Matthew 23:27-28 (New Living Translation)

 ²⁷ “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees.Hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs—beautiful on the outside but filled on the inside with dead people’s bones and all sorts of impurity. ²⁸ Outwardly you look like righteous people, but inwardly your hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness.

WOW Whitewashed Tombs filled with dead peoples bones. Just wonder what it would be like to be called that by Jesus. Wait he is calling us that, but there is a difference in calling the teachers of religious law and Christ followers that. Christ followers are forgiven of being filled with dead peoples bones because they have been saved through faith. That said non-Christ followers are in the same boat as the teachers of religious law are because they are not saved but can be by accepting the gift of Salvation through faith. Below is the reason that I am talking about being saved through faith.

Hebrews 11:6 (New Living Translation)

⁶ And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.

The reason Jesus called them whitewashed tombs is because they tricked people by looking like they believed and had faith on the outside, but on the inside they closed their minds and hearts from believing that Jesus is God's Son and it still happens today. There is still time though for change to happen in people lives, but realize that the time to change is limited because Christ could come back any day and at any time. Morning, noon or night.

God Bless!!
