Can you hold two opposing ideas in your mind simultaneously?
That is called a paradox.
Yesterday I pondered Jesus’ teaching about doing your good works in secret.
He also said that we should let our lights shine like a city on a hill through our good works.
Which did he mean?
Well, both.
That is the paradox.
Except when it isn’t.
What is in common? Attitude.
Do we do good works just out of kindness as an extension of who we are?
Do we do good works in order to gain praise?
Who you are speaks more loudly than what you say.
