The 7 woes.

Verse 4: They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
***Sounds a little bit like what we’ve been talking about. Jesus’s yoke is not heavy. Trying to get someone to acknowledge sinfulness before telling them about a loving God is a heavy load. I don’t think He intended for us to carry it, it is the Holy Spirit’s job to convict of sin. Placing such a heavy, cumbersome load onto others is a sign of hypocrisy, which Jesus isn’t very fond of. So, thanks for bringing up that passage in scripture.
