Pastor Ernie Sanders compares the Pharisees to our modern-day religious and political leaders. Birds of a feather flock together.
Pastor Sanders connects the dots between The Bible and our modern-day issues and reminds us we must never concede to evil and always keep fighting the fight.
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because ye build the tombs of the prophets and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous, and say, ‘If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’ Therefore ye are witnesses against yourselves, that ye are the children of them that killed the prophets. Fill ye up, then, the measure of your fathers.
“Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers! How can ye escape the damnation of hell? Therefore, behold, I send unto you prophets and wise men and scribes, and some of them ye shall kill and crucify, and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues and persecute them from city to city, that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zechariah, son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate."
