SIXTH WOE

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For you are like whitewashed tombs which
indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside
are full of dead men’s bones and all unclean-
ness. Even so you also outwardly appear
righteous to men, but inside you are full of
hypocrisy and lawlessness”
(Matthew 23: 27,28).

There is an excessive desire in some for
popularity. The Lord soundly condemns this.
Outwardly they appear beautiful–attractive
to men, but inwardly they are full of corruption–
corrupt thoughts, jealousy, envy, hostility, and
corrupt motives. We all know the one who
“wants to be a big fish in a little pond.”
