In this section, Jesus turns His attention to the Pharisees and scribes and calls them what they truly are: hypocrites—people more concerned with appearances than obedience. They talked about God. They honored God with their lips…but their hearts were miles away. Jesus cuts through all of it and brings the issue back to what matters most: Not how we look, not what others approve of, but the honest condition of our hearts before God and His Word. In today’s passage, we explore what happens when faith becomes performance—and how Jesus calls us back to something real.
