Woes and warnings
“Where in your life are you more concerned with looking righteous than actually being righteous?”
Jesus sits at a dinner table in Luke 11 and does something deeply uncomfortable—He exposes the gap between appearance and reality. The cups are clean on the outside, but inside? Corruption. Religious language is polished, but hearts are far from God. And then in Luke 12, He turns to His disciples and says, “Beware… hypocrisy spreads.”
Because it does. Quietly. Respectably. Even spiritually.
