The Antidote for Hypocrisy

Remember the last time we were together in Luke; we looked at the subject of Jesus

and Hypocrisy.

WE said that - The Greek word Jesus used is hupo - crates - The word means an actor.

The Greek actors would wear masks that portrayed whatever emotion the part required.

• SAD - So if the Actor was playing a sad role, he would wear a mask with a frown and

tear drops rolling down the cheeks.

• ANGRY - If the Actor was playing the part of an angry character, the mask would be

an angry mask.

A Hypocrite does the same thing—he or she portrays something externally that is

incongruent with internal reality.
