Jesus’ ministry is now in year two.  As He deals with people we begin to see confrontation between the major religion of His day and Himself. Have times changed? Is it the same today?

Religion relies on the superstitious,
Relationship relies on the Savior

Religion affects the masses,
Relationship affects the man
  *Religion sees the Messiah but misses
   the message
   *Relationship see the man and presents mercy
Religion sees the mat and misses the miracle
Relationship seeks with grace but speaks with truth
Religion destroys relationship
Religion values ritual over relationship
Religion seeks destruction instead of discernment
Relationship defies religion because of Deity

Big Idea: 
Am I practicing religion
or pursuing a Relationship?
