Gold

Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies[a] the gold? Mathew 23.17

The Lord asked the hypocrites but why?

Because they considered the offering more important than the Altar, which was the one that sanctified it. Unfortunately, this has been the attitude of many spiritually weak and sick Christian... in fact, some have even died. They were more attentive to what they left on the Altar than Who was receiving their offerings.

Seek

"The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God." Psalms 14:2

God knows those who seek Him, those who truly desire to have an intimate marvellous relationship with Him. And He knows the hypocrites very well too, those who only desire to show off but their hearts are far from His purposes.
