Matthew 7: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:19, 6 October 2023

Matthew's writings of the Gospel of the kingdom were inspired. But what do they tell us in the context of the times and the precepts of the kingdom of God may turn your world upsidedown. Why should we Judge not? Why were there hypocrisies? What made the way crooked and straight? Do false prophets teach the workers of iniquity? Who are Foolish men and wise?
Comments
The warning of Jesus to be a doer of the word in Matthew 7:21, 22 are repeated in other chapters ^[1]
The warnings about people being workers of iniquity while thinking they are believers are all over scripture.
Being a doer of His word is essential to salvation. We know by that preserved word that "many" will be so deluded that even though they will read His words, claim to follow Him, and think they are doing things in His name they will actually be counted by Him and told by Him that they are workers of iniquity.
We also know because Luke 13:27 "But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all [ye] workers of iniquity." It should therefore be so clear to everyone who say they are Christian or think they hear and believe Jesus that they need to actually be doing what He said to do. Matthew 7 through the context of the Doctrines of Jesus, Everyone should be asking daily themselves and others whether in the institutional church or even in the house churches, "Am I and are we doing what he said to do or doing what he said not to do?" "Are we Workers of iniquity?
Augustine of Hippo paraphrased this idea in one of his homilies only to have it band as "hate speech.^[2]
V5 The Pharisees were hypocrites because they said they knew Moses but they did not.^[3]
V8-9 in this same instruction concerng the Pharisees Jesus equates the casting pearls before swine while speaking of taking responsibility for what we fail to see.
V24 Distinction is made between a doer and a hearer is equated with the metaphors of "rock" and "sand". A rock is a symbol of faith.^[4]
To repent, seek, and be a doer are common themes of His doctrine.
V15-17 What has been the fruit of the Modern Church but the returning the people to the bondage of Egypt through the covetous practices that have always turned the masses into merchandise and curse children.
Instead of a daily ministration of Pure Religion through Fervent charity they have taught the people the ways of legal charity from men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other.

Matthew 7

Judge not

[1] Judge not, that ye be not judged.

[2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

[3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

[4] Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

Hypocrite

[5] Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

[6] Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

[7] Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

[8] For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

[9] Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

[10] Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

[11] If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

The strait gate

[12] Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

[13] Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

[14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

False prophets

[15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

[16] Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

[17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

[18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

[19] Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

[20] Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Workers of iniquity

[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Wise men

[24] Therefore whosoever [hear]]eth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

[25] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

Foolish men

[26] And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

[27] And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Doctrine of Jesus

[28] And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

[29] For he taught them as one having authority^[5], and not as the scribes.
