Blind Hypocrisy Exposed: Luke 6:41-42
“41) Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 42) Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.” Luke 6:41-42
Hypocrisy is blinding. It condemns others for minor things while ignoring major issues in self. It’s like trying to remove a speck of dust from the eye of another while you have logs of dust in your own eye.
Eye surgery is very delicate work. An ophthalmologist must have the clearest vision or he /she will do irreversible damage to many others. Focus on clearing up your own vision before offering surgery for others.
The best counselors are those who have gained sincere victory in their own lives. A humble personal testimony is better than condemnation from Pharisee.
Learning from your own mistakes and failure is the pathway to wisdom. Encouragement is more powerful than criticism. A loving pat on the back with love and truth is more helpful than the many slaps of criticism to the face from a hypocrite. The first builds up while the second tears down.
