“Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 6:1 ESV


The Ash Wednesday message by Pastor Soh was thus, following Jesus’ commandment, be watchful of the intent behind our acts of piety lest they should turn us from God. Desiring to impress others, our works are immediately stained by our deep sinful nature, rendering seemingly spiritual and charitable deeds into acts that incur God’s displeasure. Instead, we ought to live out the new heart that we have received upon Holy Baptism, and strengthened through Holy Communion, bearing fruits of love and service to the Lord, as living trees bearing good fruits, rather than like dead trees appearing to be alive. Before God, we are dust and ashes made alive by the blood of Jesus. Continue therefore to pray, fast and help others in need, with humility and love for God, as the new creation made in Christ Jesus our Lord.
