In Jesus’ famous teaching on judging others He commands us not to take the seat of the Ultimate Judge and to fight the hypocrisy of finding serious fault in others but none in ourselves. We explore this in Matthew 7:1-6.

Jesus assumes His followers will make a regular practice of the spiritual discipline of fasting, but like charity and prayer we will make every effort to be seen not by others but by God alone in our fasting. We explore this in Matthew 6:16-18.
