Don't be Hypocrites
Matthew 23:1-39
In this chapter, Jesus addresses the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees. He points out how they would preach one thing and then do the opposite, or engage in activities solely for self-indulgence. They sought admiration from the public, wanting to sit in high positions at banquets and occupy the chief seats in the synagogues. They pretended to be devout by making lengthy prayers at widow's houses.
As believers, we should practice what we preach. Our goal should be to bring our culture to Christ and not the other way around. We are representatives of Christ, his church, and his people. Others observe our actions to see if they align with our teachings. Let's not be influenced by cultural trends but be guided by God's word, which is filled with grace, mercy, faithfulness, love, and loyalty only to Him.
