Read Mt 23.13-36 – “Woe to you!” I don’t know about you but I cringe every time I read this. Jesus comes off the top ropes on the religious leaders of His day. I can’t help but notice some of the same characteristics in my own life, Yikes! But here’s the deal. There is cleansing on the “inside” when we simply confess, “Yup, I want to be called by some noble title so people will think I’m better than I really am.” That’s step one. Step two is to begin to let the Holy Spirit knead that stuff out of us. Are we confessing and repenting in the power of the Spirit?
