Superficial Love

Superficial Love

Valentine's day is coming up so I thought we’d talk about love!

What is real love? We want real love!

God is Love

Most Popular were Good Looking

Have you ever noticed that the good looking was always the most popular?

They always got the date - Yeah I’m jealous because I’m not all that good looking I know.

ALL of you had it easy, - I had it hard!

Best Looking - is that love?

But is that really love anyway? I’m not sure I want to marry the best looking.

How do you know it’s real love when they are good looking.

You know when someone really loves you when you are disfigured!

Looking on the Outside

They the world many times looks on the outside. People would select a leader because they were tall it had bright hair. David was a lad and small in stature when chosen and watched sheep. God looks on the inside and sees things others don't.

Job Interview looks

Told to wear a nice suit and gold rim glasses Don’t fall in love with

in the hopes it will make you look smarter and attractive a Pastry Chef - joke

Will make you more likely to be hired. He’ll Dessert You!

And it works! And they hire an idiot because they focused on the wrong thing.

They say wear the clothes for what job you want?

You look at someone wearing nice clothes and you think why is he all dressed up?

He must be trying to kiss up to the boss or looking for a raise?

You look at someone else and they are in a Batman outfit - like what job does he want?

Judging a book by its cover

Does wearing nice clothes make you more worthy?

We shouldn’t always judge a book by its cover.

Does the way you look make you more lovable?

Real Love has no eyes

God is Love, but is God blind?

Ever wanted to be a doctor? Then you could see inside a person! -- Not really!

If you had an x-ray what would you see? Skeletons in your closet.

What if you were blind? What beauty would you see?

Outside vs Inside

Sometimes you look on someone who is beautiful on the outside and on the inside they are ugly.

Sometimes you look on someone who is ugly on the outside woah they are ugly inside too! Just kidding.

Matthew 23:1-12

1 Then spake Jesus to the multitudes and to his disciples, 2 saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses seat: 3 all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, [these] do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not. 4 Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.#rl 5 But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders [of their garments], 6 and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7 and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi. 8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren. 9 And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, [even] he who is in heaven. 10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, [even] the Christ. 11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Pharisees Outside

The Pharisees were wearing broad phylacteries and enlarged garment borders some say they added tassels? Why?

They were trying to look good on the outside!

Outsides

What’s wrong with looking nice on the outside? Why nothing really.

Like you should go to church in nice clothes not rags if possible.

Pharisees Inside

What were the Pharisees like on the inside?

Matthew 23:25-28

25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full from extortion and excess. 26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the platter, that the outside thereof may become clean also. 27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but inwardly ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Matthew 6:25-29

25 Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment? 26 Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value then they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life? 28 And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
