Jesus' teaching on love in the Gospel of Matthew
Chapter One: Jesus is Love!
After Jesus quickly got rid of Satan in chapter four verse ten quoting the Word of God speaks through the prophet: ". Thou shalt worship the Lord your God and him only shalt thou serve" Satan has a point and let Jesus Then came the and the angels ministered to him, and began his ministry in Galilee preaching, "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is near" Jesus came into theSermon on the kingdom. He also said he was at hand, or, at your fingertips, here and now. The kingdom Jesus spoke only be maintained and deepened, to repent. Repent of what? Sin? What was considered a sin, Jesus? Everything was against the commandment of God is a sin in God's eyes What was the commandment of God?
Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the Lord your God with all thy heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
6 And these words,I command you today, so it will be in your heart:
7 And you shall teach them diligently to your children give, and you'll talk about them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, if you're down, and when you rise.
8 And you will bind a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as a memorial between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of your house and on your gates.
Matthew 22:37 Jesus said to him:You shall love the Lord your God with all thy heart and with all your soul and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself
40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
Jesus continued to hold a meeting on top of a mountain with his disciples in chapters 5-7, where you read it, instead of quoting me, the thing here, but I remember the most important partswhere Jesus sought to drive home the message of love. Love was his message all the time he was here on this earth. To love God and neighbor, and to show us how it was his mission. John 3:16 says: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life." Jesus preached the love of God and that the only way to enter eternal life, received the love of God, but faith in Him and GodLove for them. That is, to repent of doing evil deeds, the people all the bad things that had to hurt others.
In chapters 5-7 Matthew Jesus patiently and thoroughly explains and teaches how to love God and how to live life under the law of love of God He made it absolutely necessary that we believe in his love to come to heaven. How can one enter into a realm of love, unless you believe in love? It is just that, you can not! Jesus says that it iscan not enter heaven, the kingdom of love, unless you change and be a child of God, a love child!
Jesus continues to explain clearly in Matthew 5, what is the nature of those who will inherit the kingdom of heaven.
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for youJustice, they will be satisfied.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Jesus says that people who are humble, remorseful, meek, hungry for truth, merciful, pure in heart, peacemakers and to be in good shape when you decide to share his kingdom with. For if the naturehave described here, is to understand what it means God's love and approval in your life through your words, intentions, actions and deeds. Not only that, but says even if you have been persecuted for righteousness' and love all kinds of evil against you falsely for such things, you should really happy about this because if you come at last to heaven, you will get some great reward! If the suffering was for Jesus to preach the Gospel, teach the right way, andJesus had to suffer in some way makes up for it in heaven! The Bible talks a lot of reward in heaven for those who win in this life. The Bible says that anyone who is so great that the award can not even imagine how humanity is in your wildest dreams and thoughts!
He said in verse 16 of "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven."
So here we have a problem at times. Because we are not able toforever? Have you ever been angry with someone? Have you ever been bitter and want to go back to someone? Every time you hurt your chances of being close to God. Jesus himself said, if you are angry with your brother is in danger of hell fire! That is, unless they repent and always turn around and run the other way and love, brother! It 's all there in Chapter 5! Jesus says that if you plan to have someone a gift, but you're angry with someone, you shoulddo not give this gift to the person before you have reconciled with what you are angry. What is love! Nobody is perfect and everyone makes mistakes, but when we ask forgiveness and to forgive, forget it. We can start all over again! Why would anyone want to carry around all the burdens of bitterness and hatred? In Hebrew it means putting aside the weights and the sins that are so easy to fight us! Fall into these things so easy at times, and then we willjust accept as part of our nature. Well, I'll tell you, is not that the essence of God! This is not meek, humble, merciful, pure in heart!
PART TWO: Love your enemies
Matthew 5:38 Ye have heard that it was said: Eye for eye, tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but if one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if anyone wants the right and take your tunic, leteven your Cloke.
41 And if one force you to go one mile, go with him two.
Give it 42 to, asks you, and from him that the loans did not depart from you.
43 Ye have heard that it was said: You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and the track;
45 This might be theSons of your Father which is in heaven: why the sun rise on the evil and good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? not even the publicans so?
48 can be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Here Jesus says that Moses said one thing,But I say to others. It would be better if you hear me now, not Moses! This is not to love again you hit someone who hits, but sadly to say, this is the first reaction of people or groups of nations, or even today! I'm still the old laws of "eye for eye, tooth for a tooth" is not what Jesus said. He said you can not believe how you have to defend themselves. Two wrongs do not make good! But in today's world but to fight and avenge you will be judged asweak and spineless! You can see that there is no way to show how the radius of the company is now! They prefer peace to war!
If you walk away from a fight a coward and a weak character! They all have things in reverse! She needs someone of strong character to move away from a fight, or not to answer it again! If you have not read the Bible, if ever a movie about Jesus, then you might not know who has never fought! When hecaptured and beaten, mocked, questioned and finally crucified, He never said a word offensive to his captors, and fight back! He said he could not come for legions of angles up to his aid only from the snap of his fingers, but what would I get? This was God's purpose for coming from heaven to die for our sins are out! He said that although he did on the cross for those who had crucified: "Father, forgive them for they know notwhat they do! "He apologized for it for his Heavenly Father, and asked to be forgiven to crucify him! What love! What is forgiveness? What grace, He not only preached the message of love, but he himself lived, and the sample was all the way to the end!
Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and the track;
So you may be sons of your Father in heaven, because itHis sun rise on the evil and good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
"Do you think Jesus wants me to love my enemies? Those people who hate and can not stand it?" Yes, it does. If the world would only believe and act on this verse here would stop all wars! This is the only way to bring peace! The only way!
The best way to destroy your enemies is to share with your friends!
"No. We want revenge, you deserve to be punished, you deserve to die!""Die", so it says in 1 John 3:15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. Every person, every Christian who goes to live with the standard Bible of his faith or just do not skip steps like this can be! He says that if you hate your brother or sister, you are a murderess! This language is clear enough! I've written before, where Jesus says, if you hate your brother is in danger of hell fire! It 'also quiteCurses! The formula for the peace of God, happiness and prosperity is easy! Love brings life brings hatred and death! Although not actually commit murder to murder as many people with their everyday language? It says in the book of James chapter 3 verses 7 and 8:
James 3:07 For all types of animals and birds and snakes, and things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame a restless evil, full of deadly poison.Full of deadly poison! Poison hateful! The tongue can kill! Words can kill or bring life! Yes, it's true! Words were the savior of life or death! If someone says something about someone taking their own lives or in any way mean that there is a life lost or destroyed in some way, what happens in today's world, that those responsible for these words, which has brought death causes a murderess! This is what the Bible says, and if you argue with the Bible, you're supportingwith God, so I would not recommend!
Just to get with him and the hatred and bitterness, because it is the separation that is from God and others and even yourself!
It 'a simple thing, people said to those who love you Jesus that you did Sometimes even too much for some people, but Jesus said to love the sinner, even their own kind. What is really the proof of love is love, the Samaritans or those who do not get along with for any reason. This person has a hard time with therubs you the wrong way, and always test your patience. Or the person or persons who are injured or damaged in any way you think is irreparable. If you want to be repaired, you can be. It all depends on you. Consulting, not good, nor is it revenge.
The thing that will start you on the road for repair and healing is to forgive! What is love! This is the only way of healing and closure which always looking for! Not for revenge and hatred! This will lead to bitterness andEither verbally or physically murder!
Chapter Three: time to find the kingdom of love
In Matthew chapter 6, there is the teaching of Jesus, like love talking to adopt in daily life. He speaks of giving, but with the wrong reason. He says it is not easy to prove, or because you know that everything you give or how much you want to insert. If you are what you really love and compassion, just because the person does not need to advertise. This is notThe love, pride is! So, Paul said: "Even if I give all my goods to feed the poor, but have not love, there is nothing" If you do not do it for love of the people, then not much action. If there is any other reason, do not wear the right kind of fruit. This does not mean, your gift will not be used by God he still use it for what it's worth, but not worth more than its face value here on Earth. If you give a heart to love, and happy, youbless not only the advantage of seeing your gift, give, but it is also a prize much bigger here and now, as there, and then in the next life.
Jesus is also a lesson in prayer and how it is, our love for God and for others. And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners, which are seen by men to love. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. 6But when you pray, enter into thy closet, and when you shut the door and to your Father who is in secret prayer, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Jesus gives an example of how the Lord's Prayer for us. This does not mean we can not words, but the reason he said was pray for her to get our priorities right and ensure that our heart is right. Then, if we follow God's demands for prayer, we will seethe answer!
"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name." We must first acknowledge and praise the Lord. Give the Lord first place in everything we do and pray. With this we are acknowledging our relationship with the Father in Jesus' name. We are to love God and put it in first place.
10 "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as in heaven." Here we ask nothing for ourselves. We seek first the kingdom of God and what is best for others. This isto love others. We are praying and interceding for others before you ask. We will ask the Lord to do, no matter what our desires. We are laying the foundations for our petitions in the Lord asks us to do the right attitude and unselfish love for our petition against him. 11 "Give us this day our daily bread." So, we need to pray for our 12 day ". Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive our debtors" Here's the litmus test for our love.
HereWe really take the test and tried to see if we have enough love to forgive others to forgive as we want. Elsewhere it says: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive our debtors
Against us "sins are sins against others. If someone trespassing on land in a place that does not belong and should not be there without their permission.
Trespassing against other criminals. To do things for others and treat them as you should not do. Whenothers have done wrong, or treats you badly, you should forgive. This is a very important part of our prayers, because if we fail to forgive others for their sins against us, we might as well not exist. God does answer our prayers. If we do not forgive then you can not love God We would be in rebellion against God's laws of love. There is more to be assigned in detail later. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: "Now God is not for usTemptation, but it is not easy to fall into temptation, not only drawn by desire and seduced. God does not temp, then why pray?
Here we conclude our prayer of praise and thanksgiving to the Lord and acknowledge Him in all its glory. For this we need to know who God is, and believe that he is all powerful and all the rules to do. We must not only believe in God, but we also believe in him and what he said in his word. This is the confession of our faith. Then you caneven end up with "In the name of Jesus" Amen.
19.Lay not lay up treasures on earth, where moth and rust where thieves break in and steal and eat: 20 but for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust devour, steal, and where thieves do not break in and dig: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart.
Another verse that goes right along with this is: 1 John 2:15 Love not the world nor the things in themselvesaround the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For everything in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, not his father, but of the world.
This is not the same thing that Adam and Eve fall? It says in Genesis 3:6 And when the woman, that the tree was good for food (lust of the flesh) has been seen and it was pleasing to the eyes (lust of the eyes) and a tree desirable to make an essay, ( the prideof life) took of its fruit and ate and gave also unto her husband with her, and he ate.
Another verse that goes with this:
Colossians 3:02 Set your affection on things above, not on things of the earth. So we can see that God is not pleased when we do things of this earth more than to love him and our relationship with him. To love the things of the world, including the people of God is forbidden in Scripture. Love is great. Realselfless love that loves others more than himself, but no more than God
These verses are pretty self-explanatory and it is clear what is the point. Love is a beautiful and deep down is much more to come.
Jesus then goes on to say t0, which is the light of the eyes of the body. If you have true love, the love of God will be as clear as you look through the eyes of love in your heart, your vision. Your eyes reflect what they seem! He also says if you are badin your heart, because in your eyes, too, but do not shine like the light of love. Will radiate darkness around you! Bitterness and hatred is evil, and it radiates in the darkness!
CHAPTER FOUR: Do not judge.
Jesus in Matthew chapter five is a very strong reminder to be sent to others. "Judge not, lest ye be judged". What did Jesus mean? When we judge others we are not only demonstrate our complete lack of love, but also show our character and criminalDo not judge ourselves. Jesus continues to say that when we judge others unfairly and unjustly, we will be judged equally. When we judge others fairly and with love, we will be judged fairly and with love. Love is making a big difference in how things are judged. In judging the person or persons do not have love, and are only interested in the laws and see the other person to pay largest penalty for their crimes, they will also be judged in the same wayone day.
If we go ahead and judge others, and surely a hypocrite, there are also the same type of sentence a day.
We are looking for others' mistakes, but we even consider the possibility that some sin or wrong. Or that we forget the time we have done wrong to others. Remember how many mistakes we have done helps to humiliate us and helps us not to judge and condemn others wrong.
In his words, Jesus says:Whatever you wish that men should do to you that makes them too! Because this is the law and the prophets. 13 Give her the door because the door is wide and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many are walking out: 14 Because strait is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and few there be that find it.
The golden rule is one thing, the whole world knows, no matter what their religion or belief.No matter if you are Christian or Jew or Buddhist or Muslim or Hindi or whatever. The golden rule applies to ALL! The principle is the same all over the world! Even atheists have to admit that there are certain things that would make the men around them and would prefer not to have done with them. This is the rule that God himself in man, to keep him on track, no matter where it comes from and his roots are!
No one can deny the fact that everyone needsThe love and the need for urgent or affection, compassion, understanding, kindness and mercy. There is no single person on this earth who are not treated kindly pretty tough. There are a living person who does not want to understand. You must be crazy or perverted to want to be abused and beaten and treated harshly. This is not the world as abnormal if you have discomfort or pain as. No one likes, no matter who they are. They have a wayThe love in his life. You must have some sort of affection and closeness to someone. This can not be disputed is a healthy person, the feelings and emotions.
This was immediately after the statement about the Golden Rule. It is not true? How many people do you know that are actually full of the Golden Rule and treat people with love and kindness and respect, treating others as they want to live? Jesus said that there are few who find it!
Jesus had so much love and compassionfor people who do not refuse anyone who came to know him well! It does not even charge people for his services! It was the Good Shepherd who gave his life for the sheep. Not the mercenaries, which determines the sheep for his own life. Jesus said, except that those who lose their lives there, but whoever loses it for his sake shall find it.
This is the compassion that Jesus heals the sick, raise up the dead, cast out demons. Do you think you will ask how many devilsOutside? Like many people her healthy and raised from the dead? It does not mean that the whole Bible. He says that talking with you and tell you to enter into the joy of the Lord, or take from him that you do not know. Do not think whatever you are, you were working right, if not for love and compassionbut for another subject, do not do much for the Lord, and He will not count in your justice.
If you do not have talentYou can talk about. If you have a bad memory, to make mistakes, do not have any knowledge or shops are bad, or if you have a good, talented, post, are rich and famous and beautiful, will make no difference to Jesus demands the same standard everyone, whatever your denomination or religion. "If I can be increased, I will draw all men to me" "He that cometh to me I will not come out" "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one toothers, "has the same requirements, and to love thy neighbor as thyself, and God, above all, love. If after these two commandments nothing else to do but we never fall is always busy and do not want to enter in his kingdom.
There is only one way to go back on its HOT on the thermometer. It is Jesus 'warning' to follow in Revelation chapter two: "I have something against you, because you left your first love, remember.therefore from whence thou art fallen, repent and do the first works, or do you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place, where art thou repent. "
If you do not agree with the love and believe that the love of God is the answer to everything is because you can not believe in love, or God is not, however, if you think you can not. You can ask God to forgive all your sins and your past, and he will throw it all away. Asking GodForgiveness and Jesus as your savior by HIM into your heart, life, mind and soul, and ask him to forgive all your sins, as we forgive others their sins against you, you are a child of God But not all. If you do it with honesty and to pray to ask God for forgiveness, he really will forgive you. Then it's your turn to turn around and ask God what you do for him. What would you do for Jesus? Everything you ask? Then you should have no trouble makingfor anyone else who needs it. Jesus said that all the laws of Moses and the prophets!
Love can not lose and lose. Love wins now and forever! The whole world is looking for love. Will be there in you?
We shine with his love for those who need it? Words can be confusing, but love is not always clear. May you love God, a beacon of light and brilliance with the warmth and light of His love to those who need and want!
