Jesus also taught, “Beware of these teachers of religious la! For they like to parade around in flowing robes and receive respectful greetings as they walk in the marketplaces. (New Living Translation)

LadyBug,
Jesus warned us of these teachers for good reason. He didn’t want us to be caught up in the position of teaching or leading. He wants us to know that looking like the “cool kid” isn’t what others need. They need to know His love and His words. They need to see what it is like to hold His promises in their hearts. Others need to see us get in the middle of their hurt with them so they can know that God loves them where they are. Jesus isn’t asking us to demand that others follow His instructions; He is asking us to be His instruction.
Let us be willing to be a part of the Kingdom work and not just speak words of how to do it.
