An apostolic face and a Judas heart

(Letters of J. C. Philpot) Many think that a minister is exempt from such coldness, deadness, and barrenness, as private Christians feel. And the hypocritical looks and words of many of Satan's ministers favor this delusion. Holiness is so much on their tongues, and on their faces, that their deluded hearers necessarily conclude that it is in their hearts. But, alas! nothing is easier or more common, than an apostolic face and a Judas heart. Most pictures that I have seen of the "Last Supper" represent Judas with a ferocious countenance. Had painters drawn a holy, meek-looking face, I believe they would have given a truer resemblance. Many pass for angels in the pulpit, who if the truth were known, would be seen to be devils and beasts in heart, lip, and life at home. "How terrible it will be for you teachers of religious  law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! You are so careful  to clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside you are filthy--full of greed and self-indulgence! You try  to look like upright people outwardly, but inside your  hearts are filled with hypocrisy and lawlessness."        Matthew 23:25, 28 link
