When it came to getting down to the business at hand, Jesus didn’t mess around with a few groups. Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, Etc. But I want to ask a couple a couple of questions:
If Jesus had to deal with the “hedge-makers” of the law in his day, do you think we don’t have any today who do the same thing?
If there are “hedge-makers” today, are they always “they” or could it be you or I? ~PW

“Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, “We brought no bread.” But Jesus, aware of this, said, “O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” (Matthew 16:6–12, ESV)

This is a wonderful and powerful contrast to Moses coming down the mountain and Israel’s response. In the #NewCovenant, beyond and without the veil, we all can behold the wonder that is the Lord
