The main topic of the Gospel today is about Hypocrisy.
Hypocrisy is defined as a pretense of having a virtuous character, moral or religious beliefs or principles, etc., that one does not really possess.
There are so many around us today. Pretending to be good but deep inside or when they are not in front of you the do bad things. Yes it is easy to point fingers on who they are. But I myself am guilty of being a Hypocrite sometimes. :(
But I don't pretend to be good. I do good things, but I am just human to make mistakes sometimes.
Are there any Hypocrites around you?

There is a difference between being a sinner and being a hypocrite. A hypocrite pretends to be righteous in areas where he knows he is not righteous. The sinner knows he's not righteous and doesn't pretend to be. If he's a Christian and knows he has sinned, he repents and tries, with God's help, to not repeat that sin. He may even ask his church to keep him accountable.
