We often think of
Jesus as meek and mild, but he criticized the religious leaders of his time
for their strict adherence to the moral code while ignoring love, mercy, and
justice. He warned his disciples and the crowds that followed him to
“beware of the yeast of the Pharisees,” by which he meant, “beware of their
hypocrisy.” While his disciples weren’t religious leaders (yet!), he took
the time to warn them against the insidious tendency for hypocrisy to sneak
into their lives. Why was he so ardently against hypocrisy? What harm does it do?
And how do we avoid it ourselves? We tackle these questions and more in this lesson.
