FOLLOW JESUS
Jesus criticized some legalistic religious leaders “YOU MAKE
STRICT RULES THAT ARE VERY HARD FOR PEOPLE TO
OBEY. BUT YOU YOURSELVES DON’T EVEN TRY TO
FOLLOW THOSE RULES” [Lk 11:46 IC]{Mt 23:4}. Yes, today
some religious leaders also impose manmade rules and
unreasonable requirements on people. Our first defense is to
examine the requirements in the light of Jesus’ teachings, who also
said, “THE WORK THAT I ASK YOU TO ACCEPT IS EASY.
THE LOAD I GIVE YOU TO CARRY IS NOT HEAVY” [Mt
11:30 IC]. Better to follow Jesus than religious leaders. If a
religious leader does not encourage following Jesus totally, seek
God’s guidance to find another leader. Do you follow Jesus?
