"And when you fast, don't look all soulful," Matthew 6:16.
No - that's what hypocrites do. Now, Jesus. Jesus just keeps on calling out our world religion shows. He really means for us to change religion. So. When we do spiritual disciplines like fasting, then we get washed up and use deodorant like normal. Not fasting to get noticed as super saints. Anyway, God's not impressed by our pious acting. Instead, we want him to notice our hearts. And he does. So we repent.
We meet up with a brother or sister today in the Lord's joy. And together we give thanks to God for Jesus and the new covenant impressed onto our hearts.
