📖🕯 Holy Bible - Matthew 6 with Matthew Henry Commentary at the end.

📖 This chapter is about: Against hypocrisy in almsgiving, Against hypocrisy in prayer, How to pray, Respecting fasting, Evil of being worldly-minded, Trust in God commended.

🕯 How does this apply today?: "It is taken for granted that all who are disciples of Christ pray. You may as soon find a living man that does not breathe, as a living Christian that does not pray." ~ Matthew Henry

📖 About the book: Matthew, surnamed Levi, before his conversion was a publican, or tax-gatherer under the Romans at Capernaum. He is generally allowed to have written his Gospel before any other of the evangelists. The contents of this Gospel, and the evidence of ancient writers, show that it was written primarily for the use of the Jewish nation. The fulfilment of prophecy was regarded by the Jews as strong evidence, therefore this is especially dwelt upon by Matthew. Here are particularly selected such parts of our Saviour's history and discourses as were best suited to awaken the Jewish nation to a sense of their sins; to remove their erroneous expectations of an earthly kingdom; to abate their pride and self-conceit; to teach them the spiritual nature and extent of the gospel; and to prepare them for the admission of the Gentiles into the church.
