Losing the Crushing Burden; Luke 18:9-14
Delivered during the Sunday Morning Worship Service, 11/17/2024. For the second time in a row, Jesus tells a parable where a simple discussion of prayer sets the scene for a deeper discussion of justification. The parable tells the story of two men who are polar opposites, worshiping alongside the congregation in the Temple, at the time of the daily sacrifices. The Pharisee's prayer is more like a sermon, extolling his virtues to God and those around him, while harshly judging the tax-collector. For his part, the publican stands at a distance in humility begging God for mercy. When we consider the surroundings, the liturgy of the worship service, and the meaning of the words he speaks-- we will realize the penitent man is praying for atonement. We will analyze what that means and consider the man's intentions in sharp contrast to those of the Pharisee. We will note how Jesus uses Old Testament soteriology to emphasize the importance of faith, humility and brokenness in the conversion process leading to justification. We will compare the man's substantial sin as a great burden that has grown so large it threatens to crush Him. Ultimately we will discover what a blessing it is for any fallen sinner to realize the crushing burden of their own sin and turn to God to lose it.
