Hypocrisy

Matthew 23:1-36

Jesus comes down hard on those who talk the talk but don't walk the walk. The religious leaders of His day did everything for show and none of their actions did anything to bring others to Christ. We would be wise to learn from those so-called leaders and submit to the will of God and exalt His Son in everything we do and say. We should not be a barrier to others in their experiencing the love of God.

1. Do your actions go hand in hand with your words?

2. If not, how will you change that? 

Challenge: Check your motives. Any attempt to glorify anyone or anything but Jesus will fail. God is in control and He will deal severely with those who act hypocritically.
