You hypocrite’s Teaching / Leading
Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye. “For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit, for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.(Luke 6:41-45)
“A disciple of Jesus must learn about and follow him before professing their self to be somebody’s teacher and leader. This is because the hypocrisy of teaching somebody without learning the word, or leading others without following Jesus, brings danger to the self and others. Rather than trying to do a lot of work, strive more to live as a disciple who resemble Jesus and a child who resembles the Father.”
“Only those who are obedient to the teachings of Jesus will have firm faith, and not until then can one become a teacher who leads another person to God.”
