“But woe (judgment is coming) to you Pharisees, because you [self-righteously] tithe mint and rue and every [little] garden herb [tending to all the minutiae], and yet disregard and neglect justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done, without neglecting the others. [Lev 27:30; Mic 6:8] Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the best seats in the synagogues and to be respectfully greeted in the market places. Woe to you! For you are like graves which are unmarked, and people walk over them without being aware of it [and are ceremonially unclean].” One of the lawyers [an expert in the Mosaic Law] answered Him, “Teacher, by saying this, You insult us too!” But He said, “Woe to you lawyers as well, because you weigh men down with burdens [man-made rules, unreasonable requirements] which are hard to bear, and you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers [to lighten the load].

They’re right. We need to look to the Bible. Let’s spend 5 Days on Love in a study by Logos Bible Software.
God wants to set you free from pornography addiction. When I was addicted to pornography, and at the lowest point in my life, Jesus showed me the true power of what He did on the cross. His grace and love set me free. Be encouraged by my story, and find freedom from pornography today.
The justice displayed in the life of Jesus is one motivated by love. A justice that is restorative and redemptive. A justice that is displayed with a hand outstretched, eyes that see and a heart opened. A justice centred in the cross. A justice so full of love, compassion, mercy and service it is extravagant!
