Conclusion of the sermon on the mount

1. Conclusion of the Sermonon the Mount, Second Tour of
Galilee
Matt 7:24-27
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I
will liken him unto a wise man, which builthis house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not,
shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and
beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
“Hearer and doer”: The judgmentis not fire but wind and rain; the audience is
Jewish.
Jas 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the
twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving
your own selves.
The “house”, is the “house of Israel”.
Matt 10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matt 15:24 But he answeredand said, I am not sent but unto the lost
sheep of the house of Israel.
Matt 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
Acts 2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that
God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord
and Christ.
Acts 7:42 Then God turned, and gave them up to worshipthe host of
heaven; as it is written in the book of the prophets, O ye house of
Israel, have ye offered to me slain beasts and sacrifices by the space
of forty years in the wilderness?

2. Heb 8:8 For findingfault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come,
saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of
Israel and with the house of Judah:
Heb 8:10 For this is the covenantthat I will make with the house of
Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their
mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and
they shall be to me a people:
The believingremnantof Israel is the wise builder, and the Christ-rejecting
Israelite is the foolish builder.
Inspirationally:
They are alike in that-
1. They both heard.
2. They both saw the need.
3. They both were confidentthey would stand the test
4. They both were exposed to the testing.
They were differentin that-
1. They responded to the message differently.
2. The foundation they chose was different.
3. The results of the testing was different.
Matt 7
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people
were astonishedat his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one havingauthority, and not as the scribes.
Christ’s dogmatic teachingis set in contrast to the broadmindedscribes.
Jer 48:10 Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully,
and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood.
Matt 23:8-10 8 But be not ye calledRabbi: for one is your Master,
even Christ; and all ye are brethren.

3. 9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father,
which is in heaven.
10 Neither be ye calledmasters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
Prov 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice:
but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Ezek. 21:3;
22:26
This “Sermon on the Mount” sums up the law and lays down the principles
of the millennial kingdomto come. It is nowhere given in the Bible as a
plan of salvation for anyone in the “Church-Age”. Jesus chose a successor
to give the “Church-Age” doctrine through.
Acts 9:15-16 15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a
chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and
kings, and the children of Israel:
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's
sake.
Acts 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee,
that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and
shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
Rom 11:13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle
of the Gentiles,I magnify mine office:
Rom 15:16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christto the
Gentiles,ministeringthe gospel of God, that the offeringup of the
Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctifiedby the Holy Ghost.
1Cor 11:23 For I have receivedof the Lord that which also I delivered
unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was
betrayed took bread:
Gal 1:12 For I neither receivedit of man, neither was I taught it, but
by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Eph 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the
mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,

4. 1Tim 1:12 And I thank ChristJesus our Lord, who hath enabledme,
for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
1Tim 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingabundantwith
faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1Tim 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtainedmercy, that in me first
Jesus Christmight shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them
which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.

preachedunto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preachedunto
you, unless ye have believedin vain.

Christ died for our sins accordingto the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day accordingto
the scriptures: KJV

11 And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city calledNain;
and many of his disciples went with him, and much people.
12 Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a
dead man carriedout, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow:
and much people of the city was with her.
13 And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto
her, Weep not.
14 And he came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still.
And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.

6. 15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he deliveredhim
to his mother.
16 And there came a fear on all: and they glorifiedGod, saying, That a
great prophet is risen up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.
17 And this rumour of him went forth throughoutall Judaea, and
throughoutall the region round about.
Jesus goes from Capernaum(on the northern shoreof the Sea of Galilee) to the
village of Nain (located south east of Nazareth on the northern slope leading
down into the Valley of Megiddo).

Jerusalemunto Gaza, which is desert. KJV

going to be raised.
2. Jairus’ daughter- saved as a young person=don’thave as hard a time
learning to “live the new life”. Widow’s son- saved as a young man= had to
have help to get up and walking (Lk. 7:15). Lazarus- saved after adult= need
help getting out of your graveclothes (John 11:44)
