James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 5:11-12

PROTECTION ON EARTH: REWARD IN HEAVEN‘Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you: … great is your reward in heaven.’ Matthew 5:11-2 Kings : Revelation 7:2, portion for Epistle for All Saints’ Day, should be read in connection with this Beatitude.Our Lord’s first offers, His first promises and calls, tell of persecution, slander, and reviling; not of ease, honour, and worldly favour. His first promises do not even enlarge on the future glory. All that He does is to pronounce them ‘Blessed.’ All... read more

Analysis of Matthew 5:10-12 . a “Blessed ones, those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake (Matthew 5:10 a). b For theirs is the Kingly Rule of Heaven” (Matthew 5:10 b). c Blessed are you when men shall reproach you, and persecute you (Matthew 5:11 a). d And say all manner of evil against you falsely, for... read more

The Persecution of the Godly, And the Blessedness That Is Seen To Be Theirs As A Result. They Will Therefore Be Like The Prophets Of Old Who Were Also Persecuted, And Will Be The Salt Of The Earth And The Light Of The World (5:10-16). It will be noted that we have not included Matthew 5:10 in the above series of beatitudes, even though it appears to follow precisely the same pattern, and in spite of the fact that at first sight it appears to be the tail end of an inclusio made up of ‘theirs is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:11

‘Blessed ones are you when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, And say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.’ The switch here to the second person confirms that the previous verse is referring back to the past. His God-blessed disciples are now to recognise that they too will be reproached, persecuted and calumniated in the same way as the saints of the past. In the end people will have little good to say about them also. And in their case it will not just be for... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:12

‘Rejoice, and be extremely glad, For great is your reward in Heaven, For so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.’ And when persecution happens they should rejoice. Indeed they should be deliriously happy. For it will indicate that they are deserving people, and it will mean that their reward in Heaven will be great. To them will belong the Kingly Rule of Heaven which has been given to the persecuted ones of Matthew 5:10. Eternal blessedness will be theirs. For such treatment will... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:3-12

Matthew 5:3-2 Kings : . The Beatitudes ( cf. Luke 6:20-Isaiah :).— These nine sayings (eight if we reckon Matthew 5:10-2 Kings : as one, or regard Matthew 5:11 f. as having originally stood elsewhere; seven if we omit Matthew 5:5) have analogies in OT ( e.g. Psalms 1:1; Psalms 32:1; Psalms 89:15; Proverbs 8:32; Isaiah 32:20) and in other parts of the Gospel and NT ( e.g. Matthew 13:16, Luke 12:37, James 1:12, Revelation 14:13). Blessed connotes happy and successful prosperity. the poor... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 5:11

Reviling and speaking evil of persons falsely, because of their profession of Christ, and because they dare not sin against God, is a species of persecution, Genesis 21:9; Galatians 4:29, though the lowest degree of it. It hath been the constant lot of God’s servants. David said, Psalms 35:11, that false witnesses did rise up, and laid to his charge things that he knew not. Thus John and Christ were served, Matthew 11:18,Matthew 11:19; Luke 7:33,Luke 7:34; nor is it to be wondered that those... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 5:12

Be so far from being troubled, as to count it all joy, when you fall into these trials, James 1:2. Let it be music in your ears to hear that the drunkards make you their song. Rejoice in your hearts, express it in your lips and behaviour, for great is your reward, not of debt, but of grace; for our light and momentary afflictions are not worthy to be compared with an eternal and exceeding weight of glory; where there is no proportion, there can be no merit: especially, when it is given to us on... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 5:1-16

CRITICAL NOTESGENERAL REMARKS ON THE SERMON ON THE MOUNTThe aim and contents of the “Sermon.”—No mere sermon is this, only distinguished from others of its class by its reach and sweep and power; it stands alone as the grand charter of the commonwealth of heaven; or, to keep the simple title the Evangelist himself suggests (Matthew 4:23), it is “the gospel (or good news) of the kingdom.” To understand it aright we must keep this in mind, avoiding the easy method of treating it as a mere series... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 5:3-12

Matthew 5:3-12 Introductory Beatitudes. I. The first Beatitude pronounces a blessing on those who are Poor in Spirit. Let the limitation, the "in spirit," be carefully borne in mind. Poverty itself is not a blessing, nor does it always inherit a blessing. II. The Lord blesses those that Mourn. Again, let me say that sorrow, no more than poverty, is a blessed thing in itself. God made laughter as well as tears, and grief is no more Divine than gladness. The grief, like the poverty, must be of a... read more
