He also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once, ‘A shower is coming.’ And so it happens. And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,’ and it happens. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of earth and sky, but why do you not know how to interpret the present time?(Luke 12:54-56 ESV)
Jesus seems to like this word "hypocrite." He has been using it frequently. Because it fits. He also is set on pointing out how much we fixate on the physical, while neglecting the spiritual. God has given us the ability to put two and two together, to understand physical laws, and He has also given us the truth we need, with enough traces of being created in His image, to put the pieces together, to see Jesus as the One He has sent to bring us back to Him. They should have seen it coming... we should see Him coming too.
