One of the most common reasons why people reject Christianity is because of the hypocrisy of Christians. But if we have a problem with the way in which religion is often practiced, we can take comfort in the fact that Jesus is even more troubled by counterfeit forms of spirituality than we are. As we continue our exploration of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus reveals the marks of false spirituality so that we might practice the real thing.
