Dance Ministers, who do you love? Who are you set out to please?
John 12:37-43 and Matthew 5:41-44
In John 12:42-43 we read
“Nevertheless
among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the
Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the
synagogue: For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of
God.”
Pharisee- a Jewish sect- also called the “pious ones.” A society of men zealous
for religion, who acted under the guidance of the scribes. They were the
more popular and influential party. They had a zeal for the law – their
attitude was external, formal and mechanical. They laid stress not upon
the righteousness of action, but upon its formal correctness.
