“Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.”
Luke 11:40-41 KJV
Jesus rebuked the Pharisees, those who are stuck in the performance oriented lifestyle that denies the grace of our Lord Jesus. Jesus calls them foolish and asks don’t they understand that He Who designed the outer, physical person, is also the Architect and Creator of the inner person. Jesus tells them the secret of living from inner compassion and tenderness towards others. Then we’ll be surprised to see how our entire person is cleansed. The inner life cleanses the outer! Let’s live inspired by tenderness and inner compassion; as opposed to violent greed and a hidden agenda of cunning manipulation. The Holy Spirit has been given to us to live according to God’s standards. Thank You Holy Spirit!
