Let me tell you how we know we're leaning toward becoming a Pharisee.

When we sit back and go, if I were Jesus, I would...

If I were Jesus, I wouldn't have anything to do with that.

If I were Jesus, I certainly wouldn't have called them.

If I were Jesus, I would not't have called them. If I were

Jesus, I would not put up with that for 10 solid minutes. Once we're playing, if I were Jesus,

we're full on into the Pharisees syndrome. Anybody know what I'm talking about? It's a beautiful thing

to catch ourselves in it. Oh, that's me.

There goes Simon.

Now, I want to read verses 40 through 46.

It says, in Jesus answering said to him, Simon, I have something to say to you, and he answered, say it, teacher.

A certain money lender had two debtors.

One owed 500 denary and the other 50.

When they could not pay, he canceled the debt of both.

Now, which of them do you think will love him more?

Simon answered, the one, I suppose, for whom he canceled the larger debt.

Now, you know at that point he was feeling a little bit caught.

This was not going to be the answer that was going to lead exactly where he was hoping this would go.

And he said to him, you have judged rightly.

I think it's an interesting thing for Jesus to say because he'd been, Simon had been judging all that time.

But he finally just like judged rightly.
