Not only do every one of the beatitudes have their roots in Old Testament prophecies, the Sermon on the Mount is also the constitution of the coming Kingdom of Heaven.
Many times pastors and preachers will go to Matthew 5 to preach a message on the Sermon on the Mount, also known as the Beatitudes, and try to "bring out the poetry" of the passages and make a devotional application on the Christian life. That's all well and good if you like fluff, but if you are craving meat, especially some tasty red meat, you'll have to dig a tad deeper than just scratching the surface. The Sermon on the Mount, doctrinally, is the constitution of the coming Kingdom of Heaven over which King Jesus will rule for a thousand years from Jerusalem.
"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:19,20 (KJB)
On this episode of Rightly Dividing, we are digging deep in chapter 5 of the gospel of Matthew, to see exactly how the Millennial Reign of King Jesus will be run and operated from a legal perspective. Here in the U.S., we have our vaunted Constitution of the United States of America, and it shows you the principles on which this nation was founded, and how we are to conduct ourselves. The coming Kingdom of Heaven also has such a document, and it's called the Holy Bible in general, and Matthew 5 in particular. Not only do every one of the beatitudes have their roots in Old Testament prophecies, the Sermon on the Mount is also the constitution of the coming Kingdom of Heaven. Tonight we will break it all down for you, as well as showing you the marked differences between the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of God.
