16 Luke - Behind Appearances

Bt Richard

The Pharisees, blinded by their money could not accept Jesus’ warnings about serving God rather than money. So Jesus goes on to warn them, warn us, that we are, “Masters at making [ourselves] look good in front of others, but God [knows] what’s behind the appearance. What society sees and calls monumental God sees through and calls monstrous.” (Parts Luke 16: 14-18, the Message).

What a warning, if ever there was one, to work on the part that God sees and not the part that people see.
