WHY DO YOU DO WHAT YOU DO?

“And he said,

Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.”

The Holy Bible: King James Version. (2009). (Electronic Edition of the 1900 Authorized Version., ). Bellingham, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.THE PHARISEES WERE

THE PHARISEES WERE TELLING OTHER PEOPLE TO LOVE AD OBEY GOD, BUT THEY WERE NOT DOING IT THEMSELVES.

King James Version Chapter 11

Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.

THE PHARISEES WERE APPROVING OF THE WAY THEIR FATHERS KILLED PROPHETS AND MAKING A MOCK AT THEIR SIN.

King James Version Chapter 11

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:

50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:

54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.

THE PHARISEES WERE JEALOUS OF JESUS AND WANTED TO DESTROY THEM.

WHY DO WE DO WHAT WE DO? FOR THE GLORY OF GOD OR FOR OUR SELF?
