He describes the character of those who belong to Him, the righteousness that exceeds mere external religion, and the life of trust, devotion, and obedience that flows from a true relationship with the Father. These chapters move from who the King is and whom He calls, to how His people are to live under His rule, culminating in a call to hear and do His words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Textual notes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cHe opened his mouth\u201d<\/em> (Mt 5:2) &#8211; This expression reflects a Hebrew idiom (see Job 3:1) that signals formal, weighty teaching, not just casual speech. Matthew presents Jesus to his Jewish readers as a new Moses delivering authoritative instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cYou are the salt of the earth\u201d<\/em>(Mt 5:13) &#8211; Salt was a valued commodity in the ancient world for the preservation of food and the slowing of decay because of its unique properties. As with light, (Mt 5:14), the Lord is using this metaphor to teach the distinctive value of godly testimony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cI did not come to destroy but to fulfill\u201d<\/em>(Mt 5:17) &#8211; The word \u2018fulfill\u2019 is a key word in Matthew (18X), often used in connection with Messianic prophecy. It means to bring to full meaning or intended culmination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cYou have heard.. But I say\u201d<\/em> &#8211; This formula is used repeatedly by the Lord Jesus in the latter half of chapter 5. He is not correcting scripture but rather correcting its misinterpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201c..your right eye..pluck it out\u201d<\/em>(Mt 5:29) <em>\u201c..your right hand..cut it off\u201d<\/em> (Mt 5:30) &#8211; The Lord is using hyperbole here (a common Jewish teaching method) to stress the seriousness of sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201clet your \u2018Yes\u2019 be \u2018Yes\u2019 and your \u2018No\u2019, \u2018No\u2019\u201d<\/em> (Mt 5:37) &#8211; The Jewish culture had developed elaborate oaths to mask dishonesty. The Lord teaches transparent truthfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201c..to be seen\u201d, \u201chypocrites\u201d<\/em>(Mt 6:1,2) &#8211; The Lord denounces religious performance and pretense by using pictures from public drama. The Greek verb <em>theamai<\/em> gives us \u2018theatre\u2019 in English and <em>hupokrites<\/em> is literally a stage-player &#8211; i.e. a pretender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cvain repetitions\u201d<\/em>(Mt 6:7) &#8211; Pagan prayers often used mechanical repetition to manipulate gods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cOur Father\u201d<\/em>(Mt 6:9) &#8211; This would sound strikingly intimate to the Jewish ear as Jewish prayers rarely addressed God in this way. A theme in the sermon on the mount is an emphasis on relationship over ritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cwhen you fast\u201d<\/em> (Mt 6:16-17) &#8211; Fasting is not commanded here but it does appear to be assumed as a worthwhile practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cYou cannot serve God and mammon.\u201d<\/em> (Mt 6:24) &#8211; \u2018serve\u2019 here is to serve as a slave and \u2018mammon\u2019 is a transliteration of the Greek word which actually comes from Aramaic meaning simply \u2018money\u2019 or \u2018riches\u2019 seen here as a rival master to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cdo not worry\u201d<\/em>(Mt 6:25) &#8211; \u2018worry\u2019 here comes from a word meaning \u2018to be divided\u2019 or \u2018drawn in different directions\u2019 &#8211; so picturing a distracted mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cseek first the kingdom of God\u201d<\/em>(Mt 6:33) &#8211; as a continuous priority &#8211; keep on seeking &#8211; not one and done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cDo not judge\u201d<\/em>(Mt 7:1) &#8211; (Gk. <em>krino<\/em> &#8211; Eng. critic, criticize) The verb properly means to distinguish or decide (i.e. between right and wrong). As evidenced by the extreme illustration that follows, the Lord is teaching against hypercritical judgment or fault-finding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cdogs..swine\u201d<\/em>(Mt 7:6) &#8211; To Jews, these were unclean animals emphasizing the Lord\u2019s point that not everything is to be shared indiscriminately &#8211; so to use wise discernment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u25cf <em>\u201cfruit(s)\u201d<\/em>(Mt 7:16-18,19-20) &#8211; refers to the observable character of a life over time, not isolated acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><u>Discussion questions<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Looking at \u2018the beatitudes\u2019 in ch. (Mt 5:3-12), what common thread would you say ties these descriptions together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. How do \u2018the beatitudes\u2019 challenge prevailing (or even our own) ideas of happiness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. What can we learn from what the Lord Jesus said about fulfilling the law (Mt 5:16-17)? How does this shape our understanding of the Old Testament?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. How do you tend to measure righteousness, more by outward behaviour or by inward motives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Why do you think the Lord Jesus connects reconciliation with worship in( Mt 5:23-24) ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. How can we cultivate greater purity at the level of thoughts and desires, and not just actions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. Is the Lord Jesus teaching \u2018doormat passivity\u2019 in (Mt 5:38-42) &#8211; that we should essentially let people take advantage of us? How do the examples He gives help us understand His true message?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. To love our enemies (Mt 5:44) might be one of the most difficult commandments to keep in all of the Bible, especially in extreme situations. How might we practically love our enemies today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9. What repeated contrast is evident in the first half of Matthew 6?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10. What can we learn from the model prayer that the Lord teaches in (Mt 6:9-13) in terms of focus, content and purpose?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">11. Why do you think the Lord Jesus ties forgiveness so closely to prayer in (Mt 6:14-15)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">12. What indicators should we look for in our lives to determine where our \u201ctreasure\u201d is?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">13. Anxiety is often described as living in a future that hasn\u2019t happened yet. How do we distinguish between legitimately planning for the future and anxiously worrying about the future that borders on a lack of faith?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">14. What does \u2018seeking first\u2019 the kingdom of God (Mt 6:33) look like as we are occupied with the everyday legitimate responsibilities of life? How does prioritizing the things of God practically lead to \u201call these things\u201d &#8211; legitimate needs &#8211; to be added to our lives?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">15. There may be specific areas where we are more susceptible to be hyper-critical of others. How could \u2018removing the plank\u2019 from our own eye practically result in us being a real help to others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">16. What practical habits can help us remain consistent and confident in prayer for ongoing needs, while keeping our prayers sincere and engaged rather than repetitive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">17. We tend to be naturally drawn to things like eloquent speech, personality, outward appearance and talent but why is fruit a more reliable indicator of one who genuinely seeks the welfare of the sheep?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">18. In the Lord\u2019s parable about the two builders in (Mt 7:24-27), the rain, floods and winds came against both houses. What could these represent and what lessons can we learn from this detail?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bible Class &#8211; Matthew Study #3 (Mt 5-7) &#8211; Notes and Discussion questions Matthew Study #3: The precepts of the King Main passage of study: Mt 5:1-7:29 Related passages: Session 1: Lev 19:2;
