You who clean the outside of the cup first.
And leave the inside full of extortion.
Is all our hope dispersed.
Are we full of unremitting tension.Clean the inside of the cup first.
So that the outside may become clean.
We should ask ourselves for what do we really thirst.
Is it the spirit unseen or the world which is seen.

Surely we can clean both sides of the cup.
From faith find what is true.
We can in hope sup.
And find life that is new.

The cup is ready.
But are we steady.

…….

Do we clean the cup
On the inside and outside
Or just the outside

…….

See Matthew 23 : 23-26
