When did you last look into a mirror? We check our appearance, fix what’s wrong, ensure we’re presentable. But what about spiritual mirrors? The fox caught in a trap lost his tail escaping. Ashamed, knowing others would mock him, he considered suicide. Instead, he called a meeting, advising all foxes to remove their tails: “They’re ugly, heavy, tiresome. We must get rid of them.” One clever fox responded: “Good sir! You wouldn’t be so keen to give that advice if you weren’t tailless yourself. Isn’t it?” Hypocrisy seldom works. Definition: “The practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one’s own behaviour does not conform; pretence.” Billy Sunday said: “Hypocrites in the Church? Yes, and in the lodge and at the home. Don’t hunt through the Church for a hypocrite. Go home and look in the mirror. Hypocrites? Yes. See that you make the number one less.” Thomas Fuller adds: “We ought to see far enough into a hypocrite to see even his sincerity.” The mirror doesn’t lie. It shows what is, not what we wish. The question isn’t whether there are hypocrites in church—there are. The question is whether you’re looking in the mirror or just pointing at others.
