Luke 11:45-46, 52
45 Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, “Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also.” 46 And He said, “Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. .. 52 “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”
Experts in religious law, somewhat like today's theology professors or church denomination leaders, here were accused of mandating others do what they themselves felt above lifting a finger to do. They were also accused of keeping people ignorant to keep others from God along with themselves because of their own religious rules that were not even God's. History shows that has continued. We must not. To worship and serve in spirit and in truth by God's standards, not our made up ones, we must rightly cut God's word!
