As Christians we are caught in either of the two syndromes of Pharisee or Publican.
Throughout the New Testament, we find Jesus taking on the Pharisees who He found were obstacles to His ministry. He called them white washed tombs, cups clean outside and dirty inside and always spending time, doing the right things in the wrong way.They were giving alms for publicity, praying for prominence and fasting so all may know their piety. They were rather promoting themselves than God, and wanted to be seen and win accolades from human beings. On the contrary Jesus teaches us differently. He challenges us to have a relationship with the Father and to do everything in secret. He tells us that the Father Who see's everything in secret will reward us. All our good thoughts and deeds should be an offering to Him to the point where it does not make a difference if people do not find out about them. We are not after one foot Oscars statuettes, we are planning for Eternity and Jesus is the Only Way, the Truth and the Light.
Who could do justice to Jesus' teaching more than Saul, the Great Pharisee and later the greatest labourer for God's vineyard for all time..
Wish You Jesus, Remain in Him and He will remain in You.
Have a Blessed Day.
God Bless
