Disciples of Us

Jesus continues his dressing down of the Pharisees and hypocrites. This week, he remarks that they go to such lengths to win converts, but those they convert are even worse off than they are. Why is this the case? The Pharisees' strategy continues to be an issue with missionaries today: We want people to be converted into Christians who are like us, not personally transformed by God. Matt also eulogizes the late Rev. Billy Graham, who passed away earlier this week.
