Greg Bryan contrasts religion and the gospel from Luke chapters 17 through 20. In religion, prayer is a duty.In the gospel, prayer is a privilege!In religion, prayer is impersonal and ritual in nature but in the gospel, prayer is personal, and relationship based.  Those who follow Jesus have a proper view of God.  He's a tender-hearted, loving father.  But those who get stuck in religion often have a wrong view of God.In RELIGION:prayers are self-centered.  The Pharisee had an "I" disease.prayers reflect spiritual pride.we repent and pray less and less.we seek to justify ourselves.In the GOSPEL:prayers are God-centered "God, have mercy on me, the sinner."prayers reflect humble dependence on Godwe repent more and more (because we have a growing awareness of God's holiness and our sinfulness.)we seek to be justified by Christ alone.Rich Young Ruler--esteemed by others--Jesus never mentioned his name (was defined by his riches)--unwilling to let go of his riches (high value on temporal things)--went away sadZacchaeus--looked down on by others--Jesus called him by his name--willing to let go of his riches (higher value on eternal things)--went away filled with joy

What is your functional savior?  Greg Bryan and Jim Reske discuss Luke 18:18-3018 A certain ruler asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”19 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 20 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.’[a]”21 “All these I have kept since I was a boy,” he said.22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”23 When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy. 24 Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! 25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”26 Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?”27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”28 Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!”29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.”

What is the difference between religion and the gospel?  Greg Bryan and Jim Reske discuss Luke 18:9-14.  9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

Greg Bryan and Jim Reske discuss Luke 17:11-19 which exposes the engine of the Christian life.11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy[b] met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”
