Nobody wants to be a hypocrite. To be called a hypocrite is universally received as an insult. The term was originally used for play actors, people pretending to be something they were not. Like a bowl of plastic fruit decorating the table, though it might look good, appearances can be deceiving. Sadly, you’ve probably met some people like that. As we continue reading in our salvation story, Jesus concludes his Sermon on the Mount by telling his listeners about the makeup of those who are genuine disciples. It’s not enough to simply say you believe in Jesus. Genuine disciples have come to know Jesus and personally experienced an inner transformation that then expresses itself in obedience to his commands. This is how we make genuine disciples, real fruit that will be revealed on the day of judgement.
