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.”  Keep learning with the full show notes on the website.Check out Emily's recommended Bibles, references, and supplies!Subscribe to our YouTube channel where you can watch this week's episode and catch up on past episodes! ---Check out the Nothin' But Fine blog and website.Follow us on social media: Instagram Facebook Twitter YouTube Want everything in your inbox?
