LUKE 11 : 37-44

I AM A PHARISEE!

37 While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. 38 The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner.

39 And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40 You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.

42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 

43 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 

44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”

And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world … the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God.

Rev. 12:9-11.

Final Thoughts

We leave our fingerprints on each other’s souls, whether a fingerprint of bitterness and anger or a fingerprint of justice and of love. Therefore it is imperative that our thoughts, our desires, our actions have roots in the faith we confess with our lips.
