—Matthew 23:1-11
by: Kay Samuels.
Jesus told the crowd and His disciples to obey the instructions of the teachers of the Law, but not their behavior. The teachers of the Law taught correctly, however they did not seem to follow their own teachings. No wonder Jesus called them “hypocrites and whitewashed sepulchers.” Being a teacher is a very responsible position. Jesus was the ultimate teacher for us to emulate. Not only should we follow what He said, we are encouraged to do what He did. Let us be like Jesus—talk the talk and walk the walk. After all, that is what He does and we are His followers.
