Sermon on the Mount — Discipleship ABC<\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew Chapter 7<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>In the previous two chapters, the Lord\u2019s teaching included such aspects of disciple\u2019s life as Christian\u2019s character, influence, righteousness, piety and ambition. Continued in chapter 7, his emphasis is now on seven relationships: 1) to our brothers; 2) to \u201cdogs\u201d and \u201cpigs\u201d; 3) to our heavenly Father to whom we come in prayer; 4) to the general public; 5) to the paths and gates; 6) to false prophets; and 7) to Lord Jesus himself.<\/span><\/p>\n

To our brothers (1-5) — in the Gospels, the ones who are found to be very good at being judgmental are the Pharisees, they are so courageous that they judge Jesus. From what these spiritual elites have been doing the perhaps forms a social environment. People love to be judgmental. Those who have been called to be disciples are not immune. Therefore, the Lord warns: \u201cYou hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.\u201d Take note that the Lord announces in second person plural, demanding them \u201cdo not be like them\u201d of their judgmental mindset. Indirectly, we see that the Pharisees are once again used as a negative example.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To \u201cdogs\u201d and \u201cpigs\u201d (6) — \u201cDo not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.\u201d\u00a0 This single verse is not long. The translations do not even bother to add a subtitle for it. Indeed the \u201cdogs\u201d and \u201cpigs\u201d are not easy for us to take it in. In the Jewish culture, dogs and pigs are considered unclean cheap. A popular interpretation to this verse is about sharing the good news: if the listener chooses to reject, do not argue with him, just walk away. For even if your superbly strong reasoning can overcome his mind, still he has ten thousand excuses to reject and fight. This theory implies that people like this are the dogs and pigs. It triggers us to wonder, however, that if we should persist to share the gospel with him if we come across him again. In fact, many of us who are zealous in preaching the gospel were once the stubborn-minded listeners and we had the same experience resisting the gospel. My opinion, according to Scripture, is that the dogs and pigs in this verse point to the hypocritic Pharisees and the howling priests.<\/span><\/p>\n

To our heavenly Father (7-11) — Lord Jesus to his apostles not to continue in their following to the hypocritic religious elites. Now what new direction should they go for? If we put aside the subtitle, a fluent trace appears immediately. Jesus says: follow me. Verses 7 to 11 counter revolves verse 6. The Lord announces: come to me. \u201cAsk and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.\u201c Why? \u201cFor everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.\u201d This is a morning radiance breaking out of the darkness of long.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To the General Public (7:12) — This is widely known, including the pagan general public, as The Golden Rule. However, by the coordinate conjunction \u201cso\u201d (or \u201ctherefore\u201d ask in NKJV), we have to connect this verse to its preceding vv. 10-11. \u201cSo in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.\u201d\u00a0 Employing the hermeneutics principle, the key to understanding v. 12 is found to be the last clause. What, then, is the Law and the Prophets? The most authoritative answer comes from Matt 22:37-40. \u201cJesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”\u201d With what is reveled, we conclude that 7:12 teaches about a full dimensional relationship of the disciple.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To the Pedestrians (13-14) — Liberated from the boundary of the false teachers, the disciples are heaven bound. At that time, the Pax Romana is boastful of her infrastructures, wide and flat, Jesus however directs the disciples to enter through the small gate and narrow road. This depicts two pedestrian streams on two completely opposite directions. The narrow way and small gate, on the other hand, leads to eternity. \u201cand only a few find it.\u201d The word \u201cfind\u201d tells us that we pay effort and price for it. \u201cThe kingdom of heaven is forcefully advancing. The forceful men lay hold of it.\u201d Thus says the Lord in Matt 11:12. In the original language the participles \u201center\u201d in v. 13 and \u201cfind\u201d in v. 14 are both in present continuous tense and middle voice. The former tells us that to enter and to find are out of our continuous efforts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To False Prophets (13-14) — The Lord mentioned Pharisees the false prophet only once prior to this point, and he used them as negative examples indirectly. Now, in a straight forward manner, he warns the disciples: \u201cWatch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.\u201d They possess tremendous negative energy, because false prophets are \u201cdeceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.\u201d (II Cor 11:13) They are certainly deceitful by sheep’s clothing, but their fruit discloses their identity as anti-Christ. The fruits are: they are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ; (Gal 1:7) they secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them–bringing swift destruction on themselves; (II Pet 2:1) They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion; (Jud 1:11) Their mind is on earthly things. (Phil 3:19) etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

To Christ himself (24-27) — This is arranged in the ending section of the Sermon. Christ expects us to be in an intimate relationship with him. The expression of this intimacy is our obedience to his word. The Lord calls this kind of disciple \u201cwise man\u201d, because his faith and good deeds are build upon the rock of ages and his life shows forth the heavenly light, just as what Dan 12:3 says: \u201cThose who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.\u201d\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0—- David Yip<\/span><\/p>\n
