A short YouTube monologue by Rylee Meek reflecting on the Pharisees in the Bible. Meek argues that the Pharisees’ strict, admired morality was problematic because it replaced reliance on Christ; the speaker labels this substitution as Satan’s ‘‘greatest trick’’—making morally upright people think they do not need a savior.
Think about this. The Pharisees in the Bible, right? The Pharisees, they had impeccable morals, right? They followed the law meticulously, they were disciplined, they were respected, very religious, and they were admired by many people. Yet Jesus looked directly at them and said, you are children of the devil. Not because their morals were bad, but because their morals actually replaced Christ. Satan's greatest trick isn't making bad people worse or even good people bad, right? It's making good people think that they don't need a savior.
