OPEN SEPULCHRE

Kingdom Greetings in jesus name, how are you all doing in your verious homes and countries trust God you are doing fine, glory be to God,so usual we will be looking at the meaning of an open selpulchre so that we can be able to understand fully what we are reading, so the question is what is an open supulchre? in the english dictionary it is a stone structure where someone is buried or grave. Jesus used this words to drive home a point in (Matthew 23:27) Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited SEPULCHREs, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. So this defination has given us a complete idea of what an open sepulchre means, so let's move on with the reading and allow God to have his way with us while we read,this words open selpulchre plays a significant role in our everyday spiritual life that is often seen by people outwardly but spiritually seen by only God. sepulchere are generally beautiful in the open surface but genereally not what you see outside is what you get inside this is how many christains have turn out to be. lets look at the bible to collaborate the words you just read. In the context of the New Testament, the phrase "open sepulchre" or "open tomb" is not directly quoted as part of Jesus' teachings in a specific instance, but the imagery of tombs and sepulchres is used throughout the Gospels to convey deeper spiritual meanings. Jesus often used parables and metaphors to critique the religious and social practices of his time. One potential interpretation of Jesus drawing on tomb imagery is the idea of spiritual death or uncleanliness. In several instances, he addresses the hypocrisy of religious leaders, representing their practices as outwardly clean but inwardly corrupt, akin to an "open sepulchre" that looks fine externally but is filled with decay internally. For example, in Matthew 23:27-28,(AMP BIBLE) Jesus says: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean. So you also outwardly appear righteous to others, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.” In this context, "open sepulchre" serves as a metaphor for spiritual barrenness, moral decay, and the contrast between outward appearances and inner realities. Jesus used such imagery to challenge the people of his time to reflect on their true spiritual condition and to seek genuine faith rather than mere. The hypocrisy of religious leaders and there followers has not change from that time till now , many are still looking beautiful in the surface but dirty on the inside decieving the people of God with lies , hypocrisy, deceptions, and all other evil patterns and habit that has taken root from the inside of their heart which spills out in deeds and action in their everyday life. How is your life with God?is it an open sepulchre of religiousness with no spiritual growth a life full of finess on the outside, very filty and dirty on the inside, this are very vital questions you should ask yourself everyday,sorting it out before your time is done and you meet God then same questions will be asked you. as you read on check this bible verses as a cross references to what you are reading. ROMANS 3:13, PSALMS 5:9,PSALM 140:3 ROMANS 3:12 (Amplified Bible). The spirit of religiousness has taken over the church people go to church or religious gathering not with a mind, heart,soul of a change but with the attitude of hypocrisy trying to fool the people with outward worship while inwardly they are sticking and smelling with spiritual bad odor this must stop for the Holy Sspirit will not dwell in a person with that kind of spiritual nothingness. With all the sweet talking and high intellectual of the scribes and pharasis which are same like the false Apostles, pastors, prophets, etc,etc of today they couldnt hide what was inside, though they could decieve lots of people but still the fruites they exhibited found them out, what is inside of a man will definatly come out in the open not matter how long it takes. Matthew 7:16( AMP BIBLE) By their fruits you will recognize them (That is by their contrived doctrine and self focus).Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles?the answer is we cannot pick grapes from thorn bushes or figs from thistles. Ask God to make you beautiful inside and out by allowing his spirit to take charge of your life genuinely so you will be beautiful inside and outside, though the burial ground coffin maybe full of bones when opened the spirit has gone to be with the lord if you live rightously in Holiness dedicated to the Almighty GOD.
