Give in Secret that You Might Receive Your True Reward
by Dr. Ralph F. WilsonPart of a study on the Sermon on the Mount
READER 1 | Be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before men, to be seen by them. |
READER 2 | To be seen by them. |
READER 3 | To be noticed and praised. |
READER 1 | If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. |
READER 2 | No reward. |
READER 3 | No notice. |
READER 2 | No notice by your heavenly Father. |
READER 3 | No reward from the One who really matters. |
READER 1 | So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, |
READER 2 | Ta-ta-TAAH [simulating a trumpet] |
READER 1 | Do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. |
READER 2 | To be considered men of honor. |
READER 3 | Honored by men. |
READER 1 | I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. |
READER 2 | In full. |
READER 3 | Completely. |
READER 1 | But when you give to the needy, |
READER 2 | The poor, |
READER 3 | Those without enough to eat, |
READER 1 | Or enough clothes to wear, |
READER 2 | Who lack what you have. |
READER 3 | The needy. |
READER 2 | The poor. |
READER 1 | But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. |
READER 2 | Secret. |
READER 3 | Private |
READER 2 | Unnoticed. |
READER 1 | Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. |
READER 2 | He sees what is done in secret. |
READER 3 | He notices. |
READER 2 | He sees. |
READER 3 | And will reward you. |
READER 2 | He will smile. |
READER 3 | He is pleased. |
READER 1 | Your Father, |
READER 2 | Who sees what is done in secret, |
READER 3 | Will reward you. |
