Matthew
Sermon on the Mount
Remember the portion of the sermon on Jesus fulfilling the law (5:17-20)
Today’s passage is going to sum up all of the verses prior and introduce a closing teaching that we will get to as our series continues.
Introduction
Jesus has been teaching Kingdom values, beginning with the beatitudes and then moving onto topics like the law and ultimately how to live righteously.
In today’s Scripture, Jesus addresses some potential misapplications of His teachings thus far.
Demands for superior righteousness of the kingdom, in fulfillment of the OT law spurred Jesus to teach against hypocrisy in chapter 6. (don’t give alms/pray/ or fast like the hypocrites)
Jesus now address two additional potential misunderstandings
Two standards:
Jesus has demanded perfection
Jesus has demanded love
Two potential misapplication
Being judgmental
Being undiscerning
Jesus then will explain the source of how to have wisdom in these two matters before summing up all His teaching in one short and familiar saying.
FIRST POINT (1-5)
>The answer to misapplying the demand for perfection:
>In short: the demand for perfection is for you to worry about you rather than others (1)
>If we hold others to the standard of perfection, we will be held to the same standard (2)
>The example: Be sure to evaluate your own walk before criticizing others (3-5)
Clean out your own issues first
But don’t refrain from ultimately admonishing a brother to do right.
I. Don’t judge without grace and don’t expect perfection, yet be sure to not leave a brother in sin.(1-5)
SECOND POINT (6)
What is holy (Sacred)?
In Matthew’s Gospel, this refers to the Gospel of the Kingdom
II.
Don’t extend the fellowship of the kingdom to those who are in hostile opposition to it (6)
THIRD POINT (7-11)
How does this teaching connect with what immediately precedes it?
It tells how to go about loving without accepting sin and how to practice and encourage perfection without
III.
Seek your kingdom living through prayer (7-11)
FOURTH POINT (12)
Golden rule
Jesus was not the first to say it but was the first to put it in the positive.
IV.
The simplest way to summarize the spirit of the Law is to do unto others what you would have them to do unto you (12)
