Do you remember when that dirt bag scar came back from the canyon stampede and Mufasa's

dead?

He gets up there, pride rock, and he's like, it is the saddest thing for me to have to

report.

The Mufasa is dead.

And it is with the heaviest of hearts, with his memory, still fresh in our minds, that

I will ascend to the throne and it is like, wait, what?

And clearly, what the jerk is doing is he's pretending to memorialize the fallen hero

and to have great respect for who he was and what he stood for.

And he's so sad now to have to take up that mantle for himself so that he can lead

in a way that is completely contradictory to how Mufasa had led in the past.

Likewise, in Matthew chapter 23, that is the accusation Jesus is throwing at the Pharisees

and the teachers of the law.

He's saying, you guys act like you're so sad about all of the great leaders of the

past who died and were even to use the more Christian term, I guess, martyred.

And you got these real fancy tombs that you made for him and you honor those tombs.

But then Jesus pivots to say, but if you look at your actual behavior here, it's evident

that that is all a sham, that is all a front.

You don't respect what those people stood for or understand why they died or maybe

worse.

You do understand the whole thing and all you're doing is trying to profit on their legacy

while you do the exact opposite of what those men of God did.
