A young man once said to me: "I would have become a Christian long ago, but there are too many hypocrites about.”
What a poor excuse! You cannot counterfeit a $30.00 bill, because there are no genuine ones. You can counterfeit a $5.00, or $10.00, or $50.00, or $100.00 note. There must be genuine ones, or there could be no counterfeits.
You ask me, am I a loyal citizen of this country. I reply, "I used to be, but I have found hypocrites here, some definitely using all their influence to incite lawlessness and rebellion.”
You would say: "How foolish! If there are hypocrites here—and there are—doesn't your country need your loyalty more than ever?”
How much more does this apply when we consider Him who is KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!
Surely He is worthy of all love, all devotion, all loyalty. If there are hypocrites among those who profess to be Christians—and there are—does not the Lord Jesus Christ deserve your loyalty more than ever?
Come to Christ, my friends. Seek His help to enable you to show forth in your home, in your business, and your life "what great things He has done for you.”
