"esus Christ said some harsh things to the Pharisees of His time. Remember that the Pharisees seem to have been birthed during the time of the exile of the Jews. They distinguished themselves by focusing on learning the Law of God and oral tradition, the passed-on teachings about the Law of God; this they taught to the people. The problem was that the oral teachings about the
Law of God was seen as the Law of God, to break a historic teacher’s rule was to break God’s Law. This is what we see Jesus critiquing. Jesus pointed to the actual laws of God and their purpose. Ironically, the laws of the Pharisees sometimes undermined the actual Law of God that they were claiming to uphold. We need to be so careful that we don’t put ourselves or others in God’s place. He is morality, He is truth, He knows the way. We are not equal to God. We must
keep realistic humility and go to the Bible for truth.
We are a family-run international ministry with television, print and online programs designed to guide you through the Bible in one year.
From social issues and apologetics to theology, history and science, our mission is to educate, edify and encourage the believer to actively engage with God’s Word in all ways.

Trials of Pain; Matthew 26-28
Many of the prophets before Jesus had experienced difficult trials and bitter rejection, but what we see with Jesus has a special sharpness to it. The One who created humanity, the One who chose the nation of Israel itself, being rejected by them, has a different depth to it. In Matthew, we are t...
