Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the best-selling author of My Utmost for His Highest, Studies in the Sermon on the Mount is a grace-filled exposition of Matthew 5-7. Much has been written about these 3 chapters of the New Testament, but Chambers' insightful and theologically rich treatment of the text is both challenging and refreshing. “If Jesus is only a Teacher, then all He can do is to tantalize us by erecting a standard we cannot come anywhere near. But if we know Him first as Savior, by being born again from above, we know that He did not come to teach us only: He came to make us what He teaches we should be. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is having His way with us. The Sermon on the Mount must produce despair in the natural man; and that is the very thing Jesus means it to do, because immediately we get to despair we are willing to come to Jesus as paupers and to receive from Him. “Blessed are the poor in spirit”—that is the first principle of the Kingdom. So long as we have a conceited, self-righteous notion that we can do the thing if God will help us, God has to allow us to go on until we break the neck of our ignorance over some obstacle, then we are willing to come and receive from Him. The bedrock in Jesus Christ’s Kingdom is poverty, not possession; not decisions for Jesus Christ, but a sense of absolute futility—“I cannot begin to do it.” Then, says Jesus, “Blessed are you.” That is the entrance, and it does take us a long while to believe we are poor. The knowledge of our own poverty brings us to the moral frontier where Jesus Christ works.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the Sermon on the Mount N order to understand the Sermon on the Mount, it lis necessary to have the mind of the Preacher, and this knowledge can be gained by anyone who will receive the Holy Spirit (see Luke XI. 13, John XX. 22, Acts XIX. The Holy Ghost is the only expounder of the teachings of Jesus. The one abiding method of interpretation of the teachings of Jesus is the Spirit of Jesus in the heart of a believer applying His principles to the particular circum stances in which he is placed. Be renewed in the spirit of your mind, says Paul, that you may make out what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Beware of placing Our Lord as Teacher first instead of as Saviour. That tendency is prevalent to-day, and it is a' dangerous tendency. We must know Him first as Saviour before His teaching has any meaning for us, or before it has any meaning other than that of an ideal which leads to despair. Fancy coming to men and women with defective lives and defiled hearts and wrong main springs, and telling them to be pure in heart! What is the use of giving us an ideal we cannot possibly attain? We are happier without knowing it. If Jesus is only a Teacher, then all He can do is to tantalise us by erecting a standard we cannot come anywhere near. But if we know Him first as Saviour, by being born again from above, we know that He did not come to teach us only He came to make us what He teaches we should be. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is having His way with us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commentary on the Sermon on the Mount I still feel that I owe my dear Friend Rothe warm thanks for having urged me to put forth my exegetical powers in connection with this portion of the New Testament. Although I have no doubts as to the genuineness of the Gospel of John, I must confess that the spirit of Christ finds me most directly in the first three Gospels; and their interpretation has had peculiar attractions for me, because in them the Son of God, at once Divine and human, and the climax of a redemptive process of two thousand years, is presented in a tangible physical shape. The great task of the present age - a task at which men of very different vocations, and with very different aims, are labouring - is to understand the relation in which Christ stands to the form of religion embodied in the Old Testaments: avoiding two opposite errors; that, namely, of degrading Christianity to a mere internal phenomenon of Judaism; and that of representing Judaism as Christianity under a veil, and thus effecting as near an approximation of the two as possible. I am bound to confess that the further my studies have extended, the more clearly have I seen that the religion of the Old Testament and the Gospel constitute one Revelation, and the higher has been my consequent estimate of the loftiness and depth of the Jewish Economy. The present fresh revision of my Commentary on the Sermon on the Mount has contributed to this result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Sermon on the Mount and Human Flourishing written by Jonathan T. Pennington and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sermon on the Mount, one of the most influential portions of the Bible, is the most studied and commented upon portion of the Christian Scriptures. Every Christian generation turns to it for insight and guidance. In this volume, a recognized expert on the Gospels shows that the Sermon on the Mount offers a clear window into understanding God's work in Christ. Jonathan Pennington provides a historical, theological, and literary commentary on the Sermon and explains how this text offers insight into God's plan for human flourishing. As Pennington explores the literary dimensions and theological themes of this famous passage, he situates the Sermon in dialogue with the Jewish and Greek virtue traditions and the philosophical-theological question of human flourishing. He also relates the Sermon's theological themes to contemporary issues such as ethics, philosophy, and economics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sermon on the Mount: A Practical Exposition There is no plant in the spiritual garden of the Church of England which at the present moment needs more diligent watering and tending than the practical, devotional study of Holy Scripture. The extent to which spiritual sloth, or reaction against Protestant individualism, or the excuse of critical difficulties is allowed to minister to the neglect of this most necessary practice, is greatly to be deplored. It is surprising in how few parts of the Bible critical difficulties, be they what they may, need be any bar to its practical use.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sermon on the Mount: Its Literary Structure, and Didactic Purpose Teachers of biblical science are increasingly conscious of the need of a text-book of the higher criticism. This method is no longer an experiment. The New Testament, the Gospels above all, can be interpreted, as they have been in the past, without it; but the modern teacher who is ignorant on this score is justly considered incompetent. Baleful or beneficent, it must be understood. Moreover, the discourses of Jesus furnish a problem that nothing else has solved and to which these methods must inevitably be applied. No scholar has ever attempted the construction of a gospel harmony with out again and again being compelled to resort to expedients which do not represent the real meaning of his authorities.
