THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 60: Pretended Holiness |
|
|
The explosive rebuke of the religious leadership
continues as Jesus faulted the Pharisees for their scrupulous tithes
on spices, but when it came to important matters such as judgment,
mercy, and faith, they treated the Mosaic law with contempt. They
looked outwardly holy, but were full of extortion and malice. Jesus
likened them to whitewashed tombs who were spiritually dead. They
were outwardly holy, but behaved just like the Devil. He also called
out their involvement with the Kabbalah and their allegiance to the
holy serpent. The Son of God promised the send prophets, wise men,
and scribes to call sinners to repentance, and just like their
wicked forefathers, the Pharisees would persecute and kill the
righteous. Jesus desired to see these men repent and His parting
words were a warning that they had been given over to Satan because
they stubbornly refused to recognize His divinity. |
