Thought for Today: Shabbat November 15

The most common charge levelled at believers for their faith is that believers are “just a bunch of hypocrites”. Sadly, those who make such a charge often have someone in mind who claimed to be a believer, but do not act like it. What they may not know however, is that some of Yeshua’s strongest Words were reserved for hypocrites – for people who claim to believe in YHVH and follow His Laws, but in reality, lived only for themselves. He compared them to “white-washed tombs”, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead-men’s bones and everything unclean.” {Matthew 23:27}
