and all ye are brethren.

The Scribes and Pharisees, had a hollow religion, what they loved was
show, and honor. They loved to be called Rabbi or Master.
Though they followed rites and rituals, yet they lived Godless lives.

A church described by Jesus...

in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name
done many wonderful works?

ye that work iniquity.

If the scribes and Pharisees were true guides and teachers, The Lord,
would not have scorned them.
Matthew
23:1-7 KJV
1
Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to His disciples,
2
Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3
All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do;
but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.
4
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on
men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of
their fingers.
5
But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad
their phylacteries (prayer boxes
NLT), and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6
And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the
synagogues,
7
And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
Man longs for ecclesiastical distinctions of highest honor, and yet
our Lord reminds us
Matthew
23:11 KJV
But
he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

O Master, Let Me Walk With
Thee
O Master, let me walk with Thee,
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toil, the fret of care.
Help me the slow of heart to move
By some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the wayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.
Teach me Thy patience; still with Thee
In closer, dearer, company,
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong.
In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future’s broad’ning way,
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, O Master, let me live.
