| Jesus on Leadership |
When we read how the scribes and Pharisees burdened the people, do we then leave it as a warning for church leaders and not the rest of us (Matthew 23:1-12)? Is that fair? Could the truth be that what we see in the scribes and Pharisees is true for every human being? Our humanity brings the burden of sin. Jesus encouraged us to come to him if we are heavily laden (Matthew 11:28-30). His ministry is to give rest to those who are burdened. He will give rest to our souls. There is no rest in gossip, slander and politics. There is no rest in all the promises of infomercials on television. There is no rest in false gospels. There is rest in Jesus. He invites us to join him in a ministry of release from heavy burdens.
