Matt.5 "Introduction"

"And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:/ And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying"

The Evangelist Matthews introduces the doctrine of God, which has been made manifest by manifold ways by the holy men of old. His approach to the Son has been set as Matt.1:1 indicates. Generation Jesus Christ takes up the theme of man 'in our own image' narrowing down generations of the heaven and of the earth to his creation. "And God blessed them." These generations are further clarified to occur within the day which by a decree is put under the authority of the Son. So the Sermon on the Mount consists blessings of the Father in his Son.

For an example " Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake." (v.11) the struggle a natural man faces because of his flesh and of his spirit. This dichotomy in our interaction with our generation becomes much more pronounced and unsettling. There may be persecutions formed from the ungodly and Jesus puts his finger on the cause, "for my sake". Each generation has had and Abel the righteous one paid with his life. Such strife is bound to occur because the law of sin is enmity towards the Law of Spirit. ("So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin."

"For my sake"

God blessed man who is created in his own image sets a key principle of Similitude. Thus man either represents the Son or he is against him. This representation explains the fall of man. " For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ." (Ro.5:17) God blessed Moses so his eye of faith saw this representation. "Now the man Moses was very meek," Or rather he made himself like Christ. "And the similitude of theLordshall he behold."(Nu.12:8)

Hi Frank . I'm so sorry for you . It can be very exhausting living with someone with mental health problems . They need a lot of TLC ( tender loving care ) . It's even harder if this person doesn't know the Truth . We who know the Truth have something very powerful and loving to lean on , those in darkness don't share our hope so don't share our comfort and strength . I remember how insecure and unhappy I was before I started to read the Bible , in fact I ask God to never let me forget how insecure and unhappy I was before He saved me . This world is a chaotic and scary place when you don't know about God , please try to remember this about your wife , she doesn't share your faith and so she is in this world without any of the things that you know you can rely on . Remember how you lived and felt before you knew the love and strength of God . Patience is the key , show her how much God loves her , if possible when she's in a calm mood , tell her why you are so calm and happy , gently drop things into your daily conversation , things to do with where you get your strength and security from . Help her to realise where her anxiety cones from , living in this chaotic world , where nothing can be relied on to be the same two days in a row , except God's love , that can be relied on , and maybe yours also :) . Your wife sounds desperately insecure and fearful and I can understand why , just watch the news and imagine that you don't know the Truth . You have to be her rock and then you have to lead her to your rock . All my family and friends think I'm so calm and strong and relaxed , I try to tell them that's not me , that's God , helping me to be like that every day . They don't like it much when I say that but I say it anyway :) . Give God the glory and let your wife know that she is loved very much , by you and by God .

please pray for Chuck Coomer and Scott Lovelace both are fighting cancer

please pray for my daughter Jessica and her family please pray for me

Matt.4 "Recap"

Eye of faith is in lockstep with God because of the soul of man is his true and faithful witness, "For His eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step." Faith is one and it explains the heart as a spiritual space with which God is knowable. "He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works."(Ps.33:15; Job 34:21)

God is set in terms of light which explains this eye of faith in terms of the body. "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light./ But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!"

Satan tempted Jesus because he did not understand the holiness of God and of faith which is one. Answering the tempter was to no avail. So he rebuked him,"Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."(4:10)

God sent forth his word which has been preparing the ground so holy men of old did not speak their own piece but what the Spirit set before their eye of faith, "Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow."(1 Pe.1:11) By the same token when Jesus called out his disciples straightaway laid aside what they were engaged in and followed him.

Thank you GiGi for your reply, yeah she is constantly believing I'm cheating on her too. I am very exhausted but I know God will handle this in the best way possible. He is faithful to His Word.

Hi GiGi, yes she is my wife. Thank you for your advice, and please continue praying. It is very difficult for me because I read the Bible for hours upon hours sometimes and keep praying fervently but she gets upset at the smallest inconveniences. Thank you for your prayers. God bless.

Jema,

Thank you for being upfront with me. I do understand where you're coming from and I will respectfully move on from this discussion.

Until I can find some place in the Bible that tells me that the soul will cease to exist and that hell is the grave, we will just have to remain in disagreement.

Unless the Lord comes for us before we die, our bodies are going to end up in a grave somewhere. I can't bring myself to believe that you or I or anyone else who belongs to the Lord will end up in hell (if hell is the grave).

I know I asked a lot of questions and I presented a lot scriptures to go with those questions. You mentioned that you don't have the time to read everything but I hope that if you ever do find the time to carefully read over those questions, perhaps you might see why I find it difficult to agree with you on this one.

Again, thank you for your openness and for being the kind and caring person that you are. I do look forward to reading more of your posts. God bless!!!

Matt.4:18-25 "Eye of Faith" (2of 2)

St Paul in his zeal persecuted the church and witnessed the beatific expression of the first martyr and his death. His conversion on his way to Damascus was foreknown. The light of the knowledge of the glory of God opened his eye of faith. He may never known other than the Law of Moses and related works. What he read with his new vision is the face of Christ the fulfillment of Law. The blessed whose delight in the law of the Lord shall have no difficulty is translating the old to the new.

vv.18-25

Jesus calling of his disciples were not happenstance but the light of the knowledge lending a hand to their faith.They instantly followed him as Evangelist Matthew did. In this connection here is a verse,"And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man." (John1:51) This direct reference to the dream of Jacob is what the eye of faith revealing the word of God " which ye now see and hear." Simon Peter at Joppa saw it; so did Cornelius the centurion. (Ac.10:1)

Whe God commanded through Moses he said Love of God must be with whole heart."And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might./And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:"(De.6:5-8) This has to be a sign upon thine hand, empower your hands so faith is followed with works. So how do we see in thy light? (Ps.36:9)

"And they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes" so we knowing the times are bad shall conduct with circumspect and with lowliness of mind.

Matt.4:18-25 "From that time on" (1 of 2)

"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Heart is a spiritual space where knowledge of the holy serves as understanding which must learn to distinguish between the real and the worthless. In the Parable of the Rich Fool what he could store up was his riches. Jesus warns they are seen so temporal and very deceptive. Blessed as Psalm1 teaches is the one who by close reading of the word of God shall know how to apply it to his profit."That walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful./But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night." Even our time we read of the simple foolish enough to step out with hammer with zip ties to root out 'undesirable' elements at the Capitol believing in every balderdash he read in the internet. The perpetrators of the hoax move on while fools are caught and put away possibly for life. In such times we are to be extra vigilant while Satan like a roaring lion are abroad freely sowing damage." Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"(Is.5:20) People perish where there is no vision. How can they when foolish shepherds have been sending them under their hand to facilitate the ungodly politicians without let up? They preach faith but their works are as those who call evil good?

"The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints."(Ep.1:18)

Jesus refers to eye as single. "The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light."(6:22)

"Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness."( Luke 11:35)

Matt.4:12-17 "The word of his grace"

"Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;/ And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim."

Light is knowledge that darkness cannot understand. So we learn from this verse,"Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father."( John 6:65) God is a Spirit and the truth in the inwards of man is to be known by his spirit. It is like a candle so no man may say it is beyond him. No he fools himself to deny God's grace. He sent his word and it is heard which darkness dismisses it as nothing. For man to benefit from it needs the Son whom he sent. "For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."(2 Co.4:6). At the birth of Jesus circumstanced forced his father to settle down in Nazareth and now events forced the Son of man to leave for Galilee. It is thus as long as we are in the flesh, darkness shall conspire to change our circumstances but truth helps us learn of the holiness of God and what does it tell us? "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."(He.13:5) God let his Son be tempted of the devil but we read that, "And, behold, angels came and ministered unto him." It is thus with every child of God, "that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God."(Ac.14:22) On our part we are called to continue in faith for his word of grace is sufficient to build up our lives in the sure foundation. "God knows who are his."

Life of Jesus was disrupted but helps the light of the knowledge of the glory of God spread 'Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.'(v.15)
