Outside

Daily Vitamin

Outside — “Great sorrow awaits you religious scholars and Pharisees—frauds and imposters! You are like one who will only wipe clean the outside of a cup or bowl, leaving the inside filthy. You are foolish to ignore the greed and self-indulgence that live like germs within you. You are blind to your evil. Shouldn’t the one who cleans the outside also be concerned with cleaning the inside? You need to have more than clean dishes; you need clean hearts!” (Matthew 23:25-26, The Passion Translation)

Wow! What a strong description of our religious institutions of today. They are more concerned what they look like on the outside, while the inside has all kinds of evil going on. It doesn’t stop there. Even in our own lives, we are too concerned about what others think of us. So many times we want to impress people we don’t even like!

It’s not bad to be concerned with external things, but lets not neglect the inside. That is more important than keeping the appearance that all things are good!

Be a Blessing, Sir Gregory
