CLEAN INSIDES
Using the religious leader’s reputation for the appearance of
cleanliness, Jesus explains why trouble awaits them, saying
“HYPOCRITES! FOR YOU ARE SO CAREFUL TO CLEAN
THE OUTSIDE OF THE CUP AND THE DISH, BUT INSIDE
YOU ARE FILTHY—FULL OF GREED AND SELF-
INDULGENCE” [Mt 23:25 NL]{Lk 11:39}. Then Jesus gives
advice that can apply to all of us, by encouraging them to clean up
the insides first and then the outside will become clean. Are your
insides clean?
