We continue our “Tough Questions” series with a message entitled; “If Christianity is True, Why is the Church SO Full of Hypocrites?”
Has this question ever crossed your mind? Before I knew Christ it crossed my mind many times. I don’t have an answer for that Tough Question except to say that one day we’re all gonna stand before God & give an account of all the things we did or didn’t do, the stuff we said or didn’t say. But here are 3 interesting things about this that I do know…
The Church should be full of hypocrites; Jesus founded His church to bring Real people into a relationship with His father & to help them to be more like God. So, if a church is doing what God wants it to do, it will be attracting people who look & act like they need a Savior. Does this excuse arrogant, immature, hypocritical behavior? No, but maybe it explains it a little.
Not all Christians are hypocrites; Let’s get this straight, we shouldn’t pass judgment on a person or group of people based on a negative experience cuz many Christians aren’t perfect but are authentic.
Jesus was not a hypocrite; The ultimate issue about Christianity is always gonna center around the person of Jesus & if Jesus was a hypocrite then following Him is senseless. Throughout the Gospels we see many tried to undermine Jesus but couldn’t find hypocrisy in Him.
