Matthew 23

Matthew 23
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

This chapter is about duties of the scribes and the Pharisees that sit in Moses' seat. It is about the place of God in our lives. And, it may be a message to our pastors.

Matthew 23
8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

Some Questions
Who gets your respect? Who is your teacher? Who do you look to in times of need? Who gives us advice, when you are desperate?

With this passage in mind, here are some more questions, asked a little differently.  What is more wonderful than the good pastor, preaching the Word of God....in way that we can truly see the majesty and the glory of God? And, what is more wonderful than the good pastor who gives you that one needed piece of advice that, in the end, keeps you from falling off the cliff?
