As we head into Lent, you might be contemplating what it means to fast. And, once we understand it, should we or shouldn't we? Let's read Matthew 6:16-18 and dig a little deeper with Bible Gateway Plus. |
16 "Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. (NKJV) |
