“What comes to mind when we think of the word hypocrisy? I go to the
dentist once or twice a year, and there is one part of that visit that I

and he’s like ‘I don’t think you’re doing your best. I think you can do
better’…and so we have this exchange every time. No imagine, after all
these visits, if I found out that my dentist never flosses. I’d be like
‘You, hypocrite!’. Right? This is what we think about hypocrisy. Someone
who is teaching but then isn’t doing it…Believe it or not that’s not what
Jesus is talking about. He is using this word a little bit different this
