Setting Priorities in Order Luke 6:1-11
Setting Priorities in Order • Ritual vs. Reality. • Ritual focusses on the tradition. • Reality focusses on the intent/motive. • The intent of the rule. • The motive of the rule-breaker.
Setting Priorities in Order • Ritual vs. Reality. • Legalism vs. Love. • Legalism knows no exceptions. • Love knows no bounds. • Love restores lives. • Legalism destroys lives. • Legalism breeds hypocrisy.
What does that mean to me? • I need to focus on reality and not on mere ritual. Rituals, although comfortable at times, do not produce righteousness. • I need to love people more than rules. • I need to focus on restoring people’s lives.
