Being a Hypocrite Lesson for January 1, 1954 - XTOBODY over began his list of New Year’s Resolutions with this: ‘1 resolve this year to be a hypocrite.*’ Nobody wants to be a hypocrite, no one loves ouch a person. As If they were not already detested MESSA|| enough. Jesus shot ■ at them his most wR piercing sar- ■ easins. The pathetic thing is that . 1 •ven the best peopie can slip into hyjwcnsy without ■ knowing it. Since ■' V 77 Jesus ’Told off” _ the hypocrites of Dr> Ksrrman Galilee very plainly, we can mo Just what it Is that makes hypocrites what they are, and be warned. SJm*/ Stuff Jesus condemned the Pharisees for being concerned with the looks of things most of all. As be put it, they cleaned up the outside of the cup and the platter but the inside was left dirty. They themselves, be said, were like graves over which men walked without knowing they were there. Outside, they were a grassy park. Down under, inside, they were nothing but decay. The other day a bulldozer turned up four little coffins under what la now an airport. Nobody had guessed those bodies were under the grasa The first thing any one asked, after, "Who were these?” was "Where shall we put them now?** Il turned that the four little bodies, buried a century ego, belonged to one family; and one living relative could be found—but she did not even want to look. Let them be put under grass somewhere else, hide them es soon as possible. Well there are characters like thaL Cover ell stuff with something pretty,—whatever looks right is right . . . Keep thinking that' way, live that way, and you will be a hypocrite too Trifling Staff Anomer count against the Pharisees was that they spent so much time and energy on little things that they missed the greater things that a truly good life will have. You could see Pharisees out in their back yards counting their mint-leaves. Every tenth leaf belonged to the Lord, they said; every tenth bean, every tenth lettuce-leaf, and to on. But leaf-counting took up too much < their time. Justice? The love of God? They had no time for it They were too busy with mintleaves. Now. it is good to be conscientious about tithes; Jesus had nothing to say against that in itself. But it is rather interesting that the only times when Jesus mentioned tithing, he condemned the people who did it.—Not for doing it, but tor supposing that that was the main thing ia religion. When Jesus picked out something on which all the “law and the prophets” hang, a kind of nail holding up the rest of the Bible, he picked something big: Love to God and love to one's neighbor. 014 Stuff Another way to be a hypocrite is to be so much interested ia the past that you do not apply religion to the present. In Jesus’ vivid language, the hypocrites built the prophets’ tombs, but they were children of those who had murdered the prophets, and they were the people who Would murder Jesus himself. They honored the prophets of the past; but prophets of the living present they could not see and did not honor. It is an ancient and stQl strong temptation. There are persons tai America who are very proud of ancestors who crossed ths ocean to worship God freely; but who themselves wffl not cross a wet street to go to church. There are persons proud of their revolutioaary ancestors, who attack with every weapon of slander any one >bo has any proposals for change today. Revolution tn the IBtb century—fine! Revolution in the twentieth century—horrible! Thera are people who wish to preserve every line of some historic creed and shout down every one who has the least suggestion of change; they forget that the creed-makers they honor were themselves radicals, Innovators, dangerour men tn the eyes of their time. ». church that becomes a preserver of antiquities. a Mistor.cal aociejy, and nothing more, with nothing to say to now. is a church the Pharisees would have loved but not Jesus Time is our life; passage of time is our death. Enter the New Year-with a kind thought for everyone.
