HIGH FIVE!
The passage of Matthew 6:1-21, a part of the Sermon on the Mount, highlights key teachings from Jesus about how to live a righteous life that is pleasing to God. Here are some of its main themes:
- Sincerity in Righteous Acts: Jesus emphasizes the importance of performing acts of righteousness—such as giving to the needy, praying, and fasting—sincerely and not for public recognition. The intention behind the act should be to honor God, not to gain praise from others.
- Personal Prayer: Jesus instructs on how to pray privately and meaningfully, introducing what is now known as the Lord’s Prayer. This prayer serves as a model, focusing on God’s holiness, the coming of His kingdom, our daily needs, forgiveness, and guidance away from temptation.
- Eternal Treasures: Jesus advises against accumulating earthly treasures that can be destroyed or stolen. Instead, He encourages storing up treasures in heaven, emphasizing spiritual wealth that endures forever.
This passage invites reflection on the motivations behind our actions and reminds us to focus on our relationship with God rather than seeking external validation.
THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SUNNY DAY!
