Hypocrisy condemned
Both Jew and Gentile may have had acute corporeal
senses, but mortals need spiritual sense. Jesus knew the
generation to be wicked and adulterous, seek-
ing the material more than the spiritual. His
thrusts at materialism were sharp, but needed. He never
spared hypocrisy the sternest condemnation.. He said:
"These ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other
undone." The great Teacher knew both cause and
effect, knew that truth communicates itself but never
imparts error.
