Matt 6:33 – The Lessons of Matthew
Intro: We are going
to look at three lessons we can learn from the book of Matthew.
Seek first the
1. Our first lesson
is based upon Jesus’ teaching from the Sermon on the Mount and the
2. The
Bible teaches the
Reveals that the believer is the temple of
the Holy Spirit. 1 Cor 6:19-20 Simply put
The believer is where the
Right now.
3. Paul taught the characteristics of the Kingdom are righteousness, peace and
joy.
You can be righteousness, which
is being right, true, genuine and living right before
God...
It is a positive action. It means
doing what is right, just, honest and true.
This
Is demonstrated in how we
think, talk, and live. It
shows up in our plans, priorities,
Attitudes and values.
4. Jesus says this is something we must be
seeking. It must be a top priority of our
Lives.
5 His kingdom is a spiritual kingdom that is in
our hearts. It is spiritual power that
Envelopes the believer. It is in and surrounds the believer. This is an incredible
Truth and gift.
6. Jesus is offering in this dispensation or
time period not only righteousness but peace
Within.
This is absence from strife and war.
The ability to joyful in the midst of
Chaos and conflict around you.
You can be in the midst of conflict and yet be
Peaceful.
Why? Because you know God is your
source, your help & defender,
Overcoming ability and victory. The Psalmist writes, “The joy of the Lord is
my
Strength.
7. Jesus stated through Matthew and the Sermon
on the Mount that seeking God’s
Kingdom and the righteousness it brings
creates a wonderful promise.
And all these things
will be added unto you.
1. The all things are the things Jesus talked
about before he said these words. Now
this
Requires us to read all of Matthew
5-6:32. Now time does allow us to do
this so I
Will highlight the major points briefly.
2. Jesus says, you will be blessed when you are meek,
hunger and thirst after
Righteousness, are merciful, pure in heart
and are a peacemaker. God will help you
in your mourning, and persecution. Matt 5:1-10
3. When falsely accused, gossiped about,
misunderstood and insulted because of Him.
Jesus says rejoice and be glad, for two reasons, your
have a great reward in heaven
Waiting for you and they did the same thing to the
prophets and believers before
You.
Matt 5:11-12.
4. You are salt and light and you know that
Jesus is the fulfillment of the law. You
Know calling a person names is wrong, to
settle wrongs quickly and pay your debts
Promptly.
Matt 5:17-26
5. You know that looking at a person in lust is
wrong & that divorce is only allowed
When a spouse has been unfaithful is some
manner. You keep your oaths, give
when it is in your ability and love your
enemies. Matt 5:27-28
6. You give to the needy, fast, store your
treasures in heaven and don’t worry.
Matt
6:1- 33
These are the things that are added unto you.
7. Jesus
cares about all people. He wants to
heal, set free and bring peace within. Let
Us this morning let Him.
Jesus is not only the
Messiah of the Jews but is the Savior of the world.
1. The book of Matthew was written to show Jesus
as the Messiah and His purpose was
To bring the
Human.
His redemption would link man and God together like never before.
2. There are many books in the O.T. that show
Christ’ coming to do away with sin but
Also coming in glory to destroy the
wicked. Matthew was inspired by the Holy
Spirit
To write his account to show the
difference.
3. As I close today. I wish to remind you to seek the
Heart, soul, mind and strength and the
righteousness it brings. When you do all
the
Resources of heaven are at your
disposal.
