Matthew 13:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore, you shall receive the greater damnation.
Matthew 13:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. 17 You fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?…. In addition to these unfavorable descriptions, there were also murderers to be found in His house.
That’s the reason why when Jesus preached a sermon they didn’t like, they took Him to the edge of a cliff after Divine hour, to throw Him over, yet it was His house…. Luke 4: 28 And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29 And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30 But he passing through the midst of them went his way.
Not only did His house have some murderers, it also had a lot of thieves. This is the reason why when the complaint is made about God’s remnant church that it has too many hypocrites, you should think twice, for if a church doesn’t have any hypocrites it most likely is not “My house.” John 8: 39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
John 8:40 But now you seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
