He was so non-technical or non-academic in his approach. He made it so a little child could get it. When an issue came up, he brought it down to one truth- not three points or some outline or system. Just one thing. Jesus always seemed to teach the simplest and the most practical way. He was so non-technical or non-academic in his approach. He made it so a little child could get it.

Then it hit me... sometimes I am these evil men. A more direct application for me is to not be one of these evil, hypocritical religious leaders. Here are some things I see these religious men doing here that I sometimes get caught up in: -constantly questioning and never trying to understand -doubting and not trusting in Jesus' authority -not listening and learning when Jesus confronts my sin -getting distracted by religion and forsaking genuine love -trying to impress others Lord, help me to better hear and follow you. I want to authentically love you more and trust your leading.
