Quiet

"Take care not to show off your righteous acts for people to see," Matthew 6:1.

Well. Jesus has taken social behaviors rooted in the world's rules contrasted against the new life in his kingdom, the society of God. He has called for change. Repentance. And now he takes on religion. World religion contrasted against life founded in God. When we give to needy people and shine the limelight on ourselves to impress the people we want to impress, well, we got what we wanted. But we didn't impress God. No reward from him. Repent. Jesus talks something new.

We meet a brother or sister today in genuine, humble relationship with God. And together we give thanks to God for his deep, quiet mercies to us.
