"And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail."
In today's lesson, Jesus condemned the Pharisees for their covetousness and hypocrisy.
Much of what is said about the Pharisees in this lesson can equally be applied to many of today's so-called Christians. It seems the worship of God has become all about pomp and little about getting the good news of God's saving grace to the lost.~
