COT: Read passages from Evangelical Pharisees by Michael Reeves. Summary of thoughts: we all know that there is a way we ought to be and deep down we know that we aren’t living up to that standard. Also, we have sinful pride. We can more easily see it in others than ourselves. Consequently, we continually focus on ourselves, striving try so hard to justify ourselves. Instead of looking up to God and his glory and grace, we look down at our own achievements, look down at others for approval, and look down on others in competition. Michael Reeves said this about Pelagius (a 4th-5th century monk): “he sought not to enjoy God but to use him as a gatekeeper who sells us entrance into heaven for the price of being good.” However, we can never be good enough. Looking at ourselves results in either a prideful phariseeism or a hedonistic pursuit of what feels good. These lead only to frustration and a narcissistic spiral of increasingly unsatisfied desires or worse apathy, depression, and isolation. Instead we can look at “the one so superabounding in life and blessedness that he generates glory.” As Martin Luther wrote, at the cross we see that “the love of God flows forth and bestows good… sinners are attractive because they are loved; they are not loved because they are attractive.
