Commentary: Matthew 23:1-12

“The scribes and the Pharisees have taken their seat on the chair of Moses. Therefore, do and observe all things whatsoever they tell you, but do not follow their example. For they preach but they do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens hard to carry and lay them on people’s shoulders, but they will not lift a finger to move them.”

Jesus, help me to remember to hold myself to the standards I hold for my children. Whether it’s the content of my entertainment or the charity of my speech. I don’t want them to ever think that there is a double standard.
