THE ONLY PERFECT PERSON

—–in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.–Hebrews 4:15   Do you ever feel,”I’ve had it up to here with all the hypocrites in the church!”? Chances are you have. It’s easy to see the faults and failures of other people. Sadly, we don’t often see our own. When someone says,”There are too many hypocrites in the church.” they are right–one is too many, but that shouldn’t stop us from doing our duty.   If you’ve been disappointed and discouraged by the hypocrisy of others, it would do you good to get your focus back on Christ–He never fails. He is perfect.   John Phillips wrote: “He never uttered a hasty, unkind, untrue, or frivolous word. He never entertained an impure thought. His talents never debased for selfish ends. His influence, never bad. His judgment, never wrong. He never had to apologize for anything that He did or retract a single word He said. He was never too late or too soon, never upset, never insipid, never shallow or afraid. . . He had absolute victory from the moment He drew his first breath in that Bethlehem barn until the moment He closed His eyes in death on the cross of Calvary.”   Jesus is the Way unchangeable, the Truth infallible, and the Life everlasting.
