Old Testament,
00:24:57
what did they do with the heart, which Lucao
00:24:59
most of all is extremely corrupted, where did they
00:25:01
go with the affairs that are no more soiled
00:25:03
clothes, what did they do with that fact
00:25:05
psalm 142 that no one will be justified
00:25:07
before God what they did with all this
00:25:10
easily pushed aside in sinful
00:25:13
pride and relied on their righteousness
00:25:18
these are truly the Pharisees these are the people who
00:25:21
followed the Phrisees But these are also all
00:25:24
those people at all times who
00:25:27
come up with different types of their approach to
00:25:29
God they believe that they can live a life
00:25:33
fit for God that they are somehow
00:25:36
good enough to be accepted by
00:25:40
God into his kingdoms into his favor and
00:25:43
into his heaven
00:25:46
this is all trusting in the religion of
00:25:48
human achievement
00:25:50
basically this is what the people of this world think
00:25:53
Go to street to people with people whining here and
00:25:55
there, start a conversation with anyone and Ask
00:25:58
him how you will get to heaven How you can
00:26:00
make peace with God how you will please God
00:26:03
how you will get into the Kingdom of God Well, you
00:26:05
need to be kind you need to be good
00:26:07
if you go, it’s unlikely find
00:26:10
someone who will say something other
00:26:11
than I think I'm pretty good I do
00:26:14
n't do it they always think about what they haven't
00:26:16
done
00:26:18
judging themselves at the lowest standard
00:26:20
comparing themselves to various serial
00:26:22
killers and degenerate people
00:26:25
now this is a lie that dominates As you know
00:26:28
in the world This is the most common
00:26:31
vile lie in the world that you can become
00:26:34
worthy of heaven if you are
00:26:35
moral enough and religious enough
00:26:40
However, remember that the standard is absolutely
00:26:42
perfect Be holy I wish I was holy You
00:26:45
must be as good as God and God is the
00:26:48
personification of goodness in the perfection
00:26:49
of eternity
00:26:53
But the people who listened to Jesus in that day
00:26:57
were consumed by the religious system with the
00:27:00
justification of the Pharisees this is what the
00:27:03
Pharisees claimed about themselves what they taught what
00:27:06
they defended this is what people fell for the
00:27:10
famous victim of this Great Lie
00:27:13
is none other than the Apostle Paul
00:27:15
testifying In the third chapter of
00:27:17
Philippians he says if anyone else
00:27:19
thinks Hopes on the flesh, then more I
00:27:22
want to talk about the achievements of the flesh about
00:27:24
how good a person can be
00:27:26
on his own listen to the circumcised
00:27:29
eighth day I followed the instructions of the
00:27:31
Old Testament from the tribe of Israel the tribe of Benjamin the
00:27:34
back of the tribes the Jew from
00:27:38
the Jews What does it mean I discredited all the traditions
00:27:40
according to the teachings of the Pharisee the most scrupulous
00:27:44
zealous of all the lawyers by
00:27:47
zeal so in love with their religion
00:27:49
that they persecuted the church and the culmination of the truth of the
00:27:53
lawful immaculate there was none of
00:27:56
ours from the outside who could point out
00:27:59
something in my life that was a visible
00:28:01
violation of the law
00:28:03
I followed the beliefs
00:28:05
I adhered to the rules
00:28:10
he lived like this, confident in himself that he could
00:28:13
be righteous,
00:28:16
they fasted
00:28:18
constantly, we will see this, they prayed, they lived
00:28:22
abstinence, they gave
00:28:24
tithes, they memorized the scriptures, they
00:28:28
invented laws to keep them,
00:28:34
anything to create the appearance of
00:28:37
holiness,
00:28:41
despite this, the
00:28:43
first Great Sermon of the New Testament and,
00:28:47
in a sense, Jesus begins the great sermon of the
00:28:49
gospel
00:28:51
sermon on the mount like this:
00:28:58
20 if your righteousness
00:29:02
does not exceed the
00:29:03
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees then you will
00:29:06
not enter the kingdom of heaven you
00:29:09
will not be in it spiritually you will not be there for
00:29:11
a thousand years and also you will not be there forever
00:29:15
if you do not have a righteousness that is
00:29:17
superior to the righteousness of the scribes And
00:29:20
no one could understand the Pharisees. What are you talking about?
00:29:23
They were the personification of human
00:29:26
righteousness. Can anyone surpass this?
00:29:37
In the 16th century in Germany there
00:29:42
lived a monk whose name was Martin Luther. He
00:29:46
sat in the Tower of the black monastery,
00:29:48
so named because they wore
00:29:50
black clothes there.
00:29:53
We think
00:29:54
about perfect of God's righteousness,
00:30:00
he was the most meticulous monk; reading
00:30:04
Luther's biography, you are amazed at how
00:30:06
meticulously
00:30:08
attentive he was to the little details of his life;
00:30:11
he confessed sins for hours every day and
00:30:19
asked for forgiveness for the slightest sins.
00:30:26
However, he understood
00:30:29
that with all these efforts it was impossible to
00:30:32
completely and absolutely achieve the standard of
00:30:36
perfect righteousness
00:30:42
because he knew his heart
00:30:47
tactics in essence he concluded that God's
00:30:50
righteousness is mercilessly
00:30:52
inexorably
00:30:53
vengeful
00:30:55
it is a kind of anger
00:31:00
he was sure that his situation was
00:31:02
hopeless when he was a child he was
00:31:06
told that God is full of chenna that Jesus
00:31:08
sits on a rainbow pouring out Wrath and the
00:31:12
only Hope of salvation is to
00:31:13
turn to Mary
00:31:15
and when He realized that the righteousness of God
00:31:18
This is perfection and this is what God
00:31:22
requires he got angry
00:31:25
That's what he said the
00:31:28
expression the righteousness of God was like a
00:31:31
lightning strike my heart I hated
00:31:34
Paul with all my heart
00:31:36
he hated Paul because Paul
00:31:39
wrote to the Romans about the righteousness of God
00:31:43
only He writes when I read the words of the
00:31:49
righteous, believing life will be
00:31:55
only then
00:31:57
I found Liberation
00:32:02
reading Augustine also helped him when I
00:32:07
realized that the righteousness of God is his
00:32:09
mercy and that he makes us righteous
00:32:12
by mercy it became the medicine
00:32:14
offered not for my illness, the
00:32:20
Pharisees never made such a
00:32:22
discovery
00:32:23
the people have not come to this discovery and the world
00:32:27
has not made this discovery
00:32:31
the world is basically trying to
00:32:35
reach God by doing good works
00:32:39
the Pharisees were sickening
00:32:43
or as Walter Lefield said they were
00:32:48
disgusting
00:32:51
and that is why we have the following
00:32:53
descriptions at the end of verse nine
00:32:57
they were not only confident in themselves that they are
00:32:59
correct but they also looked at others with
00:33:02
contempt they looked at others
00:33:09
contempt
00:33:11
is the worst insult
00:33:15
towards a person
00:33:18
Look at Luke 23.11 this word
00:33:21
appears in the gospel only twice
00:33:23
here in chapter 18 again 2311 but Herod with
00:33:27
his soldiers he slaughtered him and
00:33:29
mocking him dressed him in light
00:33:32
clothes it became back to Pilate
00:33:33
insult ridicule ridicule
00:33:36
sarcasm the lowest most caustic
00:33:39
form of ridicule the
00:33:42
Pharisees did this they looked at
00:33:44
those below no one outside their society with
00:33:46
contempt this word I think is quite
00:33:48
interesting for analysis expenial
00:33:52
it consists of two words like many
00:33:54
Greek terms, many verbs have a
00:33:57
preposition attached at the beginning
00:34:02
not even not the absence of anything no one
00:34:07
nothing existing they treated
00:34:11
others as if they did not exist In
00:34:16
addition, the same word is used by Peter
00:34:19
in Acts chapter 4 where he preaches and
00:34:21
talks about Jesus he is a stone
00:34:23
rejected by the builders, the same
00:34:26
verb of
00:34:28
the Chases, Jesus was treated as if
00:34:31
he was no one at all, no one
00:34:36
moreover, there is this word in the first
00:34:40
messenger in the first chapter, it is said that God
00:34:42
chose not the wise and not the noble of this world,
00:34:45
the lowly and mean nothing of this
00:34:48
world, God chose
00:34:51
So in this self-willed righteousness
00:34:55
in this pride there is contempt for everyone
00:34:58
who is lower than the Jews. The keepers of the law
00:35:02
were called Khabarin
00:35:04
and the violators of the law were called Amhara
00:35:09
renegades
00:35:11
and according to the concepts of the Pharisee he should not have
00:35:14
approached someone who
00:35:20
was completely unthinkable for him a
00:35:28
suitable candidate for the name
00:35:34
but there was also a Special a form of uncleanness
00:35:37
that appeared if someone
00:35:40
sat down or rode or even leaned
00:35:42
towards something unclean, this
00:35:45
uncleanness was called Ritual and for
00:35:49
the Pharisees it continues the clothes of the Mkhatians
00:35:52
were considered defiled by ritual
00:35:55
frequency
00:35:58
they did not approach the renegades and
00:36:01
dregs of society whom they despised
00:36:03
Remember me about this spoke so much
00:36:06
that they did not even teach them the law of God
00:36:14
So we see here two people
00:36:18
they are at different poles they
00:36:22
will be the ones through whose example Jesus
00:36:25
will convey the truth that he wants to
00:36:27
reveal to people who believe that they are
00:36:29
good enough to get to heaven
00:36:32
on their own,
00:36:33
the audience is truly universal
00:36:36
wide audience second
00:36:39
contrasting analogy
00:36:42
contrasting analogy finally we will
00:36:45
open the parable and begin to look at it the
00:36:49
tenth verse two people entered the temple
00:36:53
to pray
00:36:54
one was a Pharisee and the other a publican
00:36:59
prayed to himself like this God I thank you
00:37:03
that I am not like other people robbers
00:37:06
offenders adulterers or like this publican I
00:37:09
fast twice a week, a tenth
00:37:12
of everything I acquire, we will stop,
00:37:16
it will be very difficult to live with this guy
00:37:20
even for a week,
00:37:26
what we see is two people entered the frame
00:37:29
to pray, basically this happened
00:37:31
twice a day every day at 9 am and at
00:37:34
three days morning and evening
00:37:36
sacrifices were established for the
00:37:37
offering of burnt offerings, which is written in the
00:37:39
first chapter of Leviticus, they had to
00:37:40
go and sacrifice an animal
00:37:42
to shed blood as a symbol of atonement,
00:37:45
this was very, very important. These were
00:37:47
very scrupulous people who precisely
00:37:49
appeared at 9 in the morning and at three in the afternoon every
00:37:52
day.
00:37:53
features the Pharisees who were nearby
00:37:56
and could do this
00:37:59
So the crowd ascended the steps at the
00:38:02
appointed time sacrifices were laid on the
00:38:04
altar after the sacrifices which
00:38:07
symbolically opened access to God
00:38:09
as the Atonement was taking place
00:38:12
incense was burned symbolizing
00:38:14
prayer the Atonement was completed
00:38:16
so the prayer could be accepted
00:38:18
prayers were accepted then the
00:38:21
priestly was said blessing of the people
00:38:22
who were also there it was a
00:38:24
typical scene when it was pronounced
00:38:28
they entered the temple for prayer prayer
00:38:31
was combined with the service everything that was
00:38:32
happening the action the temple According to
00:38:34
Matthew 21:13 by the mouth of Jesus himself it was called a
00:38:37
house of prayer remember how he said the house
00:38:40
my house of prayer was called this expression
00:38:43
from Isaiah 56-7 And you made it a den of
00:38:45
thieves, a house of prayer synonymous with
00:38:49
worship, a house where you offer
00:38:51
your requests and your praise, and
00:38:56
so it was, and then the crowd began to climb the
00:38:59
long steep stairs to the temple
00:39:03
mount,
00:39:04
they climbed And they climbed to the bay to
00:39:08
worship that there were two people in the crowd and
00:39:11
everyone was very familiar with this scene; it
00:39:13
was an ordinary scene every morning, every
00:39:16
day it was the same picture;
00:39:18
they were going up because the
00:39:21
Atonement for sin was about to take place; some were
00:39:24
going because they felt they
00:39:26
needed this atonement; others were going
00:39:29
to show themselves.
00:39:32
it was for this purpose that they came to a crowded
00:39:35
place, the
00:39:41
moment came when everyone gathered
00:39:44
around the altar when
00:39:46
the sacrifice was burned on it,
00:39:48
after which incense was burned and then people
00:39:51
prayed to
00:39:55
the Pharisee whom we know, we have nothing
00:39:58
more to say about these people, you already
00:39:59
know all the most righteous
00:40:01
self-promotion yourself satisfied
00:40:03
developers and defenders of the religion
00:40:05
of human achievement Well, this is also
00:40:09
familiar to us, we know that they were the dregs of
00:40:11
society because they bought the right to collect
00:40:13
taxes from the Romans, idolaters and
00:40:15
oppressors, thus desecrating
00:40:17
themselves, they extorted money from their people
00:40:20
with the help of armed thugs
00:40:23
using intimidation, manipulation,
00:40:25
illegal actions and were surrounded by
00:40:27
renegades the dregs of society
00:40:31
So apparently they rise together in the
00:40:34
crowd but are separated when they arrive at the
00:40:37
place
00:40:38
First we see the Pharisee
00:40:41
he is standing There is nothing wrong with him
00:40:44
standing in fact the standing position is
00:40:46
acceptable and a normal position during
00:40:48
prayer
00:40:49
There are many positions on the
00:40:52
knees prostrate also
00:40:54
corresponds to prayer
00:40:56
hands down, eyes raised up, eyes
00:40:59
downcast, looking This was the usual way of
00:41:01
praying, raising your hands, standing, looking
00:41:03
up, Jesus spoke in Matthew 65 About
00:41:06
prayer while standing, but which you don’t need to do so
00:41:09
that people can see you, he says, don’t
00:41:12
be like the hypocrites who
00:41:14
stop praying to appear
00:41:16
before people, and so one of these
00:41:18
hypocrites standing position there is nothing
00:41:20
bad bad if they do this for people
00:41:22
again we return to the question of the state of
00:41:24
the heart It is quite possible that he found the
00:41:26
most noticeable place
00:41:29
closest to the holy place to show
00:41:32
his Closeness to God He wants to be
00:41:35
where he thinks or Believes there is God
00:41:38
so that those who are not pure around would look at a
00:41:41
truly Righteous man,
00:41:44
he sits there.
00:41:49
You can see not only his pose,
00:41:51
bulging pride, you see here his
00:41:54
prayer, an
00:41:56
interesting remark, he prayed in
00:41:59
himself, he prayed, in himself, there may be two
00:42:04
possible meanings, the first,
00:42:06
he prayed to himself, saying that
00:42:10
talk to yourself by yourself, you probably
00:42:12
mean that you do it so that
00:42:13
no one hears you. It’s possible, but it doesn’t seem
00:42:17
like he was just muttering and moving his lips
00:42:19
like Anna in the first book of kingdoms,
00:42:21
chapter one, they say a secret monologue to themselves, it’s
00:42:24
unlikely that there’s such an idea here,
00:42:28
it’s better to understand this construction that he really
00:42:29
said his prayer
00:42:33
praising himself.
00:42:38
This is clearly evident from the fact that in two verses
00:42:41
he addresses himself five times.
00:42:45
It is quite difficult here with short
00:42:48
sentences and a lot of personal
00:42:50
pronouns.
00:42:52
This is a prayer of self-empowerment and
00:42:56
our translation reflects this well;
00:43:04
he exposes you; this is not a prayer. to God
00:43:08
He does not offer praise to God,
00:43:12
he does not ask God for anything, neither mercy nor
00:43:15
grace nor forgiveness nor help,
00:43:19
however, he turns to God
00:43:23
God Because this is how
00:43:27
all prayers are supposed to begin
00:43:29
Thank you
00:43:33
that I am not like other people
00:43:36
Wow
00:43:38
What is there to thank God for,
00:43:41
you did everything yourself
00:43:45
This is pure hypocrisy,
00:43:49
this is not an ambiguous Confession to
00:43:52
God about your importance
00:43:55
about your righteousness,
00:43:59
thanking God for what your
00:44:02
merit is, this is
00:44:07
where self-willed
00:44:09
righteousness leads, I’m good enough God,
00:44:13
I thank you that I’m so good I’m
00:44:15
so good that I can communicate with you
00:44:16
I'm so good that I could be here in
00:44:18
your temple I'm so good that I'm standing
00:44:20
here in a Holy place I'm so good that I can
00:44:22
be a model of religious righteousness and
00:44:24
virtue I'm so good that I'm standing here so that
00:44:26
these renegades can see what a
00:44:28
truly pious person looks like man
00:44:32
I believe that our Lord's intention is
00:44:34
to show that he prayed to himself with a
00:44:37
prayer of praise himself, perhaps out loud
00:44:40
since the Jews usually prayed out loud the
00:44:44
rabbis Forbade only one thing a person
00:44:47
should pray out loud But not to shout there are
00:44:51
interesting facts Jewish
00:44:53
history about how the rabbis reproached people
00:44:56
who tried to outshout others in
00:44:58
prayer
00:45:01
and he actually put on a show
00:45:05
and so that everyone would understand him and so
00:45:07
that God could truly respect his
00:45:09
achievements he gets personal like
00:45:13
all good people do he compares
00:45:15
himself with the worst
00:45:18
So he says
00:45:21
I'm not like other people robbers
00:45:25
karpagis Greek word robbers
00:45:28
robbers
00:45:31
offenders
00:45:33
arigas means swindlers rogues adulterers
00:45:38
washing libertines
00:45:41
I'm not like that
00:45:44
And by the way, these are all those categories of people
00:45:47
who
00:45:48
are associated
00:45:51
with tax collectors,
00:45:55
fallen sinners and harlots who
00:45:59
were the scum of society
00:46:03
So he compares himself with those whom
00:46:05
he despises with the worst of those whom he
00:46:08
despises
00:46:10
all these sins are connected with the internal ones and their
00:46:13
accomplices and at that moment he sees a
00:46:16
good example of exactly the kind of person
00:46:18
he is not and he says or
00:46:23
like this publican that’s
00:46:27
how disgusting
00:46:31
he prays to himself
00:46:34
exposing himself to people
00:46:37
thinking that God is also under
00:46:40
the impression he
00:46:41
asks for nothing from He doesn’t seek anything from
00:46:44
God, he doesn’t need anything, he just
00:46:47
wants people to hear what a
00:46:51
truly righteous person looks like,
00:46:59
he is obliged to keep some
00:47:01
distance,
00:47:02
just touching any Amharan will
00:47:06
make him unclean,
00:47:09
and for the Pharisees, physical isolation was a
00:47:12
prescription
00:47:14
They stood apart from others When
00:47:16
they gathered around the altar they tried to be in the
00:47:18
company of people all the time they never
00:47:20
dined they did not recognize themselves at home with anyone
00:47:21
other than the Pharisees except when they
00:47:24
invited other people to catch
00:47:25
Jesus
00:47:29
by the way According to the Jewish law, when the
00:47:33
incense was burned after the morning
00:47:36
and evening sacrifices,
00:47:40
prayers were said and when they
00:47:43
began According to the target, there was
00:47:46
a group of Jews who, before the start of prayer, were supposed to
00:47:52
look for unclean people in the crowd and
00:47:55
lead them out through the eastern gate
00:47:59
to drive out all the unclean ones,
00:48:04
and perhaps the Pharisee was similarly
00:48:07
surprised how this publican even appeared in
00:48:09
his field of vision, because he was supposed to be
00:48:12
taken out through
00:48:14
eastern gate
00:48:18
but his prayer does not end with words
00:48:20
about who he is not, he wants
00:48:23
you to know and God to know and everyone to know who he
00:48:26
is,
00:48:28
he is not just not immoral, he is very
00:48:33
religious, he talks about two sides, he is
00:48:37
moral and religious as far as
00:48:40
religiousness is concerned 12
00:48:42
fasting two once a week
00:48:45
is impressive And by the way, the
00:48:48
Old Testament prescribed fasting only
00:48:50
once on the day of atonement in preparation for the
00:48:54
Day of Atonement Leviticus 1631 calls for
00:48:56
fasting there are no other obligatory fasts There
00:48:58
were times of sorrow times of repentance
00:49:01
times of lamentation when the people fasted
00:49:04
it was something they themselves appointed
00:49:06
there was only one prescribed
00:49:08
fasting but as I said such self-proclaimed
00:49:11
self-righteous ostentatious legalists love to
00:49:14
invent rituals and rites Like all
00:49:17
false religions they become more and more intricate
00:49:19
intricate intricacies
00:49:21
more and more symbolic in direct
00:49:24
proportion to the lack of truth
00:49:27
and reality
00:49:29
So they developed a scheme of fasting on
00:49:33
Mondays and Thursdays
00:49:35
Monday and Thursday why Monday
00:49:38
Thursday
00:49:39
because these were market days
00:49:42
there were more people
00:49:44
So you could go into a large crowd
00:49:47
and pour a mountain of ashes on your head looks
00:49:49
sad fasting create an imitation of
00:49:51
spirituality
00:49:53
So why is Monday Thursday some
00:49:57
authors wrote because on Monday
00:49:59
According to some rabbis,
00:50:01
Moses went to Sinai and later 40 days
00:50:04
on Thursday he came down So
00:50:07
Monday and Thursday
00:50:09
other rabbis suggest the following
00:50:11
explanation because Monday
00:50:13
Thursday are equally distant from Saturday are
00:50:15
as far apart as possible
00:50:20
So all these intricate tricky
00:50:24
things they came up with
00:50:26
to make a beautiful show in the flesh that's
00:50:30
what it says Paul Galatians 612 and there is
00:50:32
a mention of fasting
00:50:34
Jesus condemned this, remember that the chapter in the
00:50:37
Sermon on the Mount he said do not
00:50:39
fast like hypocrites in crowded places
00:50:41
On the corners attracting attention to yourself here we are
00:50:44
talking about exactly this
00:50:48
people put on ostentatious
00:50:50
spirituality
00:50:52
through a ritual form
00:50:55
through clothing vestments the way
00:50:59
they dress as if this is a sign of the
00:51:02
truth of holiness Then he says I give a
00:51:05
tenth
00:51:06
of everything I acquire just like a good
00:51:09
Baptist,
00:51:11
in fact no
00:51:13
I give a tenth of everything
00:51:16
I acquire in the old testament there is a
00:51:18
tithe statute 10 percent of
00:51:21
income goes to support the national of the
00:51:22
theocratic government
00:51:24
another 10 percent for national
00:51:27
holidays and feasts on holy days and another 10
00:51:31
percent every three years for the poor, that
00:51:33
is, 3 percent per year, the total tax was a
00:51:35
little more than 23 percent. Per year this was the
00:51:37
budget of the theocratic government of
00:51:39
Israel. This is all that the Lord
00:51:42
later required there was also a payment of half a seclin for the temple
00:51:45
and that’s all, but again they wanted to invent
00:51:48
the Law and reveal righteousness so
00:51:51
Matthew 23 23 Luke 1142 I think it also
00:51:54
says here that They gave tithes from mint,
00:51:57
they are
00:51:59
small spices.
00:52:01
They gave tithes from tiny seeds
00:52:04
and leaves of spices
00:52:07
to demonstrate their virtues of
00:52:11
holiness
00:52:13
keeping the law they were above the law
00:52:17
one Pharisaic prayer dating back
00:52:20
to the time of Jesus says
00:52:23
Thank you Jehovah My god that you have given
00:52:25
me a lot with those who sit in the house
00:52:27
of knowledge
00:52:30
I rise early like them I rise early
00:52:33
to sound the words of the tours they rise early
00:52:36
to give attention to
00:52:37
small things I exhaust myself like them
00:52:40
I exhaust myself with benefit they exhaust
00:52:43
themselves without gaining anything useful I
00:52:45
run like they run I run to the life of the
00:52:48
coming age they run a pit of destruction
00:52:52
such was self-righteousness in the mind of the
00:52:55
Pharisees
00:53:00
So Jesus tells a parable to those people
00:53:03
who think they can become
00:53:06
good enough to please God
00:53:10
satisfy God achieve righteousness
00:53:12
be accepted into his kingdom and heaven
00:53:15
by being highly moral and religious
00:53:18
and then the story ends dramatically with
00:53:21
these words
00:53:25
And now this is really interesting
00:53:30
about this next week let's
00:53:33
pray
00:53:36
father
00:53:38
we know how it is essential
00:53:42
to the glorious plan of redemption
00:53:47
our hearts ache because this
00:53:50
world
00:53:54
believes the great lie the great lie the
00:53:58
total deception
00:54:00
that heaven is for those who are good enough
00:54:05
father Help us learn this lesson that
00:54:08
the righteousness that satisfies you is
00:54:11
only your own righteousness
00:54:13
on one condition we will accepted by you
00:54:15
if your righteousness belongs to
00:54:18
us will be given to us
00:54:22
the only way you can
00:54:24
give us your righteousness is to
00:54:27
deal with sin
00:54:29
deal with our sin your way and
00:54:33
you did this by placing the sin on your
00:54:36
son
00:54:37
who died for us as a sacrifice
00:54:40
perfect
00:54:43
justice satisfied sin punished in
00:54:46
Christ, continue to open there the truths
00:54:49
of scripture when we hear about the glorious end
00:54:53
and again remember that you accept the
00:54:57
repentant sinner and not the self-righteous
00:55:02
heaven for those
00:55:05
who realize how sinful
00:55:08
they are for those who think that they already
00:55:12
belong to them, continuing to Lord the Bright to
00:55:15
powerfully reveal This in our life and let
00:55:17
us proclaim your gospel faithfully In the name of
00:55:19
your son Amen
