Go time
In Matt. 23 we see a fighting side of Jesus. He is basically calling out the pharisees as they are trying to undermine what He is trying to accomplish in the Kindomg, "You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying." I think if they were just refusing to enter themselves, I think Jesus would have let them alone, but since they were oppressing others from living in the kingdom, that's what brings Jesus out.
There is a lot here, but one part that stuck out to me. Jesus says you give your tythes, but neglect the more important matters of the law -- (Here they are, are you ready) justice, mercy, and faithfulness. He goes on to say you strain out the gnat but swallow a camel. I wonder what that looks like today?

Ouch, I wonder how often we do the very same thing today?! Leaving out justice, and mercy, for things that you spoke about like holiness and truth?
