2 | Annointing | Matt 6:17 | DocTrinsograce | 132089 | ||
There is nothing deeply spiritual or hidden here. All Christ is saying is "When you fast, appear as you normally do." In that day some of the Pharisees would stop their normal daily hygiene activities while fasting so as to appear to be fasting to others. By contrast, the believer fasts unto the Lord, not to attract the attention of men. John Gill says about this verse, "The meaning of this whole commandment is, when you regard it to be your duty to fast, do it as a thing expressing deep feeling or sorrow for sin, not by assuming unfelt gravity and moroseness, but in your ordinary dress and appearance; not to attract attention, but as an expression of feeling toward God, and he will approve and reward it" |
