The Sermon on the Mount’ standard gets higher and higher. When we have achieved a certain standard, the Lord will give us a much higher standard, so that our spiritual lives continue to improve. Today, let us reflect on kingdom righteousness living. Matthew 7:1-6 reminds us we must not judge others, while in Matthew 7:7-12, the Lord prompts us to pray without giving up.

Today, let us study Matthew 6:19-34. These 15 verses instruct us regarding two issues: 1. how to solve the problem of money and 2. how to solve the problem of worry. Money and worry are two of life greatest problems. Here, Jesus teaches God’s children on how to handle these two problems.

Today as we study Matthew 6:1-18, let us reflect on three things: 1. Giving 2. Prayer 3. Fasting. Why do we need to study these three matters together? These three things are covered by the same principle. As we can see in Matthew 6:1, the Lord says “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.”
