Objection 4: Christians Are Hypocrites

Stories of rank hypocrisy always leave us feeling somewhere between upset and ragingly angry. It depends a little on how close to the hypocrisy we are and its impact on people we love. But what about when it surfaces in the church? Is this common enough to legitimately dismiss the whole church as a bunch of hypocrites? Is it right for people to avoid Jesus because of hypocrisy in his church? Thankfully Jesus has something to say to both hypocrites and those impacted by hypocrisy.
