On the one side of Christ's disciples, there are the hypocrites. On the
other side, there are 'the Gentiles' (32). The hypocrites represent
religion without reality. The Gentiles represent the world, living for
material things only, refusing to take spiritual realities seriously. We
are to be different from both the hypocrites and the Gentiles. Our top
priority is pleasing God, not impressing men. We are to live for God's
eternal Kingdom rather than living for a world which is passing away.
Living for Christ is very different from worldly living. Our life is to
be governed by heavenly, and not earthly, priorities (19-21). We are to
walk in the light, refusing to be overcome by the darkness (22-23). We
are to trust the Lord, refusing to let unbelieving anxiety rule our
lives ( 25-34).
