In today’s passage Luke presents us with three confrontations where the Pharisees questioned Jesus based about the Law. In each of these interactions, Jesus provides an illustration to correct and teach the Pharisees. Luke 5:33-6:11

The religion of the pharisees was DEAD. It was fuelled by PRIDE and empowered by LAW – but THAT ROAD LEADS TO RUIN! The obedience God requires is to be fuelled by LOVE and empowered by the SPIRIT. Matthew 5:33-37
