BT REV. CHARLES E. DUNN
Jerusalem. And most impor
tant of all, he tried, as
did the rabbis, to present
to the people a clear picture of the
character and commands of God.
We are not surprised, then, to read
in the gospel narrative that at first
the scribes and Pharisees listened
to him sympathetically, and even
invited him into their homes.
But it is clear that there were
fundamental differences between
the teaching of Jesus and that of
nis fellow rabbis. Where they em
phasized strict conformity to vhe
.aw and ritual, he insisted on
warm-hearted devotion to God and
.nan. Many of tne traditions so
precious to the Pharisees Jesu^
considered a stumbling block. To
him the careful observance of elab
orate ceremonial laws was apt sc
olmd iolk to the larger obligation
of a pure heart and an unselfish
the Pharisees to be of primary
significance.
To correct the wrong emphases
of the scribes in favor of a larger
freer mode of thought and life was
a task to which our Lord gave him
self with complete devotion.
