“Unless you do far better than religious leaders in the matters of right living, you won’t know the first thing about entering the kingdom.” ~~Jesus
Jesus is tough on religious leaders. He doesn’t cut them any slack.
He challenges us that we can do better than how religious leaders approach God’s world (Kingdom). He wants us to start from the knowledge that this is God’s world. He is in charge. It is not a democracy.
He wants us to love God more than anyone or anything. He wants us to love everyone we come in contact in a very real and concrete way.
Jesus knows we can do better and it doesn’t start by emulating religious leaders.
“Unless you do far better than religious leaders in the matters of right living, you won’t know the first thing about entering God’s world.” ~~Jesus (Matthew 5 The Message)
