Having described the citizens of the kingdom, Jesus now proceeds to describe the righteousness of the kingdom, which takes up the bulk of His sermon He begins by correcting a false impression some may have had about His relationship with the Law of Moses and the Prophets...
A. MANY UNDERSTAND JESUS TO CONTRAST THE “OLD” WITH THE “NEW”... I.e., comparing the Law of Moses with the Law of Christ which would govern His kingdom This in essence has Jesus teaching: That the Old Law only condemned the outward actions But that the New Law introduced by Jesus condemned the inner conditions which led to the outer actions B. I UN...
In the first contrast between the righteousness of the kingdom and the traditional treatment of the Law, Jesus: Declared that the ancients did not go far enough in applying the Law Illustrated how it should be applied by those seeking to surpass the “righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees” We have seen that the righteousness of the kingdom is a...
THE PRESENT IS NOT OUR ONLY LIFE; WE ARE DESTINED FOR ETERNITY! The future holds the possibility of hell (Greek, gehenna, the place of everlasting torment) What we do or not do in the present will determine our place in the future NOTHING, NO MATTER HOW PRECIOUS, SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DOOM OUR GLORIOUS DESTINY! God’s goal for us is the kingdom of he...
Again we see that the righteousness of the kingdom exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees Whereas they would often spice their statements with vows and oaths in order to be believed Citizens of the kingdom are to be so truthful that their simple “yes” means “yes” and their “no” means “no” So truthful and trustworthy are the disciples of Christ t...
In chapter five, we found Jesus contrasting the righteousness of the kingdom with what the scribes and Pharisees were teaching As we enter chapter six, we find the contrast to be with what they were practicing The entire chapter expounds upon the righteousness of the kingdom with respect to man’s relation to God, especially in the practice of cert...
A. PRELIMINARY THOUGHTS CONCERNING THIS VERSE... Some manuscripts, upon which the KJV and NKJV are based, have the Greek word eleemosunen Translated “alms”, or “charitable deeds” Which would make verse one refer specifically to almsgiving, or charitable deeds Older manuscripts, upon which the ASV and NASV are based, have the Greek word
Don’t be like the “hypocrites” (literally, “actors”) Who sound trumpets in the synagogues and streets Who are looking to be honored by men “They have their reward” I.e., they receive exactly (and only) what they wanted: the praise of men But remember verse one... They have no reward from the Father in heaven Neither in the present or in the future...
The sixth chapter expounds upon the righteousness of the kingdom with respect to man’s relation to God, especially in practicing certain acts of righteousness Remember that verse one likely provides an introductory statement concerning all acts of righteousness: “Take heed that you do not do [them] before men, to be seen by them...” We have seen th...
The privilege of prayer is one of the most important blessings to be enjoyed by the children of God in this life How important, then, that we be sure to pray in such a manner as to be seen and heard by our Father in heaven! Next, we shall examine what Jesus says about fasting...
In this section, Jesus continues to expound upon the righteousness of the kingdom with respect to man’s relation to God, especially in the practice of certain acts of righteousness Remember that verse one provides an introductory statement concerning all acts of righteousness... We have seen this principle applied to charitable deeds and to prayer ...
There is much more that could be said on this subject But I hope that this suffices to stimulate our thinking on a subject which has often been neglected in both study and practice But implied in Jesus’ teachings in The Sermon On The Mount is that His disciples would fast; and so it is important that we do it in a way to be seen of God, and not by ...
Jesus continues to expound upon the righteousness of the kingdom with respect to man’s relation to God In this section and the one to follow (concerning anxiety), we learn that man must have his priorities concerning material things properly aligned if his relationship with God is going to be what it should [To keep our priorities straight, Jesus t...
ANOTHER ARGUMENT FOR CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S PROVIDENCE... Like the argument in verse 26 (the “birds of the air”) It is also an argument from the lesser to the greater “HOW THEY GROW...” Without any “toil” whatever on their part, nor any “care” bestowed on them by any human agency Yet their glory surpasses Solomon in all his glory! How? Through God’s ...
So, in all things, let us persistently look to God for the help we need! Especially when it comes to judging others, that we might receive the wisdom to do so without violating our Lord’s teachings against censorious judging...

Sermon on the Mount. Early in His ministry Jesus passed through the region of Galilee teaching in synagogues, preaching “the Gospel of the kingdom,” and healing every kind of sickness. As news of these miracles spread rapidly to several other regions, people brought their desperately sick relatives and friends to Him.
