XRay Vision

²³ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former. ²⁴ You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.
   ²⁵ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. ²⁶ Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.
   ²⁷ “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. ²⁸ In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

People often cover their lives with veneers. Fascades that look pretty, happy, righteous, like the Pharisees of Jesus' day. Appearing righteous, and partaking of all the outward religiousity, talking "Christian-ese", but inside lies darkness, soul pollution, and corrupted hearts, with walls put up, fortified by sin. But God has xray vision! Seeing through the games, attitudes, and darkness, He zeroes in on the heart ... it is always our hearts he is examining.
"For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His. 2 Chronicles 16:9
God cannot be fooled. He is the Uncreated, Shoreless Ocean, Alpha & Omega, All Consuming Fire.  He sees it all, and He desires purity and righteousness, which only Jesus' blood can give. Fascades and nice veneers are pointless, so let's drop them, surrender, and let the Master renovate your interior.
