Recently in Australia an endangered flower bloomed with many watching at the Royal Botanical Gardens. The flower is called the corpse flower. This beautiful plant that blooms once a year for twenty four hours has been described as smelling like “rotten flesh, with notes of old fish and decayed cabbage”. In Jesus day He makes a comparison of something that appears to be beautiful but has a disgusting element to it. What Jesus describes is self-righteousness. In describing the self-righteous religious rulers of His day, He describes them as, “whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.” Not a picture you would want to emulate!
