Let's Get Real - Scripture Day 348

Hypocrisy will be revealed...
"In the meantime, when so many thousands of the people had gathered together that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples first, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops."
Luke 12:1-3 ESV
RANDY: One of the biggest complaints about people of faith has always been hypocrisy, saying one thing publicly and doing something different in private.
Jesus, gave a very stern warning to those who claim to represent God, that hypocrisy is not acceptable and God will reveal it, even if man overlooks it temporarily.
This warning should be a gut check moment to all believers, not to try and justify hidden sins. In the end, they come to light.
I can think of numerous cases in the media these days, Bill Cosby, many priests in the Catholic Church revealed to be child molesters, famous pastors of large churches that have fallen into adultry or other sins, etc.
God has warned us, so we are without excuse.
