Tao of Yeshua: Chapter 53

53
With only the tiniest grain of knowledge of the great Way I can follow it.
My only fear is straying from it.
The great Way is straight and smooth.
But people prefer twisted paths.
When leaders trust in superstition
then even when the fields are full of weeds and the granaries are empty
the leaders wear ornaments and fancy clothes,
gird themselves with sharp swords,
eat their fill of food,
and seek excess wealth.
I call this robbing and bragging.
What do they know about the Way?

Even those who barely know Yeshua can follow him.
His way is clear to his disciples.
Those who do not follow him also make themselves clear.
