Therefore all the things they tell you,do and observe,but do not do according to their deeds,for they say but do not perform.They bind up heavy loads and put them upon the shoulders of men,but they themselves are not willing to budge them with their finger.
All the works they do they do to be viewed by men... They like the most prominent place at evening meals and the front seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces and to be called Rabbi by men
Mathew 23:3-7
Rudd is very much like those hypocritical Pharisees who thought only of themselves and loved the adulation.Jesus said whoever humbles himself will be exalted.We need more humility and soundness of mind in this country!
