Day 015 – Matthew Ch: 5-7

June 14, 2020 reading / June 15th

I really like this extended comment section on Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount and the Beatitudes:

“This sermon not only reveals God’s divine nature, it puts into our hands the most powerful of evangelistic weapons. It is the greatest evangelisic sermon ever preached by the greatest evangelist who ever lived. The straightedge of God’s Law reveals how crooked we are:

v3: The unregenerate heart isn’t poor in spirit. It is proud , self-righteous, and boastful (every man is pure in his own eyes – Prov 16:2

v4: The unsaved dont’ mourn over their sin, they love the darkness and hate the light (John 3:19)

v5: The ungodly are not meek and lowly of heart. Their sinful condition is described in Romans 3: 13-18.

v6: Sinners don’t hunger and thirst after righteousness. Instead , they drink iniquity like water. (Job 15:16)

v7: The world is shallow in its ability to show true mercy. It is by nature cruel and vindictive. (Gen 6:5)

v8: The heart of the unregenerate is not pure; it is desperately wicked (Jer 17:9)”

Blessings!
