Nothin' But Fine: Bible Talk with Emily
Like This | Matthew 6
Jesus had just spent time telling what thou shalt not do. Now we see him advising on how to do things that they were already doing; giving, praying, fasting…even worrying. Remember that every time Jesus says hypocrites, he means Pharisees. Jesus is showing them how they can be better, more righteous that the Pharisees. I find this comforting. For me this is a statement made to our hearts. It's Jesus feeling our inadequacy in righteousness and whispering “they don’t even do it right. I don’t want you to do it like them. I want you to do it like me.”
