The Religious Graveyard: Luke 11:44
“44) Woe to you! For you are like concealed tombs, and the people who walk over them are unaware of it.”” Luke 11:44
Such is the plight of all false teachers and leaders of self righteous religions. They look and sound good, but they are graves. They produce death and not life. They lead people astray.
This was the story of the Pharisees. Behind their religious garb and pious legalism was death. But it looked good outwardly. How could something so impressive be so misleading? Their followers had no idea they were walking into a spiritual graveyard.
They were part of the fulfillment of John 10:10; “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” Following them leads to death. Following Jesus leads to life.
