#127: Matt 23: It'll Make Writing Father's Day Cards Harder...

from What in the Word? · host Miriam Fisher

In this episode we answer a listener question about Matthew 23, where Jesus condemns religious hypocrisy and tells his followers not to crave titles like "rabbi" or "father." We explore the context, consider whether Jesus is making a blanket ban on calling anyone "father," and consider his warning against seeking honor and status that belongs to God. If you have a bit of the Bible that makes you wonder, email [email protected], and we'll try to cover it.
