The Good Life 4 – An Audience of One.
Matthew’s Gospel, chapter 6, verses 1 to 18.
Cravings of the heart.
We all want to be noticed. By someone, anyone. How good to come to Jesus, the heart specialist, to get a better perspective.
Jesus’ Prescription
- “When you give” – Matt. 6:2-4. Mask-wearers turn giving into getting by seeking applause. Jesus says “use the hidden way.”
- “When you pray” – Matt. 6:5-15. Mask-wearers turn giving into getting by seeking applause. Jesus says “use the hidden way.”
- “When you fast” – Matt. 6:16-18. Mask-wearers turn giving into getting by seeking applause. Jesus says “use the hidden way.”
A Fatherly Audience.
“Your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”
Matt. 6:18
What do you want? The rewarding secret of the hidden way?
A wide audience, or an audience of One?
