Matthew 6:16 - 6:18
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg teaches about Matthew 6:16-18, a section within the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus teaches his disciples about piety and religiosity. In this passage, Jesus outlines fasting as a religious requirement of Judaism and stresses the importance of doing it with the right attitude, without seeking attention or recognition for it. Gregg explains that fasting is not meant to be a hunger strike or a means of making life easier through miracles, but rather a voluntary spiritual behavior motivated by the desire for closer communion with God.
