… Those who know that they need God – ‘Poor in spirit, the kingdom of God belongs to them.
… Those who cry God will make them happy.
… moderate (humility and tender), receive the land as an inheritance.
… Those who are hungry and thirsty (desires) for God – will be saturated (they will get his answers).
… Merciful, God will also be merciful to them.
… they purify in their hearts, they will see (experience) God.
… Those who make peace will be called God’s children.
… Those who have difficulty because they obey God; them the world of God opens.
… When they despise you for me, they persecute you and make up slander about you. You have reason to be happy, and even to be merry, for what awaits you in heaven will many times exceed your suffering.’
In Matthew in chapters 5 to 7 we find Jesus’ famous sermon on the mountain
It is important to remember that there is a roughly 400-year gap between the latest events recorded in the Old Testament and the coming of Jesus in the New Testament. During this period, which is sometimes called between legal periods or years of silence, there were no prophetic writings, No direct revelation from God.
Perhaps that is why Jesus felt that he had to bring some things to God’s peace. Because the religious leaders of that time did not teach or live according to God.
Another important point is that Jesus also brought a new era with new ways.
And let’s not forget that at that time they did not yet have the Holy Spirit, as we have at our disposal. Now we can be guided more specifically in each of our personal situations.
Matthew 5
Jesus pronounces beatitude
When Jesus saw the multitudes of men, he ascended with his disciples (B21), sat in their midst 2 and taught them: 3 ‘Which people are really happy? Happy are the poor in the spirit of the spirit (those who know they need God), to whom they belong to the kingdom of God. Happy are those who cry, God will delight them. happy are mild (humble and tender), get the land for inheritance. happy are those who hungry and thirsty – longing – they will be saturated with God – they will get his answers. Happy are merciful, God will also be merciful to them. happy are pure in the heart, they will see God. Happy are those who work peace will be called God’s children. Happy are those who have hardness because they listen to God; God’s world opens up to them. You are happy when they despise you because of me, persecute you and invent slander about you. 12 You have reason to be happy and even to be merrily, because what awaits you in heaven, many times above will exceed your suffering. After all, this is how they always treated God’s people.
Jesus teaches about salt and light (of the impact and influence we have on the world)
13 You are the salt of the earth. If the salt should lose its taste, what will it be salted with? Tasteless salt is useless and can only be thrown away and trampled.
14 You are St.himTLO SVhimthe. mhimHundredÉ on HOre is odevsad to see. 15 SoÉ SCcipherto not firedhimyou are to hide it to hide it, but the conditionieTe her on Stiecen to SVieTila KatdÉhim in the househim. 16 sohu SCietie VAsE SthimTLO insem people; Ahu behind the VAsimi goodyme noiny vidie God and His CHValie.
17 Do not think that I have come to abolish what has been commanded and predicted in the Old Testament. On the contrary, I came to make it all done and complete it. 18 huhprongui inawith, tE until the lasta Heaven and Earthhim, nor pieSmenko or sourrka from what borh prikazal, don’t loseie its validity until it is filledie. 19 And therefore Katdy, Who would not take even the smallest commandment seriously and lead people, will be the last in God’s kingdom. But he who follows God’s commands and thus learns others will be great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 Remember: If you want toiet to the heavensÉho krachatterie, Musie inam jiet o vieC nott Just about the formal fulfillment of orders and prohibitions, as the teachers of the law and the Pharisees do.
Comment: In Matthew 22:36-40, Jesus tells us that the most important commandment is: To love God with all your heart, soul and mind and to love others as yourself.
We can start from this every time we make a decision or when we read the Bible and don’t understand something.
Matthew 5 by verse 21
Jesus teaches about anger
21 In the Ten Commandments it is written: You will not kill. Therefore, whoever killed must go to court. 22 But Ja inam revelrytoam, te will be tried katdy, who is hnhimina on the stÉho blitniehim. scorageanie noHunter is a crime, and he who calls upon the other God’s punishment will fall to him himself.
23 dainasho-li do afterriftDku SVorJ Relationship to God and UVhimhomeI do you, te masho s nhimtoym Inconsistency, 24-26 separationhim her and smir se with nieM. only then predstup prEd of God. If you are not willing to SMieru with another person, your anger before God will sue you and you will not escape condemnation. It’s like a creditor leading you to a judge. If you don’t agree with him on the way, you will go to jail and pay off the entire debt.
Jesus teaches about sensuality
27 You know another commandment of the Ten Commandments: You will not commit adultery. 28 Ja inam insor revelrytoam, who would be underiewall žefeedhim to another tEnu, PorusIl Mantgalantityie, wouldhu Only in mysflaxaCh. 29-30 Atnoandhim insecho to tobhim at bestsenie it didn’t penetrate. Don’t be afraid ofrevelryci se nheneho, what do you do todaya for TVorJ tLife as indispensable as an eye or right hand. It is better to live with one eye or one hand than to lose eternal life.
Comment: Here is one example of when Jesus asks for something almost impossible, in this case from men. The key is to remember what is written in Romans 8:1: But now there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus….. It follows that we should not feel bad when we think of what he does not have. Martin Luther said on the subject: ‘You can’t stop the birds from flying over your head, but you can stop them from building a nest in your hair.’ To prevent this by doing everything to avoid the temptation.
And most of all, to rely on Jesus. We can’t do it without him, but we can do it without him! As he says to Philippi 4:13 I have the strength for everything, Christ gives it to me.
Jesus teaches about divorce
31 The Law of Moses allows a man to divorce a woman, but he must give it to her in writing. 32 JHowever, I say that whoever is divorcing his wife, who is unfaithful to him, who is unfaithful to him. Whoever marries such a woman is alienated.
Comment: As mentioned above, in our time it is important to be guided by the Holy Spirit in every personal specific situation.
Matouš 5 by verse 33
Jesus teaches about the oath
33 And other commandments: Do not swear falsely, but fulfill your swearing as given to the Lord God! 34 Ja inam insor revelrytoam: neprevelryreach inorBEC; Do not take heaven as your witness, for it is the throne of God; 35 not allowaDOWN YOURSELFnoeho on earth, thereforete is his bottomlife. neprevelryreach neither pri PosvatnÉM JerusalianÉhim, thereforete is mhimSTEM greatÉho krale. 36 neprevelryreach neither pri StÉ headshim, thereforete nenie in the VAShi power to inam grew bielé or black hair. 37 revelryCast a simplehim Yes or no. itwhose. Whent ZDorboozehimDo you know your words prevelrySah, you prove, te don’t talkiete intdycky truth and katda let excitementafromie From ZLÉhim.
Comments: What if Christians were known as people who never break their word! Then we would be considered trustworthy and could have a very positive impact on the world we live in!
Jesus teaches about retribution
38 it is also written: eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. 39 Ja inaM However revelrytoam, so that you don’t repay evil for evil. On the contrary, if someone hits you over your right cheek, set them to your left. 40 And whent would be with you chthiml nhimwho to judge and vziet ti sAty, give him a kabat; 41 ifte thim nhimWho Nutie, so that you with niem sel part of the way, go with niem twoaT so far. 42 Give the one who begs you, And don’t reject someone who wants to borrow from you.
Jesus teaches about loving enemies
43 And it was further said: Love your friend and hate your enemy! 44-45 But Ja inam revelrytoaM: Love St.É nepriftcalf, pray for those whorevelry inas PronaThey watch. So you will do honor to your father in heaven. He allows the sun to shine on both evil and good, and sends rain to those who honor him, and to those who despise him. 46 What maTE fromaa servant, whent you show lasku thimM, whorevelry inam her oplatailie? can’t you do itgirdleOu and selfish? 47 And if you are only friendly to your loved ones, what do you do special? You don’t have to believe in God for that yet. 48 Don’t make excuses for the borders of SVych motqualityie, but buORte so perfectedie In laSCE as it is inasho heaveny Father.
