They're listening to the wrong song.

Tradition! Tradition.

Tradition is good, but always consider scripture.

The eyes of the evil one are always on us.

Forget the numbers. Get to work.

The kingdom of God is like a mustard seed, not like Jack's beanstalk seeds.

Jesus says a number of frightening things. There will be division – father against son. To whom much is given, much will be required. You’re just as bad as those who were killed by Pilate (or by a falling tower). This is all quite shocking, but the disciples need this wake-up call.

Except it wasn't a healing

Jesus gives them a shock.

But why does that make them hypocrites?

It's complicated.

Jesus’s teaching focuses on what’s important and what’s not. Beware of the dangers the Pharisees represent, especially blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. The end could come at any moment. Are you prepared? What is your treasure? Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
