Imagine…

Confusing parables

“But woe to you, scribes and

Pharisees, hypocrites! For you

lock people out of the kingdom

of heaven. For you do not go in

yourselves, and when others are

going in, you stop them.”

Matthew 23:13 (NRSV)

“Woe to you, scribes and

Pharisees, hypocrites! For you

tithe mint, dill, and cummin, and

have neglected the weightier

matters of the law: justice and

mercy and faith. It is these you

ought to have practiced without

neglecting the others.”Matthew 23:23 (NRSV)

Look at me!

Now I’ll get into

Heaven!

That’s goat-talk.

We are ALL the least of these!

What you have

done for the least

of these, you have

done to me.
