Matthew 23 - Honest Struggles

Matthew 23 - Honest Struggles

Some of Jesus’ harshest words were unleashed on religious leaders. What seems to set Him off was their dishonesty. He clearly saw the disconnect between their walk and their talk – most people around them did too. Some acted high and mighty but were fake and phony. They were covering their sin instead of confessing it. They were playing holy instead of pleading for mercy from the Holy One. Their happy church face looked great in meetings; but was put on their shelf at home between gatherings. Jesus wants people to be honest. Do we forget that He sees and knows everything?
