Show Notes

This part of Luke chapter 15 tells us truly many things, and among them it tells us that only when a born-again person’s own rightness—that is, the part where he says that he himself is right before God—is broken can the Lord use him. We cannot say that our rightness is more right than the righteousness of God, than the rightness of God, just because we do the work of God well or because we preach the gospel of God. No matter how much a person lives for the gospel, and no matter how excellent a man of God he is, he cannot say that he is better than that love and that righteousness of God, who saved us through Jesus Christ. It is that righteousness by which Jesus received baptism from John in the Jordan River, had all the sin of the world transferred to Him, and died for us in our place, and so caused us to be born again. But many people, while believing in God, live with a heart like that of the first son and act in such ways. That is why many people make the heart of God feel hurt and commit many wrongs before God.
