This is what Jesus was trying to show the people of his day
The religious leaders,like today,were making the truth of God into ceremonies and legalism.
This is how they control the people ,just like today.
Follow your leaders and denominational beliefs
The leaders will tell their followers,if you dont,you will go to hell,we are Gods people.
It puts the people to sleep
The jews went to sleep,because they were taught just because of their bloodline(being a jew)their salvation was assured.Very similar to what Mr Gs leaders have rammed down his throat,if your not of a Jw,you cant be of Gods people.This stuff is taught all the way through religion,its the opiate of the masses.
