The Hypocrites at church!
There are some people who criticize people who go to church and say that they are all hypocrites and that they do not practice what they preach.
Jesus said that he came to call not for the righteous -- but sinners.
The people that he called to follow him all had human weaknesses, but in the end after being called they also had the courage to overcome their human weaknesses and to follow Jesus.
Peter was so frightened when he saw the soldiers capture Jesus just before they killed Jesus that he said three times that he did not know Jesus. He was also so frightened later in his life that he ran away from Rome because the Emperor Nero was killing Christians and he was afraid that he would be killed, however, he suddenly had the courage to turn around and he chose to go back to Rome to die for Jesus on a cross.
The people who have decided to follow Jesus and go to church also have courage. They have the courage to start attempting to try to obtain a better life for themselves, and to also overcome the ridicule of those who call them hypocrites, but do not understand that Jesus came not to call the righteous -- but he came for the benefit of sinners.
