Jesus comes off the top rope as he denounces the wicked actions & intentions of the highest religious leaders in the land.
Jesus’ boldness is staggering.
God is not pleased with empty ritual or religion.
Men are so broken that they prefer religious activity to actually knowing and obeying God.
Don’t follow the bad example of these leaders.
Its easy to decry terrible examples like this- especially since they are supposed to know better. But beware! Anyone can fall into these patterns of legalistic empty religion.
Lord Jesus, may my lips match my words and my words match my heart.
