Are you blind and leading others? Or, do you see well spiritually?

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
    Yesterday when Jesus spoke to the Pharisees and teachers he pointed out that their lips honored him, but their heart did not.  I trust you gathered the jest of this meaning what flows out of your lips is worthless if it does not come from the heart.
    Well, the disciples, being human and living in the world, did not fully understand what Jesus was saying. In verse 10 and 11 of Matthew 15 Jesus went on to say, "Listen, and try to understand. It's not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come our of your mouth."
   After saying this the disciples came to Jesus with concerns and asked, "Do you realize you offended the Pharisees by what you just said?"
   Jesus' reply is what we need to remember daily, "Every plant not planted by my heavenly Father will be uprooted, so ignore them.  They are blind guides leading the blind, and if one blind person guides another, they will both fall into a ditch."
   Wow!   What Jesus was saying is they were not made unclean by eating nonkosher food.  It is what you say and think that make you unclean!  This did, in fact, offend the Pharisee as they were concerned with what people ate and drank.
    Jesus also told the disciples that the Pharisees were blind to the truth, God's truth.  In as much as so, that anyone who listened to their teaching would risk spiritual blindness as well.
    Remember, when you go to church, check your pastor, a visiting pastor, pastors on t.v. and see if they are sharing God's truth or their own truth.  There are many anti-christ's in the world.  Not just the atheists, agnostics, and compete unbelievers; there are anti-christ's who fill the pulpit and teach/preach a good (worldly) message yet not sharing the Good News of Christ and Salvation.
   I ask you, my friend, to maintain good spiritual eyesight and to teach and follow the principles of Scripture.  What difference does it make?  Eternal life difference!  Everyone believes in something; where is your belief?  Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
