Jesus continues his sermon against glorifying one's self by looking at prayer. One should not parade their piety as it draws attention away from God.

Today's passage fits perfectly with verses one and two. Jesus tells us to avoid self-glorification. Our faith should be a living faith that seeks to glorify God rather than ourselves.

In today's passage we see Jesus warning us against self glorification. He uses the example of giving. If you give to someone in need don't announce it to the world.

Today we move into chapter six of the Gospel of Matthew. In his sermon, Jesus turns his attention to the three most common Jewish practices of devotion to God: almsgiving, prayer, and fasting.

We are nearing he completion of Matthew chapter five. Today we see the continuation of Christ's standard to love our enemies. He calls us to a high standard of conduct.

It is said that Jesus was countercuteral, and today's passage is one example of that. He is also calling us to do the same by telling us to love our enemies.

We are almost done with Matthew chapter 5, but today we continue the sermon on the mount. Today Jesus addresses revenge and generosity.

Today we continue in the Sermon on the Mount and Jesus takes on the topic of oaths. He tells his disciples to honor their word and let their yes mean a yes.

Today's passage sees Jesus talking about a difficult topic. That of divorce. He seems to give one exception, that being adultery. However the underlying meaning of the Greek terms suggests another meaning.

Jesus continues talking about the nature of sin, and adultery in particular. In today's passage he uses classic hyperbole to illustrate this, and does so with strong language.
