As a follow up on the sermon yesterday, I would like highlight a quote from David Garland. His “Reading Matthew” has been enriching since studying Matthew. He is very effective at sweeping sections of Matthew to present a broad theme.
“Scribes are not poor in spirit (23:6-7); do not hunger and thirst for righteousness (23:13); are not merciful (23:23); are not pure in heart (23:28), and persecute the righteous (23:34), theirs will not be the kingdom of heaven but the judgment of hell (23:32)” (“Reading Matthew” pg. 236).
