When Jesus walked the earth, his focus was ultimately on showing people that the problem in the world is not the lack of morals, but the abundance of hypocrisy. When he pointed the finger to make the problem of hypocrisy clear, his finger wasn’t aimed at the outsiders, it was aimed squarely at the religious. The Pharisees could see their moral standard and were proud of it, yet they were blind to their hypocritical worldview and lifestyle. Jesus himself went head to head with the Pharisees and exposed their judgmental hypocrisy, in effect publicly judging them, to show them how it felt. He pushed them as far as he could to expose their hypocrisy to their own hearts and minds. Why did Jesus do that? I believe he did it to reveal to them and to us that the greatest threat any follower of God faces is not the temptation to sin morally; rather, it is the temptation of using Gods name to become judgemental towards others. When a follower of God falls into this temptation, they also fall into a lifestyle of continual hypocrisy. Despite what the religious want the world to believe, Jesus didnt come to make the ungodly godly. On the contrary, he came to make the religious un-religious. He came to transform the religious-minded person from a hypocrite into a light of love in the world. Its only after one dies to their religious mindset and worldview, with all the judgments, pointing fingers and lists of laws and regulations that frame it, that one can truly become alive to the radical message of love and grace Jesus proclaimed. Its only then one can actually come to understand the true heart of God. This new way, where we leave behind religious affiliations to enter into a new divine reality, is not bound to a message that begins and ends in words and written codes; rather, it is a spiritual reality that transcends words; a message that comes alive not in the form of letters, but through the indwelling of Gods Spirit within us. It moves us beyond the theory of love religion offers, into a living and active love that permeates every part of our life.
