In this section of The Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses our motive for giving. Giving isn’t meant to be a performance for praise, rather a quiet overflow of our relationship with Him. The way of the Kingdom is upside down. It’s not about being seen, but being known by the Father who sees in secret.

So the question is: Are we giving out of love or out of a need to be loved? Are we following Jesus with depth, or just checking the boxes of what a good Christian should do?
