And He [Jesus] said to them in His doctrine, “Beware of the SCRIBES, which LOVE to go in long CLOTHING, and LOVE SALUTATIONS in the MARKETPLACES, and the CHIEF SEATS in the SYNAGOGUES, and the UPPERMOST ROOMS at FEASTS; which DEVOUR widows houses, and for a PRETENSE make LONG PRAYERS: these shall RECEIVE GREATER DAMNATION (Mark 12:38-40)… It’s AMAZING how the READING of these verses INSTANTLY brought to MIND the prevalent SPIRIT of much of LEADERSHIP over the Body of Christ and in CHURCHES today; especially amongst the TITLE-MONGERS who have EXALTED themselves above Jesus in the sight of people. I think about how they LOVE wearing the DESIGNER and CUSTOM-MADE CLOTHING; how they LOVE being SEEN and ENJOY the PRESTIGE they receive when their NAMES are ANNOUNCED attached to their SELF-APPOINTED TITLES; how they FLOCK to the BEST SEATS at GATHERINGS and BUM RUSH the PULPIT to be SEATED whenever they VISIT another’s church; how they ALWAYS have their hands out BEGGING, CONNIVING and MANIPULATING to EXTORT MONEY from those people LESS FORTUNATE than themselves to CONSUME upon their own LUSTS for WEALTH and MATERIALISM; and especially how they PRETEND to be SPIRITUAL with all the SCREAMING, YELLING, HOLLERING, HOOPING, HACKING and THEATRICS – all a PRETENSE at being DEEP in their RELIGIOSITY and keep their SMOKE and MIRRORS facade going in the presence of the IGNORANT, UNKNOWLEDGEABLE, and UNSUSPECTING. Yes, when I SEE what Jesus SAW in the RELIGIOUS LEADERS of His day, I have to say to myself, “Maybe there really is such a thing as REINCARNATION after all – because that SPIRIT is most certainly ALIVE and THRIVING in the very same LEADERSHIP today!!!”
