Our life needs to reflect the truth of the Cross.
The Church, the Body of Christ, shines through the darkness when we walk the walk and talk the talk in our daily life showing God’s loving compassion to all people. We cannot do this in our own power… we need the power of the Holy Spirit to live a life of humility, forgiveness and mercy. It is sufficient to say God hates hypocrisy and that Satan is the father of it. Anything but love creates disharmony and will be pruned from our life and thrown into the fire to be burned.
Practicing hypocrisy is senseless because eventually all deeds—both good and evil—will be exposed.
12 In the meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
6 Then Jesus said to them,“Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.”
Matthew 16:6
15 Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
Mark 8:15
12 Then they understood that He did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Matthew 16:12
39 Then the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but your inward part is full of greed and wickedness.
Luke 11:39
