- Bill Brewer 5 8 Feb 2010

Questions


Most likely all the way to the advice in v6 about “not casting pearls before swine.”


Both passages most likely reflect Matthew’s concern for reconciliation between Christian brethren

4. What attitude does the Sermon take toward law keeping?

The Sermon sees law keeping as a mark of true discipleship5. On what note does the Sermon end and how does it relate back to the

Sermon’s opening?

The Sermon ends on an eschatological note, which ties back to the inaugural function of the beatitudes


The Western Conscience• Western conscience begins with

Augustine• Augustine was first person in history to

be so self-absorbed as to write his confessions

• The Western conscience reached its religious culmination in Luther

• Its secular counterpart reached its zenith with Freud

The Western Conscience (cont.)• Augustinian introspection was amplified by such

things as ...• Christian hope of individual resurrection• Monastic life• Doctrines of penance and purgatory• The Black Death• Gnosticism

• Modern-day Protestantism is especially prone to Gnostic-like preferences for ...• Subjectivity over objectivity• Private knowledge over public knowledge• Individual over community• Inwardness over outwardness, and so forth ...

• Thus the tendency may be to over-emphasize the Sermon’s attention to “inwardness”

Matthew 5-7: Emphasis on Inwardness•Note that the inwardness of Mt 5-7 is not an end in itself•Rather the inward turn has an outward purpose•For example, one enters a private closet to pray for the public “hallowing” of God’s name•


Matthew 7:1-5

1 ”Do not judge lest you be judged. 1 ”Do not judge lest you be judged. 2 “For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.

1 ”Do not judge lest you be judged. 2 “For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3 “And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

1 ”Do not judge lest you be judged. 2 “For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3 “And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 “Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye?

1 ”Do not judge lest you be judged. 2 “For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. 3 “And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 “Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? 5 “You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. (NASB)


Matthew 7:1-5


NOTES:• Vv1-5 are the source of

probably the most mistaken idea in all of Christianity

• I.e., that one can escape God’s judgment by totally suspending one’s own judgment

• The real point of vv1-5 though is to “judge in such a way as to avoid bringing oneself into judgment”

• In other words, judge justly


Matthew 7:1-5


NOTES:• Question: Whose judgment is

threatened in v1? – God’s?– Fellow believer’s?

• What would the context suggest?

• Common assumption is God’s end-time judgment

• Matthew’s interest though is on harmonious relations within his community– E.g., criminations beget

recriminations


Matthew 7:6

6 “Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. (NASB)


Matthew 7:6


NOTES:• V6 is unique to Matthew• “Dogs” (cf. 15:26) and “swine” are highly offensive• V6 could mean …

– Don’t try to teach truths beyond what people can stand

– Don’t let unbelievers partake of the Lord’s Supper (Didache 9:5; also cf. Lev 22:10)

– Don’t take the gospel to the Gentiles (e.g., 10:5; 15:24)

– Don’t waste the gospel on those who are hostile to it (cf. 10:11-14)

– Don’t waste prayers on apostate Christians (cf. Heb 10:29 “trampled under foot the Son …”)

— or at least use parables!


Matthew 7:6


NOTES:• Or v6 could be a rather sarcastic restatement of vv1-5

(Bennett, WTJ 49 (Fall 1987) 371-386)“Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine”

“Do not judge”

=

“Lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you”

“Lest you be

judged”

=

• In other words …– Since Jesus had already judged his listeners as

unfit to judge; i.e., hypocrites (vv3-5), then …– They should avoid retaliation for their “pearls of

wisdom” (judgments) by not casting them before those they deemed to be “swine” (vv1-2, 6)

• If so, then Matthew shows Jesus poking fun at both the ability and the sincerity of busybodies


Matthew 7:6


Excuse me, but I think I see a

speck in your eye

OK dude, let me give you a little piece of friendly

advice …

Or in more everyday language…

Gal 5:15 But if you bite and devour one another, take heed that you are not consumed by one another. (NASB)

It’s about time somebody

straightened this pig out!!


Matthew 7:7-10

7 “Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.

7 “Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. 8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened.

7 “Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. 8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened. 9 “Or what man is there among you, when his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone?

7 “Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. 8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened. 9 “Or what man is there among you, when his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone? 10 “Or if he shall ask for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? (NASB)


Matthew 7:7-10

7 “Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. 8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened. 9 “Or what man is there among you, when his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone? 10 “Or if he shall ask for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? (NASB)

NOTES:• Listeners are not told what to

ask or what to look for• Let’s see, what could it be?

Hallow Thy NameThy Kingdom comeThy will be doneGive us this day…Forgive us our debts…Lead us not into temptationDeliver us from evil

• Vv7-10 are commonly understood as referring to the forgiveness of sins


Matthew 7:11

11 “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him! (NASB)


Matthew 7:11

11 “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him! (NASB)

NOTES:• Cf. James 5:14-16 Is any one of

you sick [astheneo-- feeble or weak]? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.

15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick [kamno-- weary or faint] person well [sozo-- whole]; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick [kamno-- weary or faint] person well [sozo-- whole]; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.


Matthew 7:12

12 “Therefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. (NASB)


Matthew 7:12

12 “Therefore, however you want people to treat you, so treat them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. (NASB)

NOTES:• The “Golden Rule” is central to

Kingdom ethics and is the “trademark” teaching of Jesus

• It interprets Lev 19:18, “love your neighbor as yourself”• In v12, it is a “kelal” statement climaxing and summarizing the main body of

the Sermon• It marks the transition to concluding warnings cast in sharp contrasts

• Narrow gate• False prophets• False confidence• Wise builder•


Matthew 7:13-14

13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it.

13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. 14 “For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it. (NASB)


Matthew 7:13-14


NOTES:• The metaphor of “two ways” is

common in Jewish, Hellenistic, and Christian writings

• Jer 21:8 … ‘Thus says the Lord, “Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death (NASB)

Dt 30:15 “See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity … 19 “I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants (NASB)

Ps 1:6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish (NASB)


Matthew 7:13-14


NOTES:• The wide gate, even broad way,

makes no demands and requires no discipline

• The narrow way involves the real difficulties of going the extra mile, enduring persecution, etc.

• Acts 14:22 … ”Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God” (NASB)

• Choice of the word “find” in v14 reflects the true grace of becoming a disciple

find


Matthew 7:15-16

15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 “You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? (NASB)


Matthew 7:15-16

15 “Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 “You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes, nor figs from thistles, are they? (NASB)

NOTES:• Presumably the false prophets are the ones

who lead people through the wide gate and into the broad way (vv13-14)

• A major question is their identity• Are they the same as the deluded charismatics

of vv21-23?• See Mt 24:11, “And many false prophets will

arise, and will mislead many” and 24:24, “For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect” (NASB)


Matthew 7:17-20

17 “Even so, every good tree bears good fruit; but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

17 “Even so, every good tree bears good fruit; but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 “A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.

17 “Even so, every good tree bears good fruit; but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 “A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

17 “Even so, every good tree bears good fruit; but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 “A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 “So then, you will know them by their fruits. (NASB)


Matthew 7:17-20

17 “Even so, every good tree bears good fruit; but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 “A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19 “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 “So then, you will know them by their fruits. (NASB)

NOTES:• “Fruits” are deeds• “Cut down and thrown into the

fire” is imagery of end-times judgment common in Matthew

• Thus the false prophets of vv15-16 will ultimately be exposed

• In the meantime, they can be identified by their deeds


Matthew 7:21-23

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.

James J. Tissot, "Jesus Preaches the Sermon on the Mount" (1886-1896), watercolor.

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. 22 “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. 22 “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’ (NASB)


Matthew 7:21-23

21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven. 22 “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23 “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’ (NASB)

NOTES:• Matthew continues his interest

with deeds, not just lip-service• “That day” refers to the end-

times judgment• The charismatics offer an

impressive threefold proof of their genuineness

• None of that prevails over their lack of true discipleship; i.e., their practice of “lawlessness”

“I never knew you” disavows any previous right relationship by reading the charismatics’ present alienation from God back onto any past right relationship they may have had


Matthew 7:24-25

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts upon them, may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock.

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts upon them, may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock. 25 “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and burst against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock. (NASB)


Matthew 7:24-25

24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts upon them, may be compared to a wise man, who built his house upon the rock. 25 “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and burst against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock. (NASB)

NOTES:• All of Matthew’s five major

discourses end with references to ends-times reckoning• Mt 7:27• Mt 10:42• Mt 13:50• Mt 18:35• Mt 25:46

• V24 has the hint of invitation• The “rock” is the teaching of

Jesus


Matthew 7:26-27

26 “And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not act upon them, will be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand.

26 “And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not act upon them, will be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand. 27 “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and burst against that house; and it fell, and great was its fall.” (NASB)


Matthew 7:26-27

26 “And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not act upon them, will be like a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand. 27 “And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and burst against that house; and it fell, and great was its fall.” (NASB)

NOTES:• The foolish man’s mistake is a

failure to act on what he has heard

• The phrase “and great was its fall” breaks the symmetry with v25 for the sake of emphasis


Making sense of chapter 7…

“Do not judge…” (7:1-5) “Do not give that which is

holy…” (7:6) “Ask and it will be given…”

(7:7-12) “Enter by the narrow gate…”

(7:12-14) “Beware of false prophets…”

(7:15-20) “Not everyone who says to me,

‘Lord, Lord…” (7:21-23) “… everyone who hears these

words .. and acts…” (7:24-27)

Most scholars see chapter 7 as a collection of largely disconnected “logia” (sayings); e.g., Hagner, Matthew 1-13, WBC, Vol 33a, 2002 … “We encounter a relatively abrupt

break [at 7:1] from the preceding material….”

“[V6] … appears to be a detached independent logion apparently unrelated to the preceding….”

“[Vv7-11 are] another self-contained unit having no real connection with the material that precedes or follows it”

And on and on….


An alternative (integrative) view of chapter 7 …








An alternative is to see all of chapter 7 “sayings” in relation to the overall theme of the Sermon on the Mount; i.e.,

God’s inbreaking Kingdom

• God’s inbreaking Kingdom would …– Be blessed– Be a peaceable Kingdom– Face opposition– Be a contrast community– Fulfill the Law– Exhibit true righteousness– Depend upon God– Exercise righteous judgment– Ask and receive in prayer


An alternative (integrative) view of chapter 7 …








WARNINGS


Concluding Observations The Sermon on the Mount provides an antidote to the cheap grace mentality

that infects much of Western Christianity Being a Christian means having a real interest in objective righteousness, not

just lip-service According to Matthew, the good news of the Kingdom cannot be separated

from the stern ethic of Jesus


Concluding Observations The Sermon on the Mount opens with the blessings of God’s inbreaking

Kingdom The Beattitudes

It closes with four warnings that look forward to the full realization of that Kingdom


Lesson 5 Questions

1. Answer objective questions and write detailed paragraphs on …• The inward nature of service to Jesus (Mt. 5-7)



4. What attitude does the Sermon take toward law keeping? 5. On what note does the Sermon end and how does it relate back to the

Sermon’s opening?6.

Main Points:

Ancient non-Christian Jews saw neither Isa 7:14 nor Gen 3:15 as messianic.

Matthew saw Isa 7:14 as messianic but did not address Gen 3:15.

Modern-day Christians exegete Matthew’s use of Isa 7:14.

They also adopt his faith claim on Isa 7:14 as their own.

Third, they make a faith claim on Jesus’s fulfillment of Gen 3:15 in Matthew.
