Beware! Religious Performance Now Showing

Artwork for The King&#039;s Arrival: A Study of Matthew 1-7

In Matthew 6:1–8, Jesus teaches how we are to directly engage with God. The religious highbrows of Jesus’ day gave, prayed, and fasted for the sake of demonstrating to others their spiritual devotion and superiority.

How ridiculous! They used sacred practices to polish their public image instead of pursuing the presence of God.
