Extra Grace Required - Hypocrites
from His24-7.com · host Rev. Joel D. McMahon III
Extra Grace Required – The Hypocrites Matthew 15: 1-9 "You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you: 'THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME." (Matthew 15:7-8) This past year could be officially labeled the Year of Hypocrisy Revealed. As I have read one news account after another, the words of Numbers 32:33 have come to mind: “You have sinned against the Lord, and be sure that your sin will find you out.” There have been casualties on both ends of the political spectrum from a congressman who ran and voted on a right-to-life ticket encouraging his mistress to get an abortion to a staunch women’s rights supporter being toppled from his place at the top of the entertainment industry because of multiple reports of sexual assault. In between these two extreme cases, myriads of others have had hypocrisy in one form or another revealed. We are going to run across hypocrites, everywhere let’s face it. We’ll find them in our government, in our schools, in our businesses, in our churches and in our families. Also, if we are really honest, we must admit that we ourselves can be hypocrites; so let’s see how we’re supposed to handle hypocrisy in others and in ourselves.
