No one can serve two masters
(Matthew 6:24)
� Our hearts must be given to the Lord, wholly or without reserve. No one can
serve two masters means that no one can be devoted to two masters. Thus our
Lord shows the impossibility of any man seeking to serve two opposing masters
from the contrary affections and behavior exercised by the servant...”One thing
I have desired of the Lord that will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of
the Lord All the days of my life.” (Psalms 27:4).
� The People of Israel had tried to serve two masters during their journey through
the wilderness. Their double-mindedness exposed that they were unstable and
full of doubt; therefore, they did not have faith to possess the promise of God.
Serving the Lord is to love Him and to cleave unto Him. We cannot serve God
and love doing sins. When we try to do both, we end up frustrated and defeated
for breaking the Divine Laws… ”And have no fellowship with the unfruitful
works of darkness, but rather expose them.” (Ephesians 5:11).
� When the Lord chose to go to the house of Zacchaeus, it is said of Zacchaeus
“he was rich”. “Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord, I give
half of my goods to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by
false accusation, I restore fourfold.” The evidence of repentance that coming
from Zacchaeus was his declaration to abandon all dependence upon money for
his salvation… ”Be content with such things as you have. For He Himself
has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5).
� Yet indeed we can’t serve the master of peace and the heart is full of anger. We
can’t serve the master of love and the heart is full of hatred. We can’t serve the
master of righteousness and the heart is full of sins. We may attempt wisely to
maintain an attachment both to earthly and to heavenly things. But this is so
high risky to obtain the kingdom of heaven...”For what fellowship has
righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with
darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14).
