This chapter of Matthew has many profound teachings of Our Savior Jesus Christ. As a result, many teachers and readers will tend to take these sections from Matthew 18, and understand them separately from each other.
It is critical for us to understand the primary message being taught by Jesus In this passage. Beginning with the context of this testimony written by Matthew, we can very easily pick out this chapter's relationship to the overall theme of the book: the "kingdom of heaven". However, As we dig into the local context of what Jesus was teaching the disciples in this part of the book, we to see a two-part message unfolding. First and foremost, Jesus was establishing God's priority in relationship rather than in law. Second, Jesus was teaching them how this relationship becomes a grounding reality for our day-to-day lives.
In this chapter, we see Jesus establish in his followers' minds the priority relationship in contrast to the traditional mindset of the Jews. We also see Jesus continuing to live and teach in a manner that reflected His message: “that we might fulfill all righteousness”.
