Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:1-7

A Suggested Analysis of The Whole (5:1-7). We will now seek to present an analysis of the whole sermon. But before presenting it we will explain briefly how we have finally gone about it. As is well known the first thing to do in considering something like this is to look for the inclusios and patterns, and among these we would draw attention to the following: Compare Matthew 5:17 with Matthew 7:12. ‘Do not think that I have come to destroy the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 5:17) --- for this... read more

Analysis (5:3-9). a “Blessed ones, the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingly Rule of Heaven” (Matthew 5:3). b “Blessed ones, those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matthew 5:4). c “Blessed ones, the lowly, for they will inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5). d “Blessed ones, those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled” (Matthew 5:6). c “Blessed ones, the merciful, for they will obtain mercy” (Matthew 5:7). b “Blessed ones, the pure in heart, for... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:6

‘Blessed ones, those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.’ We must here first consider what hunger and thirst in these terms signify. It must be remembered that these words were spoken to people, many of whom could only afford at the most one good meal containing meat a week, if that. And what they had then had to be shared with the whole family, while during the remainder of the week they subsisted on what they could afford, which was often very little. Hunger... read more

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 5:6

You see many men and women hungering and thirsting after sensual satisfactions, or after sensible enjoyments; these are unhappy, miserable men, they often hunger and thirst, and are not satisfied: but I will show you a more excellent way, a more excellent object of your hunger and thirst, that is, righteousness; both a righteousness wherein you may stand before God, which is in me, Jeremiah 23:6, and is revealed from faith to faith, Romans 1:17, and the righteousness of a holy life. Those are... 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 5:1-10

Matthew 5:1-10 I. The Beatitudes open that discourse which, whatever may be the difficulties of particular parts of it, has always been recognized as the most important part of the New Testament. It is, as it has been well called, the magna charta of Christianity. II. The Beatitudes put before us what are those qualities and what are those results which alone the Founder of our religion regarded as of supreme excellence. Often in revivals and in confessions on our death-beds people ask us,... 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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 5:4-6

Matthew 5:4-6 The Ladder of Perfection. Though there is, and evidently there is meant to be, a progression, an ascent upwards, both in the characters that are blessed and in the blessings that are given, yet it is not meant that we are to be perfect in the lower character before we proceed to the higher. Far otherwise, for indeed the very first of all is humility; but if we waited till we were perfect in humility, before we attempted to rise to that which stands next above it, we should wait... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 5:5-6

Matthew 5:5-6 I. "Blessed are the meek." The word "meek" hardly expresses the quality which is meant in the original. It is too passive a word; it does not sufficiently represent the actual character which is intended. In the French translation it is, "Bienheureux sont les debonnaires;" that is, "Happy are the gracious, graceful Christian characters who by their courtesy win all hearts around them, and smooth all the rough places of the world." Perhaps "Blessed are the gentle" would best... read more
