Passage: Matthew

Summary
In this chapter Jesus preaches one of his last sermons here on earth and it’s directed right at these religious leaders. He doesn’t hold anything back. If you grew up thinking of Jesus as a Mr. Rogers of Nazareth who was always smiling, winking at people, and wearing a sweater vest, the tone Jesus takes with these religious leaders may surprise you. The name of the sermon we’re going to study is not “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” This sermon is traditionally called “The Seven Woes.”
