SPECIAL TREATMENT OF DIGNITARIES BRINGS WOES

My Dear Precious Child,
    Luke, the disciple of Jesus whose occupation was a doctor, was especially attentive to the teachings of Jesus Christ when He taught about the woes from the calamities that were going to come into the lives of the politicians and lawyers because of how they treat people.  Luke had learned to humble himself because of his becoming a servant of people instead his acting like a professional elitist.  He was telling the Jewish politicians that one of the reasons for the woes that were coming upon them, as governmental officials, was because of their demanding and expecting preferential treatment in the synagogues and their insistence on receiving elitist respect in public, indicating that they felt they were above other people in importance. (Luke 11:43)  
    Jesus had said in His teachings that anyone who desired to be great in My kingdom of heaven must first have the attitude of being a servant instead of having an elitist attitude, as reported by the disciple Mark.  (Mark 9:35; Mark 10:44)  Yet the elitist politicians, lawmakers, lawyers and religious leaders dressed in elaborate robes and displayed little boxes called phylacteries which contained scriptures in full display around their necks so as to call attention to themselves and separate themselves from the common worshipers; or, as Jesus described, so as to be seen by people, their even having enlarged the trim on their robes to indicate their being in the upper class of society.  (Matthew 23:3-8)  
   Their attitudes and actions of making laws that placed additional burdens upon the backs of already burdened people instead of their relieving the burdens of people was what qualified the Jewish leaders for receiving the woes of having experienced calamities from hell in their own lives.  Those offensive attitudes and actions are what Luke was also referring when He said that the Pharisees, scribes and religious leaders were going to inherit woes from hell for their elevating themselves in importance above people who depended upon their help in making laws which benefited the poor.  Those elitist attitudes and actions are what Jesus Christ warned his followers to refrain from doing because the politicians, lawyers and religious leaders were hypocrites, according to the assessments by Jesus. (Matthew 23:3)
    It is also the attitudes and actions of the common people toward the governmental officials that adds to the corruption of politicians, lawmakers,  lawyers and religious leaders by the people attributing to them elitist roles in society instead of their treating them as equal servants of the people, which they are.  So it is the two things, the combination of the special treatment that politicians require from common people, plus the willingness of the common people to give undue privileged honor to the politicians, and those things corrupt the very people who are called to be servants of the people.  Those actions corrupt the officials and cause them to become power seekers.  
    If the politicians, lawmakers and lawyers maintain a servant's attitude, then they escape the woes that come upon the officials who oppress the poor, the widows and the orphans.  If the people continue to treat officials special, by elevating them to a position of great honor, then they have created idols and they will also inherit the same woes.  Do not allow any human person to be elevated to a place of being an idol in your eyes because of the woes that follow.  
    Treat all people as equals to you, neither below nor above you, and you will regard them as servants who are called, along with you, as My emissaries to help Me to meet the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of people by pointing them to Me as their Supplier of all things.  Do not put anyone in My place of being your Father, for I am you Guide and your Teacher. Jesus Christ said that all other people are your brethren, your brothers and sisters in Christ who are equal to you as My children. (Matthew 23:8-12)
    The tradition of the Jewish worshipers is difficult to overcome because of their habit of making idols so easily.  Place no person, man or woman, in a place of importance over other people as a ruler over others.  Only treat them as equals in your eyes, along with you, per the teaching of Jesus Christ, of being equals together in Christ Jesus.  When you can do that, you will avoid the woes spoken about by your Brother Jesus Christ.
