Our Modern Day Pharisees and Sadducees

A Pharisee was fair you see, Because with the resurrection they understood. But the Sadducees were called “sad-u-see”, Because they did not believe that the teaching of The resurrection was any good. Both groups were very pompous you see, And thought they were better than everyone else on the scene. And even when Jesus Himself showed up at the grounds, It made them more vindictive and more mean. Several times they tried to trap Jesus, As in the case with the adulteress lady. But Jesus once again had to put them in check, For His reaction was what they were watching; Of which He made them look very shady. Another time they were upset, Because they healed on the Sabbath, someone. Instead of being happy for the person that was healed, They were upset amongst each other, everyone. Today we have people like those just the same, “Uppity” and you can’t say anything to them. Thinking their too good to be with CERTAIN people, Forgetting they are to love all people at all times; But making some individuals feel very dim. “Clubbing” or “Club-Hopping” on Saturday night, Going to hear the Word every Sunday. But smoking and speaking sadistic words, As if it were something like a Monday. Jesus told the Laodicean church, That He would literally out of His own mouth spit them. Because they were neither cold not hot, They are what we call being “LUKEWARM” There is a difference between, Living in and committing a sin. The first is a lifestyle one chooses to live, While the other is a mistake one makes but not purposely therein. So will you be a modern day Pharisee or Sadducee, Or will you be a worshipper with sincerity? Will you have a sarcastic or sadistic spirit, Or be with your father in hell for eternity.
