Hello everyone, I hope that next post about the memes doesn't mess up this blog. Most posts have some actual theological topics. So here is a new one that I am really happy with. It has to do with the sermon on the mount when people are told to disguise their fasting and hide their deeds of righteousness.
Something in my life that I don't associate with my good deeds and prayer life is my particular set of lifelong family problems. I am talking about my mom, dad, and sister, and maybe my psychosis that prevented other relationships. I have felt like no one will ever understand it, or maybe a few therapy people will.
However, after studying the book of Matthew in a bible study, I think that the way people can't understand it means I don't have to try as hard to hide it as a good deed of forgiveness or patience. Usually when you do something good, like volunteer work, it makes you feel better. But I have this suffering I have to endure, and it just doesn't feel like anything but shameful. So what does this mean? Perhaps it is a sign that the whole sermon on the mount battle belongs to the lord, and not just in my life, but all God's people. God gave us a life where we will be triumphant with the good heart he gave us from Jesus Christ's forgiveness. And we will be successful at sermon on the mount. It is our destiny and it is already in the fabric of our lives. Sometimes it is so hidden that even we can't see it, much less show the people we would have wanted to impress instead of God. That would have been wrong, so he rigged it in our favor. Test out this theory, see if it doesn't apply to everything.
