Topic: THE PHARISEES
Word: Matthew 23:2 NLT
The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses.
Here’s My Take:
MODERN DAY PHARISEES:
Characteristics of a "Modern-Day Pharisee":
6. Lack of Mercy: Another character of modern-day Pharisees is a lack of mercy.
Do you remember the story of the woman caught in the act of immorality? Those who brought her forward included the Pharisees. Interestingly, they left the man involved and chose to publicly parade the woman instead. That same attitude is still present today.
I once shared with a church that the most publicized sin is sexual immorality. A leader may lie, hate, or even act unjustly, and it may not gain much attention. But once it involves sexual sin, it becomes headline news, and the consequences can follow the person for a lifetime.
To be continued...
Conclusion:
Modern-Day Pharisees do not show mercy, especially when that person is at their mercy. Because they like dealing with people.
Song:
Purify my heart, let me be as gold
And precious silver...
Refiner's fire, my heart's one desire
Is to be holy
Set apart for you Lord... Ready to do Your will
Prayer: May the Lord purge and liberate His Church from the Pharisaic mentality. In Jesus name. Amen.
