Matthew 23:1-12
1. Why did Jesus criticise the Pharisees?
Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy loads and put them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Everything they do is done for men to see, they love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have men call them 'Rabbi.'
The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
1 Peter 5:1-6
2. What does God give to the humble?
Young men should be submissive to those who are older. We should clothe ourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.
