20)And JESUS saith unto him
the foxes have holes, and the
birds of the air have nests;
but the SON of man hath not
where to lay his head

SELF –DENIAL
It is not possible that the
man is teacher of the law
who want to follow JESUS be
cause he believed he is more
superior Teacher, even
though JESUS oppose their
legalistic religion of man
made tradition and some
time condemn them.
The scholar propose to go
any place with JESUS note “ I
will follow you where ever
you go” but he has not count
the cost of self denial and
and sacrifice
JOHN 16:24-26
The scholar wants to follow
JESUS with same wordly state
and JESUS pointed it, if he is
willing to surrender all, that
the kingdom of GOD is not
about house, building,
possession, seek material
wealth, he was committed to
the world
*JESUS said that he does not
even have the normal
luxuries that people have,
and demand total
abandonment self, he
demand first place in the
believers life; surrender of all
materials l possession ,
goods and anything that take
the person’s control.

39)And the LORD said unto
him, how do ye Pharisees
make clean the outside of
the cup and the platter; but
your inward part is full of
ravening and wickedness
40) Ye fool, did not he that
made that which is without
make that which in within
also?
41)But rather give alms of
such things as ye have; and
behold all things are clean
unto you

RITUAL SELF
RIGHTEOUSNESS
RELIGIONIST – HEART
The first charge By JESUS
CHRIST, was that the
religionist were clean
ceremonially but unclean
within, they kept their
religious ceremonies, but
they did nothing about the
human heart
*Religionist clean the
outside and not the inside,
within
They treat religion like a
person who be washing
dishes, the person wash the
out side of the cup and
platter but left the inside
dirty.
*The heart of the Religionist
was full of greed, which
means plunders, seizing,
extortion, robbery, taking by
force.
*JESUS said must religionist
not only does this things but
are filled with wickedness
and plunder, They are
looters, who plundering the
way of GOD, trying to seize
GOD’S kingdom his own way,
instead of following the way
of GOD, they refuse to follow
GOD but Mammon and mans
doctrine.
*A man, religion or non
religious, cannot establish his
own righteousness, he
cannot make himself clean
enough to approach GOD;
not by works, nor by religious
ceremonies and worship, nor
*by cleaning up the outside
of his life
GOD made both outside and
inside(THE HEART) of man ,
JESUS said the outside is not
all that unclean but the
inside the heart,
*He called the religionist
foolish people, that man
have to give GOD clean heart
and a clean body, A Spiritual
heart and a religious body
*The heart is the source of
evil: MARK 7:21 therefore, it
has to be cleansed by JESUS
CHRIST, even the heart of
religionist, the given of one’s
heart cleans every thing.
SALE WHAT YOU HAVE AND
GIVE ALMS
Give what is inside the dish
to the poor, don’t take from
them,
To give all he has to GOD, by
which he will become clean
within

LUKE 21:34

34) And take heed to
yourselves, lest at any time
your hearts be over charged
with surfeiting, and
drunkenness, and cares of
this life, and so that day
come upon you unawares
35)For as snare shall it come
on all them that dwell on the
face of the whole earth
36)Watch ye therefore and
pray always, that ye may be
accounted worthy to escape
all these things that shall
come to pass, and to stand
before the SON of man
