Expository Notes Excerpt: Matthew Chapter 5-7: The Sermon on the MountINTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUNDThe Sermon on the MountOver many generations, the Jewish people had been accustomed to hearing and learning the teaching of the Scriptures as they had been explained to them by the rabbis and other religious leaders.However, the scribes and Pharisees had augmented the Word of God with their own traditions andhad altered the meaning of God’s unchangeable Word by their own false interpretations.Thus, when the Lord Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount, he began to give the people the trueinterpretation of God’s holy and inerrant Word. However, because the people had been so long accustomed to mistaken teaching and misapplications of their Scriptures, much of the Lord’s teachingmust have seemed to them like new or revolutionary teaching. Rather, the Lord Jesus was applyingthe Scriptures in the way that God the Father had intended them to be understood and appliedthroughout the preceding ages.Of course, the principles of this same teaching applied to the Lord’s followers in all ages—whether,formerly, in the congregation of Israel, or, latterly, in the New Testament church.Essentially, the Sermon on the Mount concerns the practical application of the moral law in the lives ofGod’s children—a law which is not applied legalistically or in connection with rites and ceremonies,but from a pure and sincere heart filled with love for God and love for others. For the most part, then,this Sermon is applicable only to those who know the Lord, who possess the Spirit of the Lord, andwho are being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. As we shall see during our studies of this Sermon, unregenerate men and women cannot fulfil the requirements, or abide by the principles, laid down in thispassage by the Lord Jesus.This is not to say that the Sermon on the Mount is of no value to those who are presently outside ofChrist and still in their sins. There is much within this teaching that is designed to instruct and challenge the hearts and minds of the unregenerate. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit can use such teachingto convince of sin, righteousness and judgment, and to convert a person to saving faith in the LordJesus Christ. Thus, although addressed primarily to his followers, the Sermon was being heard alsoby a great crowd of unregenerate men and women. Certain sections of the Sermon—such as the‘Narrow Gate’—were intended to warn all his hearers against following the broad way that led to destruction.Bearing in mind, therefore, the intended audience and purpose of the Sermon on the Mount, let uslook at Matthew chapters 5 – 7 in more detail. The principal topics of these chapters are listed below:ixCreate PDF files without this message by purchasing novaPDF printer (http://www.novapdf.com)

Expository Notes Excerpt: Matthew Chapter 5: The Sermon on the MountGOSPEL OF MATTHEW CHAPTER 5The Sermon on the MountMatthew 5:1 - 7:29In the next few chapters, Matthew provides us with an account of the sermon delivered by the LordJesus on a local mountain or hillside. Luke gives an account of a similar sermon that took place on aplain. A number of older commentators believed that Matthew and Luke were referring to a variationof the same sermon, since it was quite possible to find large level places or plateaus in hilly or mountainous regions. However, it is entirely possible that the Lord gave very similar teaching on differentoccasions to different groups of people.Before proceeding, we should note that whereas the Lord Jesus speaks in Matthew of ‘the kingdom ofheaven’ in the corresponding passages in Luke, the Lord speaks of ‘the kingdom of God’. Clearly, theLord considers these terms synonymous.Matthew begins with the teachings that we refer to as the ‘Beatitudes’ or teachings that express theblessedness or spiritual happiness of those who not only hear the teaching of the Lord Jesus but alsowho apply that teaching to their hearts and lives.Matthew 5:1-2The chapter begins by reminding us that Jesus was being besieged by a great throng of people.(Matt. 4:25) Many of these people saw in the Lord Jesus only a great man or an outstanding teacher.Nevertheless, they latched on to him for what they might be able to gain physically or materially, suchas food. Many others, however, had been enthralled by his wonderful words, and had marvelled at hismiracles of healing and deliverance. Nevertheless, some of these sought only to take Christ andmake him their leader, ruler or king—one whom they hoped would lead them against their Romanoccupiers. (John 6:15) Still others were genuinely seeking the kingdom of God, and were hungeringand thirsting after righteousness.To those who genuinely sought him with a humble and contrite heart, the Lord Jesus would alwaysrespond. Nevertheless, he wished to separate himself from the greater throng of people in order toteach his own. For this and other reasons, the Lord ascended this mountain or hill near to the area.Once upon the elevated side of the mountain, the Lord Jesus sat down. This was the customary position for Jewish teachers (cf. Luke 4:20), hence we hear of those ‘who sit in Moses’ seat’: i.e., thosewho occupy a teaching position in regard to the law—the Law of God being considered to stand supreme over all men and all the teachings of men. (Matt. 23:2-3)We next learn from this verse that the disciples came to Jesus, or gathered around him. Principally,we are to understand the Twelve. However, we note also from the passage that many others followedthe Lord Jesus up the mountain, and these too gathered around to hear his words. Nevertheless, wemust understand that the Lord was not about to teach unbelievers—as the subsequent context willshow clearly. Rather, he was about to teach his disciples, who in turn would teach the early church.However, also included among this vast crowd would be many who had believed on the Lord Jesus,but who were not one of the Twelve. Therefore, a considerable number of believers could have beenpresent on this occasion, in addition to the Twelve.1Create PDF files without this message by purchasing novaPDF printer (http://www.novapdf.com)
Expository Notes Excerpt: Matthew Chapter 5: The Sermon on the MountFailure to understand that the Lord Jesus was addressing this sermon to believers primarily (althoughnot exclusively) will result in a faulty understanding of this entire sermon. Undoubtedly, many wouldbe present who did not (or did not yet) believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Nevertheless, although theywould hear—and to some extent benefit from—the Lord’s words, on this occasion the Lord’s teachingwas not addressed specifically to them.Thus, the Lord Jesus begins to instruct his immediate disciples—although many others also who hadbelieved on him, but were not one of the Twelve, would benefit from the Lord’s teaching.The BeatitudesMatthew 5:3-12Let us note from the outset the meaning of the word, ‘blessed’. Essentially, the Greek word maka,rioj(makarios) means to be ‘blessed’ or ‘happy’ because of favourable circumstances. However, in thiscontext, it is better to think of the word as meaning ‘privileged’, ‘especially favoured’, or ‘fortunate’ because of that person’s relationship to God and to the Lord’s loving and providential care over him orher under all circumstances in their lives. For this and other reasons, these beatitudes can apply onlyto those who know the Lord personally; having experienced his saving power, grace and mercy intheir lives.Again, in the passage that follows, we are not to consider the beatitudes as though each one werebeing addressed to different individuals or different classes of individuals. All the beatitudes are intended to be relevant in one way or another to all true believers on the Lord Jesus Christ.Matthew 5:3Jesus begins by declaring:Matthew 5:3 ESV(3) "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”(Cf. Luke 6:20; cf. also Matt. 19:14; Mark 10:14 with Luke 18:17)We must be very careful to note what the Lord is saying here. He is not declaring that it is a blessingto be poor, to be in financial straits or to be impoverished. The Lord Jesus is referring specifically to acategory of people: the poor in spirit. (Isa. 66:2; Luke 4:18) The poor in spirit are those who are humble and contrite in heart. (Ps. 51:17; Isa. 57:15) They are those who acknowledge their great need ofGod and of his salvation, and they are those who seek and find the Lord; who experience his mercyand forgiveness, and who then seek to live to the praise, honour and glory of the One in whom theyhave come to trust. (Ps. 34:18; Matt. 11:25; 18:1-3)Such people never exhibit an attitude of self-righteousness, or of arrogance, pride or ostentation.They never presume to push themselves forward, but grow daily in the love and grace of the Lord Jesus as they cherish his Word and hide it in their hearts. (Ps. 119:11)They are described as poor in spirit; but spiritually they are among the most highly favoured of God’sredeemed children, and the most richly blessed in the things of the Spirit. Thus, the Lord declaresemphatically, “ for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Such as these are the truly blessed of the Lord,and such as these find true spiritual blessedness in their hearts and lives. This applies whether they2Create PDF files without this message by purchasing novaPDF printer (http://www.novapdf.com)
Expository Notes Excerpt: Matthew Chapter 5: The Sermon on the Mountare rich or poor in relation to this world’s goods, and completely regardless of their standing or statusbefore men.Thus, concerning such followers of the Lord, it is written:Matthew 25:34 ESV(34) “Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who areblessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from thefoundation of the world’ ” (See also vv. 35-39)The poor in spirit are among the first to help others and to minister to their needs. Yet, in their gentleness, kindness and humility, they do not fully realise that in ministering to the needs of others, theyare ministering to Christ.Matthew 5:4Next, the Lord Jesus declares:Matthew 5:4 ESV(4) "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”(Cf. Luke 6:21,25; cf. also Isa. 61:2-3; John 16:20-22; 2 Cor. 1:4-7;Rev. 7:17)This should not be understood to mean that those are blessed, privileged or fortunate who go aboutwith solemn expressions on their faces; who rarely if ever show any signs of happiness, joy or anyother such emotion, or who believe that commitment to Christ involves standing aloof from the peopleof the world and appearing to them as though they were superior or morally better than the ungodlymass of mankind. Manifestly, this would be rank hypocrisy, and this was one of the very sins of whichthe Pharisees were most guilty.In this context, ‘those who mourn’ are those who show a due appreciation for sin in their lives. (Cf.2 Cor. 7:10) They are those who acknowledge freely to God their many shortcomings, failures andmistakes—all of which are offensive to a most holy God—and who seek, with a humble, contrite andrepentant heart, the forgiveness of the Lord. They, indeed, would be comforted in the knowledge oftheir sins forgiven because of the work that the Lord Jesus would accom
