Jesus Teaches on Giving: From Performance to Private Devotion

Jesus Teaches on Giving: From Performance to Private Devotion

In Matthew 6:1–4, Jesus begins a new section of the Sermon on the Mount by addressing giving—not the act, but the motive behind it. In 2025, when public approval is just a post away, Jesus reminds us that the Father rewards what’s done in secret. Real generosity seeks no spotlight.
