The Sermon on the Mount continues in today’s reading, beginning with teachings on giving and praying. In summary, Jesus says to be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them, which flies in the face of most of mankind’s posture towards good deeds, because if it didn’t happen on social media, why do it, right? He also models how to pray, which falls in line with the posture of humility Jesus continues to preach. Our reading ends with an admonition to trust the Lord with your life and with your possessions, storing up treasure in heaven rather than on earth. No one can serve two masters; you can either love money and dethrone God, or you can love God and dethrone money. And after all, doesn’t the Lord create and care for all things, including you?
