Question: Is fasting right or wrong?

1. Jesus gave directions for fasting, showing both how it was to be
done, and how not to do it (Matt. 6:1-4).

2. Lamentation (Mt. 9:14-17)

3. Distress (2 Sam. 12:16f).

4. Concentration (Acts 13:2,3). Prayer and fasting are often
combined (here and Acts 14:23).

5. O.T.: Day of atonement: Lev. 16:29-34; 23:26-32; Num.29:7-11.
