The Pharisees loudly condemned people for breaking God\u2019s laws and made it clear that they were different, were more righteous. Jesus, on the other hand, did not hesitate to spend time with sinners and eat with them if it gave him an opportunity to show God\u2019s love to them and gently encourage them to follow God\u2019s ways. With sinners who knew their broken state, Jesus was merciful.\u00a0 On the arrogant Pharisees, he heaped contempt and judgment.<\/p>\n<p>A recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barna.org\/barna-update\/faith-spirituality\/611-christians-more-like-jesus-or-pharisees#.UkMsLVNTCSo\">study<\/a> by Barna Group shows that while some Christians model Christ-like attitudes and behaviors, many are more like the Pharisees in their viewpoints and actions. 51% of the self-identified Christians surveyed had behaviors and attitudes consistent with those of the Pharisees, such as avoiding those people they consider to be sinful and thinking that \u201cpeople who follow God\u2019s rules are better than people who do not.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Only 14% of self-identified Christians had behaviors and attitudes consistent with those Jesus modeled during his life (as written about in the scriptures), such as caring about persons for who they are rather than what they\u2019ve done and having compassion for people doing immoral things. A slightly higher percentage, about 21%, had a mixture of attitudes and behaviors, some Christ-like and some Pharisaic.<\/p>\n<p>In a time when many people outside the Christian church consider Christians to be hypocrites, it is significant to consider whether our attitudes and actions mirror Jesus or a group for whom he had many harsh words.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Discussion Questions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>When you look around at the Christians you know, do they seem more like the Pharisees (focused on rules and appearances) or like Jesus (focused on God\u2019s love and on showing compassion to others)?<\/li>\n<li>What steps do you think your church could take to be more Christ-like?<\/li>\n<li>Many non-Christians see Christians as being hypocrites. How do you think Jesus would answer such an accusation?<\/li>\n<li>What is the difference between accepting a person as they are and accepting an immoral behavior? Can we as Christians \u201clove the sinner but hate the sin\u201d?

When Jesus tells the disciples that if they had faith as tiny as a mustard seed they could make a tree throw itself into the ocean, he isn\u2019t talking about reciting the Apostles Creed.<\/p>\n<p>The kind of faith Jesus talks about is faith that gets into your life and <i>changes <\/i>you from the inside out, faith that compels you to treat those society thinks are the lowest of the low with dignity and respect. He means faith that leads you to stand up for what is right without putting down those you think are wrong, faith that takes you far out of your comfort zone to be the hands and feet of Jesus to all those people who think Christians are hypocrites.<\/p>\n<p>This kind of faith isn\u2019t primarily about doing things, although it ends up that way. This kind of faith is about <i>being <\/i>someone who gets to know Jesus in the most personal, give-away-your-heart kind of way. It\u2019s about becoming a person who does what Jesus would do because you just love Jesus so much that you can\u2019t help but follow in his footsteps. It\u2019s about transforming from a self-centered person into a God-centered person. God can really work through a person like that.<\/p>\n<p>The verses about the servant (7-10) don\u2019t appear to have much to do with these verses about faith. A deeper look, however, does show a connection. Jesus is making a point here. He\u2019s saying we can\u2019t do good deeds and think that God somehow owes us some kind of reward. That\u2019s not how God\u2019s kingdom works. We can get caught up in the \u201cservant\u201d or \u201cslave\u201d language and start thinking it doesn\u2019t apply to us today. We don\u2019t have slaves and not many people have servants anymore either.<\/p>\n<p>In the time when this was written, a servant was someone who was totally devoted to another person. Is it making more sense now? That\u2019s us, or it should be us\u2014totally devoted to God, right? In our devotion to God, do we feel like God should thank us or reward us? It\u2019s good to remember that in reality, we are all unworthy of what God has already given us. When we get to thinking we deserve rewards for doing what God wants, we can\u2019t focus on knowing Jesus and following him. The focus shifts back to ourselves, and God can\u2019t use us as well.<\/p>\n<p>Both these passages, seemingly very different, show what it is like to be a disciple&#8211;challenging, difficult, and yet so rewarding.<\/p>\n<h3>Discussion Questions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>If faith only counts when it is backed up by actions, do you consider yourself a person with great faith or little faith? Why?<\/li>\n<li>Why is it so difficult for the church as a whole to follow Jesus\u2019 example?<\/li>\n<li>Why is it difficult for you to follow Jesus\u2019 example?<\/li>\n<li>What steps could you take to be more Christ-like in your daily life? Do these steps seem difficult or easy? Why?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Activity Suggestions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>In most parts of the country, the weather is changing from summer into fall. What a great time to take a prayer walk, enjoy God\u2019s creation, and draw near to God. Thank God for making everything, and ask God to reveal what you can do to impact the world around you for Christ.<\/li>\n<li>With your class or youth group, explore the attitudes Jesus would have toward different groups of people you come into contact with regularly. What would Jesus think of the cheerleaders? Of the football players? Of the kids on the fringe of middle or high school life? How do you think Jesus would want you to approach them with the love of God? Try to come up with some concrete ideas for actions to take.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Closing Prayer<\/h3>\n<p>Lord God, bring us into an ever deeper relationship with you. We pray that we would allow that relationship to transform us to be more like your son, Jesus. Help us to take Jesus\u2019 attitudes and actions into the world around us and love people with your love. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Contributed by Jen Krausz, Bethlehem, PA Warm-up Question What do you consider great faith or devotion to look like?
