Matthew E23 – Lighted to Lighten

Hello and welcome to this episode of Agape Fellowship; here we learn God’s word verse by verse. We are in Matthew 6. In the last episode, we learnt how to give and pray in a manner that pleases God.  Today, we learn from verse 9, how Jesus Himself teaches us to pray in the right manner.   Jesus continues His awesome sermon on the mountain. Addressing God as Father and Jesus our brother brings us close to our Maker. Jesus teaches us to honour God and trust Him for daily needs; teaches us about forgiveness and keeping from temptations. Though Heaven and earth belong to Him, we can approach Him through prayer. 

Hello and welcome to Agape fellowship where we read and study the word of God verse by verse. We learnt in the previous chapter that Jesus did not come to overthrow the law but to fulfill it. We Got an understanding of murder, reconciliation, divorce, adultery, revenge and love, especially loving the unlovable. Jesus is offering lessons on discipleship. We are now starting to read Matthew 6.   God cares about how we do good things. The road we travel, the motives we had in travelling and the end result in all matter. Good deeds gain merit and gain atonement when we do it in the eyes of God. As for prayer, God doesn’t approve of long and showy prayers but prefers truthful ones. Let us please God and not men. D

Hello and welcome to another episode of Agape Fellowship where we study the word of God verse by verse. Jesus is teaching the laws given by Moses with authority and clarity. In the earlier episodes, we understood God’s stand on anger, conflicts and adultery. We saw how God’s yardsticks are different from the carnal ones. Let’s continue to study from Verse 31.  Marriage is an earthly representation of the undying and sacrificial love Christ Jesus has for His bride, the Church. Though God hates divorce, He allowed it by His permissive will so we avoid hatred and murder, and keep the peace. This is a reminder to not take marriage vows lightly. Jesus also teaches us how to love our neighbours and wants us to go the extra mile to help others out. God will be our defender when wronged. Do join us in the next episode as we continue to learn.
