"The scribes and the Pharisees occupy the chair of Moses. You must therefore observe and obey what they teach you; but do not be guided by what they do, since they do not practice what they teach."(Matthew 23: 2-3)
Reading leads to forgetfulness. Practice leads to remembrance. The disciples were to imitate Jesus and teach their new converts to practice the faith. Practice grows faith and leads to experiential knowledge.
"But whoever obeys and teaches these commandments will be called greatest in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5: 19).
Lord, help us to believe Your word; to teach what we believe and to practice what we teach.
