Read Luke 7:18-35 SOAP Luke 7:33-35
What an interesting verse (Luke 7:35). When I saw it was our memory verse this week, I was intrigued, not having memorized this one before. The Pharisees couldn't be pleased - not by John the Baptist and not by Jesus. They were two totally different men, John with his crazy appearance and interesting eating habits. Jesus with his sinner friends and appearances at weddings. No, these two men were not alike. But the message was the same, "Repent and follow Jesus." Jesus addresses the Pharisees' unbelief by saying, "Look at the proof. Look at the ones following the teaching of John. Look at the ones following my teaching. They are the children of wisdom."
The ones who were following Jesus and John were proof enough of the correctness of their teaching. Is my life proof of the correctness of Christ's teaching? Does my life provide justification for this wisdom? Am I a child of wisdom? God's wisdom must characterize my life and my choices. I can't be a mess like everyone else who is unsaved. I must be wise, following God's Word and wisdom.

ReplyDeleteHow thankful I am that Jesus came for the publicans and sinners, that means He came for me!! The soap scriptures today remind me not to get corrupt like the Pharisee did and think that since I am saved then I am a lot better off than THAT person who doesn’t look like the type I hang with or maybe they don’t dress like I do or smell or…..whatever. Jesus came for all and I pray we would never get to holy to help the lost. I am thankful we have the bible and the Holy Spirit to direct our lives, to convict us when we stray, and to bring us in line with His purpose for our lives.
