Matthew 6:18 - John Wesley's Notes

Matthew 6:18

Fasting to Be Seen Only by God

16 “Moreover, ^awhen you fast, do not be like the¹ 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, ^aanoint 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 you¹ openly.

Lay Up Treasures in Heaven

19 ^a“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal;

20 ^abut lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.
