This is a great charge. It sounded like a charge Jesus gave the disciples that when they pray or fast, they shouldn't do it like the Pharisees, who do it for men and to be seen, but instead they should do so by shutting men out and focusing on their Father who lives in the secrets.

In essence, our goal is God and not men. Jesus went about doing good, which feels like he just went on living and not trying to curate his life, but by merely living under God, and his goodness was revealed.

Thanks, Abba's Shofar for the charge.

Thank you so much for this Mr Presi Joseph. I really appreciate how you framed it. It’s such a freeing Scripture, especially the idea of shutting men out and returning our focus to the Father who sees in secret.

I love how you put it, that Jesus simply went about living under God and goodness flowed naturally, not curated, not performed.

Thank you for reading so attentively and for sharing this. It means a lot.

Please, the honorifics are totally unnecessary. I love to be addressed by my names (smiles).

I think the insights you shared are truly insightful that I couldn't help but comment. Once again, more insights in Jesus name.
