要小心宗教
现在是讲对犹太宗教领袖的审判。你们有祸了！这句话很凶。你们有祸了，有祸的意思就是神不称许你。不仅神不称许你，神还责备你。主耶稣对犹太宗教领袖的审判，说实话，就是对宗教徒、宗教领袖的审判，那个时候是犹太教，今天就不一定是犹太教了，就基督教里，也有很多叫你觉得很特别的基督徒。什么叫宗教，根据所宗而施教。我有个宗，根据我所宗的，我来施教。
没有主作实际就是假冒为善
主耶稣来了，就讲这些有信仰的人。这些有信仰的人有个特点：你们是假冒为善的文士和法利赛人。说实话，我若是一个文士或者法利赛人，我一定跟主耶稣抗议，我什么时候假冒为善了？你不能因为我衣服做得好，就说我假冒为善；你也不能因为我衣服的穗子做得宽一点，就说我假冒为善。但是主就说了，任何宗教的活出，如果没有主作实际，都是假冒为善。有实际了就没有假冒为善，没有真实就是假冒为善。文士也好，法利赛人也好，文士是读经的、解经的，法利赛人是犹太的贵族。所以这些贵族，衣服也是特别做的，有个特别的形式，穿得也好，叫人一看就是我们中间的领袖。
愿我们所作的，都是圣徒的祝福，而不是拦阻！
现在主要来审判了。先审判谁呢，先从所谓绝对跟随主的人开始。以色列人中间带头的，根据圣经解经是文士，根据生活是法利赛人。你们这假冒为善的文士和法利赛人有祸了！因为你们正当人前，把天国的门关了。就不再是你的问题了，是你产生的影响的问题了。
神看我们不光是我们的得胜、失败，神也看我们在弟兄们中是帮助人的还是伤害人的。像我们尤其要小心，我们要告诉主：我们都是软弱的，我们都是有自己感觉、观念的，求你赦免我们，愿我们所作的，我们所行的，都是弟兄们的祝福，而不是他们的拦阻。我们要很谨慎，一不小心，我们就拦阻了圣灵的工作。

Judgment of the Jewish Religious Leaders – Matthew 23:13
Be Careful About Religion
Now we come to the trial of the Jewish religious leaders. Woe to you! This phrase is pretty fierce. Woe means God does not approve of you. Not only does God disapprove of you, he also rebukes you. As a matter of fact, the judgment of the Lord Jesus on the Jewish religious leaders was a judgment on religious believers and religious leaders. At that time, it was Judaism, but it is not necessarily Judaism today. In Christianity, there are many Christians who you feel are very special. What is religion? Teaching according to religion. I have a sect and I teach according to what I sect.
Without the Lord to be the Reality Is Being Hypocritical
When the Lord Jesus came, he rebuked these men of faith. One characteristic of them was that they were hypocritical scribes and Pharisees. To be honest, if I were a scribe or a Pharisee, I would definitely protest to the Lord Jesus. When did I become a hypocrite? You could not say I was a hypocrite just because my clothes were well-made; and you could not say I was a hypocrite just because the fringes of my clothes were wider. Yet the Lord had said that any religious life without the Lord as a reality was all hypocrisy. When there is reality, there is no hypocrisy; when there is no truth, there is hypocrisy. Scribes were Bible readers and interpreters, and Pharisees were Jewish aristocrats. Therefore, the clothes of these nobles were also specially made with a special style, and they were well-dressed, so that people could see they were leaders among Jewish.
Anything We Do Be a Blessing to the Saints Not a Hindrance
Now the Lord came to judge. Who should be judged first? Let’s start with the so-called people who absolutely followed the Lord. The leaders among the Israelites were scribes according to their interpretation of the Bible, and Pharisees according to their living. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you have shut the door of the kingdom of heavens in the face of others. It’s no longer your problem, it’s the impact you have.
God sees us not only in terms of our overcoming and defeats, but also in terms of whether we help or hurt others among the brothers. We must be particularly careful, and we must tell the Lord: we are all weak, and we all have our own feelings and concepts. Please forgive us! May everything we do be a blessing to the brothers, and not their hindrance. If we are not careful, we may hinder the work of the Holy Spirit.
