Sunday School Lesson for the Adult Class
Witnessing as Jesus and the Bible
instructs us to witness
XI. Deeds in secret Matthew
6:1-4
A.
Alms, giving, good deeds are done before God not men Matthew 6:1
Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested;
neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.
Matthew 10:41.42
He that receiveth a prophet
in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that
receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a
righteous man's reward.
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
When we do alms or good deeds, we will
receive our reward and it will someday be made known to all. We are not missing
out and God will reward those that diligently serve him.
The whole point of this discourse is to
trust in God who you cannot see and not man who you can see; a true testing of
Faith.
B.
Deeds in front of people Matthew
6:2
Can man reward us better than God?
C. Keep it
hid as even from yourself Matthew
6:3
They say the offering for the poor was placed on the
right side of the door of the synagogues. Alluding to placing the offering
discreetly in, so that not only did anyone else not see it, but not even your
left hand.
D. God
is the great rewarder Matthew
6:4, Luke 14:12-14
Our deeds are for God above and the needful here
below. If we do things for our own selves, he miss the point of good works.
