Lesson 3377

 (Lesson 3377)(04-02-21) Luke 6:39-42

    “And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch? The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.”

    This lesson probably hits home more so for today’s “Christians” that any other. It seems that, in spite of the lesson Jesus taught in today’s quote, hypocrisy is one of the most prevalent sins. We all want others to do as we say, not as we do. 

    We should remember that we, the children of God, carry the burden of being a devoted example to the rest of the world. It is our Christian duty to, not only teach God’s divine word, but to practice it also.~
