Evening: Psalms 19, 46; Matthew 23:13-24
Jesus pulls no punches in denouncing Pharisees and scribes. These are religious legalists who lay burdens on people that are too heavy to bear. We do this to ourselves, too, thinking we are unworthy of respect or love, maybe because we broke rules we did not understand anyway ... Like: It’s wrong to think this, or that. Are you labouring under such burdens? Examine the life commandments you follow that make you feel unsure of yourself. You can probably let them go ... Any rule that prevents you from experiencing justice, mercy and faith is not worthy of you.
