Matthew 23:27,28 Woe
unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited
sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead
men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous
unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. Jesus said in our
verses from yesterday, that the inside is more important than the outside. Today
Jesus used an example of a dead body and the tomb where it is laid out. The
graveyard is neat and clean with grass well mowed, but down inside of that tomb
is a stinking dead body. The body is decayed and . . . well you get the
picture. I won’t be gross. No one likes to think about the inside of a tomb.
And Jesus said that that was how it was with the Pharisees. They looked good
enough on the outside, but they were all dead and decaying on the inside. They
were the opposite of our cup from yesterday. They were nasty on the inside. So,
what about your heart? Are you right with God on the inside? Or are you just a
fake on the outside? Hummmm?
