What religious thing or things are we currently doing that Jesus would frankly want us to stop? Are the religious activities in our life causing us to become more like Jesus? Are we growing in our knowledge of God? Are these activities increasing our desire to obey Jesus? What is the result of our "spiritual" endeavors?
The religious hypocrites of Jesus' day were experts in religious activity! In fact, they made these activities their job. Not only did those activities enable them to not have to think about God, they actually caused them to sit in judgement on God Himself! Eventually they would have Him crucified. That is messed up.
Are our external spiritual activities causing real change? If not, we are no different than these hypocrites. Just a newer version of the same old song. If the diet we are on is not helping us to lose weight, but actually makes us fatter, I suggest we change our diet.
