Our paragraph topic is: (Woe to the Scribes and Pharisees) Part 5.
Christ continues to scold the Scribes and the Pharisees about their behavior. He calls them hypocrites in public for all to hear which is not good. The Scribes and the Pharisees are respected and honored and to call them hypocrites in public is bad.
Christ did not do this out of hate. He did not do this out of jealousy. He loved his people. He did this because he wanted to save the Scribes and the Pharisees. He wanted to open their eyes. He wanted them to see the truth of what they were doing to themselves and to the people. But they were so blinded that they could not see, they could not hear his love for them, they could not understand the truth of what he was doing for them. Therefore, he said to them: " Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!"
What would you do for someone that you loved that you knew was going in the wrong direction? Would you try to help them see what they were doing? Would you do everything in you means to open their eyes to the truth? What methods would you take to help them understand? God our father tried to make us understand but we were wayward children driven by the lust of our flesh. So he almost destroyed the human race. But he decided to start over with a chosen few.

He gave us free will to choose. And Christ gave us the choice of new life or death. His passion and love for the good that he saw in us allowed him to withstand the test of pain and suffering for all mankind. Not for one or two or three but for all men, all women, all children on this earth.
We live and die that we might show that we are worthy to have the choice of life with him in heaven. This is our entire purpose in life. Recognize the choice. Remember the choice. Live the choice in Christ.
Read the sign of the times! Read the Highlighted New Testament Bible and lift the scales from your eyes that you may see, that you may know, that you may find the truth of who you are in Christ. Read it as though you would read a good book, from cover to cover, and see for yourself. Do not study it in parts reading one passage nd then skipping to another, but read it for understanding. Read it for knowledge. Read it for faith. Read it that your eyes may be opened, that your ears may hear, that your heart may be filled with the light of Christ . The Holy Spirit awaits you. Christ seeks to know you. Open the door and let him in.
