Jesus has a warning for our egos. Our egos can cost us our reward in the end. Here Jesus forbids us to turn his commandments into a public circus by drawing attention to ourselves. Join us as we look, not only at the meaning of this command, but also the example of Christ and the apostles on the matter. Matthew 6:1 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.” -Jesus, of course
Mathew 5:43-48. Christ charged Christians to love their enemies. As believers, we conquer and prove that we are God's sons and daughters when we live out his command.
