THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 17: Practical Instructions |
|
The Pharisees made a big spectacle of public prayer
and Jesus rejected this practice and told them to offer their
petitions privately. When the disciples asked the God-man how to
pray, He gave them a model prayer that has become known as “The
Lord’s Prayer.” Fasting was another public display of piety that
involved sackcloth and ashes, but the Son of God admonished them to
do it in private. The Jews scrambled for wealth, but Jesus wanted
them preparing for eternity with rewards in heaven. The eyes are
entry ports to the soul. As your enemy, Lucifer wants to defile and
keep your eye from being single. Anything you think, say, or do that
disobeys the commandments of God desecrates you. Don’t make your
soul dirty. Keep your eyes upon the Savior and hold to the solid
foundation of the Bible. Remember, it’s not so important how you
begin your life after salvation, but how you finish it! |
