Good Morning,
We are now in Matthew 4. Jesus is so vulnerable here, he has fasted 40 days and 40 nights. Can you tell me anything else with 40 in it? Could you survive with no food or water for that long? The devil tempts Jesus to do things and Jesus uses what he knew to get the devil out. Once he goes through this Angles come and take care of him. Jesus begins to preach. He calls his first Disciples. Could you imagine working on your boat or catching fish and Jesus says come follow me. they dropped everything to follow Jesus. Front row seats to an amazing life changing journey. Jesus heals the sick and shares about Gods kingdom. Matt 5, this is where the Sermon on the Mount took place also the Beatitudes. Do you know that this means happiness? This is so cool read them over and over again. No matter if you are home schooled, go to private, public, college or work we all face these things in our lives good or bad. Just one of these can make your day go smoother. Matthew 5 we all know it in some way or form salt light, hiding our lamp. Jesus word is just as relevant to day as it was then. He even goes through some of the laws that they all knew and clarifies them. Matt. 6, why would Jesus say don't make a big deal about giving to the poor? Have you ever seen anyone have the look at me attitude? What did you think of them? Just like praying Jesus said don't show off. why would Jesus say that? He wants your prayers to be from the heart not the mouth. We all know vs9-13. Matthew 6 is I believe Jesus putting aside the show and going after us and having a personal relationship with him. So many people at that time and now just go through what they have been taught or the rules. Jesus wants more than that he wants you and him to know each other deeper.
Think good thoughts and have a blessed day.
