Matthew 6

Matthew's writings of the Gospel of the kingdom were inspired. But what do they really tell us in the context of the times and the precepts of the kingdom of God and the character of those who would enter into it? According to Jesus the pharisees did not know Moses.

Comments

What did the Pharisees have wrong about Moses other than the Sabbath, the altars of Clay and stone, stoning, Leaven, the Ten Commandment, breaches, and much more do to sophistry?

V1 where is you Father.

V2 "streets" is translated from rume from rhuomai "to draw to oneself, deliver" to rescue, deliver from danger or destruction. the word glory is not translated from doxazó 1392 but we see doxasthōsin (δοξασθῶσιν) which only appears once. The term doxazo primarily means "to think," "to expect," "to imagine," or "to suppose." ..

V9 Our Father vs the Patronus of Rome, a Father of the earth.

V22 the born again love the light.

Of course, he was talking about pride and boasting of how much you gave but if we look at the whole context there is more.

Also... Left hand or left side had to do with charity almsgiving, grace, even mercy but the right hand had to do with force, law and securing justice. What he is talking about is not mixing these to activities like the gentile nations who call themselves Benefactors but who exercise authority one over the other.

Charity is a matter of choice. In the previous Chapter Matthew 5 Jesus talked about loving one another and not just those that love you but all who seek His kingdom. This is why a network of ministers were important. He was also contrasting the love of His followers with the publicans who were tax collectors.

Taxes are tithes collected at the point of a sword held in the right hand. If people do not give enough you cannot ask the right hand to enforce the collection like the Corban of the Pharisees.

To sum up you would need a network of people who gave charity to all seeking the Kingdom of God and his righteousness. You would need to give regularly beyond those who were in your own congregation or congregation of congregations or you would have little or no Grace. And to keep yourself in the practice of Pure Religion rather than the Covetous Practices of those who bite one another and curse their children and entangle you in the yoke of bondage, you could not use force to provide Welfare, pray to the Fathers of the earth or the right hand of the World. If you did other than that you were not a believer nor follower of Christ.

What is the reward of unrighteousness?

Pure Giving vs hypocrite

[1] Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

[2] Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Private prayer vs hypocrite

[3] But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

[4] That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

Public Prayer vs hypocrite

[5] And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

[6] But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Vain Repition vs heathen

[7] But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

[8] Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

Pray Our Father in like manner

[9] After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy will be done

[10] Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Daily bread

[11] Give us this day our daily bread.

Forgive as we forgive

[12] And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

Lead away from temptations

[13] And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Forgive or not forgiven

[14] For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

[15] But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Fasting with the hypocrites

[16] Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

[17] But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

[18] That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

Lay Up Treasures in Heaven

[19] Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

[20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

[21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Love the light not evil

[22] The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

[23] But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

[24] No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Do Not Be Anxious

[25] Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

[26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

[27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

[28] And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

[29] And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

[30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

[31] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

[32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

[33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

[34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
