The Parable of the Willing Pharisee (Imagined)
No, it is not in scripture, but we used scripture and the meaning to write this parable. I prayed even before releasing this Podcast. Please listen and consider the source material in light of the intent.
We start where Jesus is called out of a crowd to His mother and brothers. We often are taken aback by Jesus's response. In fact, the emotional response to this passage is often about the rejection of His blood family in favor of His spiritual family. In that exchange we are as stunned as we can imagine his own family would have been and, in that moment, we have lost the message.
In this article, we take a look at the true meaning and then we asked the question. If Jesus is emphasizing obedience, what is it the Pharisees are missing? They followed the law to the letter. To help explain this, we imagined "The Parable of the Willing Pharisee". Let's be very clear that this is NOT A SCRIPTURAL reference, but we used scripture to support its meaning (all noted in the appendix).
