Evening: Psalm 35; Mathew 12:22-32
A
divided self or a divided heart says or believes one thing yet does
another. Hypocrisy literally means ‘pretending’ or ‘playing a part’,
‘play-acting’. They accuse Jesus of using evil means to heal people,
implying evil motivations and access to dark powers. He suggests to
them that pretending to be who you are not is one kind of brokenness; it
cuts you off from yourself. You can find your way back from that. But
making out that goodness is evil is a more profound brokenness, because
it cuts you off from the source of your own possible wholeness and
healing.
