  4. Overview of Class (Galilean Ministry, Part 2)… • Christ is rejected in Nazareth; goes to Capernaum (Luke 4) • Healing the Sick • The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) • Relationship to Law (Matthew 5; Matthew 5:17) • Relationship to God (Matthew 6; Matthew 6:33) • Relationship to Man (Matthew 7; Matthew 7:12)

  5. Christ rejected in Nazareth… Luke 4:16-30 “And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read… 24And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country… And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. But he passing through the midst of them went his way,And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath days.”

  6. Sea of Galilee Luke 4:37-38 “And the report about Him went into every city in the surrounding region. Now He arose from the synagogue and entered Simon's house. But Simon's wife's mother was sick with a high fever, and they made request of Him concerning her…”

  7. Sea of Galilee Luke 4:40-41 “When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them. And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of God!’ And He, rebuking them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was the Christ.”

  8. Sea of Galilee Matthew 8:16-17 “When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: ‘He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.’”

  9. Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7)… When Christ finished, He entered Capernaum. This message was given nearby on the shores of the Sea of Galilee on a mountain. Matthew 8:1, 5 “When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him… Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him…”

  10. Focal Point of Christ’s Galilean Ministry was the Sermon on the Mount… Similarities with giving of the Law in Exodus… • Moses was a type of lawgiver. Christ is the ultimate Lawgiver (James 4:12). • There were 12 tribes of Israel. Christ chose 12 apostles. • There were 10 commandments. There are 8 beatitudes plus two additional sayings about persecution for a total of 10.

  11. Focal Point of Christ’s Galilean Ministry was the Sermon on the Mount… Similarities with giving of the Law in Exodus… • Moses brought the commandments down from a mountain. Christ spoke from a mountain on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. • The commandments were the core of the Old Covenant. The Sermon on the Mount can be said to be the core of the New Covenant.

  12. Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7)… • Three Chapters = Three Key Relationships in Christianity. • Relationship to law (Matthew 5) (Matthew 5:17) • Relationship to God (Matthew 6) (Matthew 6:33) • Relationship to Man (Matthew 7) (Matthew 7:12)

  13. Introduction to sermon… Greek “didasko” from root “to learn”; to teach; impart knowledge Matthew 4:23 “And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people.” Greek “kerusso” means to proclaim; herald; publish. Matthew 4:24-25 “Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. Great multitudes followed Him– from Galilee, and from Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.”

  14. Two Accounts of the “Sermon on the Mount” Luke 6 Matthew5-7 Greek “didasko” from same root word as “didache” from which we get word “doctrine.” Matthew 5:1-2 “And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying…” Luke 6:17, 20 “And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases. 20Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said…”

  15. Two Accounts of the “Sermon on the Mount” Luke 6 Matthew5-7 Luke 6 = Overview of message Matthew 5 = Relationship to Law • The Beatitudes • Believers are Light and Salt • Christ and the Law • Six “You have heard it was said…” • Love your enemies to fulfill the law. • The Beatitudes • Love your enemies • Do not judge • Known by fruits • Build on the rock

  16. Two Accounts of the “Sermon on the Mount” Luke 6 Matthew5-7 Matthew 7:28-29; 8:1, 5 “And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him.” Luke 7:1-2 “Now when He concluded all His sayings in the hearing of the people, He entered Capernaum. And a certain centurion’s servant, who was dear to him, was sick and ready to die.”

  17. Matthew5:3-12 Matthew 5– the Beatitudes… • Blessed are the poor in spirit– Kingdom of heaven. • Blessed are those who mourn– Comfort. • Blessed are the meek– Inherit the earth. • Blessed are those who hunger and thirst– Be filled. • Blessed are the merciful– Will obtain mercy.

  18. Matthew5:3-12 Matthew 5– the Beatitudes… • Blessed are the pure in heart– Shall see God. • Blessed are the peacemakers– Be called sons of God. • Blessed are those persecuted– Kingdom of heaven. • Two additional statements/promises… • Blessed are you when reviled falsely. • Rejoice– Great reward in heaven.

  19. Matthew 5– Believers are light and salt… “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?... You are the light of the world, A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand.” Matthew5:13-16 Matthew 5– Christ and the law… “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all be fulfilled.” Matthew5:17-20

  20. Key word in this verse is “fulfill.” “…I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.” Greek is “pleroo.” Matthew5:17-20 plhrovwf: to give the true or complete meaning to something - ‘to give the true meaning to, to provide the real significance of.’ oujk h\lqon katalu'sai ajlla; plhrw'sai:‘I did not come to destroy but to give true meaning to’ Mt 5.17. Louw, Johannes P. and Nida, Eugene A., Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament based on Semantic Domains, (New York: United Bible Societies) 1988, 1989.

  21. Matthew 5– Six “You have heard that it was said” Christ is quoting the “oral law” and the leading rabbinical authorities… Matthew5:21-48 • You shall not murder– Whoever is angry with his brother without a cause is in danger of the judgment. • You shall not commit adultery– Whoever looks on a woman to lust. • You can divorce your wife– Whoever divorces and remarries has committed adultery. • You shall not swear falsely– Do not swear at all. • An eye for an eye– Turn the other cheek. • You shall love your neighbor– You must love your enemy.

  22. Jewish Literature… To understand the scene in the time of Christ we must consult the Jewish writings…

  23. Origin of the “Oral Law” and Sayings of the Jews… • Mishnah:Comes from term that means “to repeat.” It is the oral law that was handed down during the second temple period (500 BC to 70 AD). In Jewish circles the oral law carried as much authority as the “mikrah” (written law). It was not transmitted in writing, only orally until the time of Judah the Prince (200 AD). • “Mishnah, the derivative of the verb ‘shanah,’ means therefore: (1) ‘instruction,’ the teaching and learning of the tradition…and (2) in a concrete sense, the content of that instruction, the traditional doctrine as it was developed down to the beginning of the third century of the common era. ‘Mishnah’ is frequently used, therefore, to designate the law which was transmitted orally, in contrast to ‘Miḳra,’ the law which is written and read.” (Jewish Encyclopedia).

  24. Origin of the “Oral Law” and Sayings of the Jews… Oral Law: “The Oral Law is a legal commentary on the Torah, explaining how its commandments are to be carried out. Common sense suggests that some sort of oral tradition was always needed to accompany the Written Law, because the Torah alone, even with its 613 commandments, is an insufficient guide to Jewish life” (Virtual Jewish Library).

  25. Origin of the “Oral Law” and Sayings of the Jews… Talmud: Comes from word that means “teaching” or “instruction.” The Talmud is the commentary on the Mishnah (oral law). It is a collection of discussions by leading rabbinic authorities on the interpretation and application of the oral law. Palestinian Talmud: This volume of writings was completed about 400 AD in the area of Palestine. Babylonian Talmud: This version of the writings is more exhaustive and was not completed until around 600 AD in the area of Babylon. It is the recognized authority for the Talmud. Tanna’im: Rabbis quoted in the Mishnah. Word is from Aramaic and means “teachers.” Amora’im: Rabbis quoted in the Talmud (gemara). Word is from Aramaic and means “explainers” or “interpreters.”

  26. Matthew 6– Relationship to God Matthew 6 • How to please God (1-4) • The Model Prayer (5-15) • Fasting (16-18) • Treasures in Heaven (19-21) • Lamp of the Body (22-24) • Do not Worry (25-34)

  27. Matthew 6 Matthew 6:33 Key Scripture “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

  28. Matthew 7– Relationship with fellow man… Matthew 7 • Do not judge. We must first remove the beam out of our own eye before we can help someone else. Moral– clean up your own life (1-6). • Be persistent. Keep asking, seeking, and knocking (7-12). • The true way is a narrow way. The wrong way is broad (verses 13-14). • Will be known by your fruits (15-20). • Must obey God or He will not know us (21-23). • Build on the rock (24-29).

  29. Matthew 7:12 Key Scripture Matthew 7:12 “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” The golden rule, based on Leviticus 19:18 “You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself; I am the LORD.”

  30. Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7)… • Three Chapters = Three Key Relationships in Christianity. • Relationship to law (Matthew 5) (Matthew 5:17) • Relationship to God (Matthew 6) (Matthew 6:33) • Relationship to Man (Matthew 7) (Matthew 7:12)
