THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
AFTER A BRIEF
INTERPETATION
CHAPTER 1
Chapter 1, Verse1-17
Matthew mentions only men’s names because the women until the
coming of Christ did not play a significant role for the rebirth of mankind. From
the moment Virgin Mary gave birth to Christ the Savior the woman rose from the
lower level to the equal level of man. Today in the spiritual world woman have
a position as an advisor and assistant to man. The woman had the original sin
but after the birth of Christ became collaborator of God and to her husband.
Chapter
1, Verse 18
Now the birth of Christ was as follows: after His mother
Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with
child of the Holy Spirit.
When we say the Holy Spirit is vivifying,
we mean that by its self has the power to create life from O (zero). Christ was
born of the Holy Spirit which means the Spirit vivified Christ in the chaste
belly of Virgin Mary. Holy Spirit gives life to the entire universe. Holy
Spirit will fulfill, by the new disables of Christ, all promises; consequently
the light of Christ will enlighten the whole creation. The voice of God is
working to put in hands and in hearts of all Christians the gospel of Christ
and then with proper management to all nations.
Chapter 1, Verse 19
Then Joseph her husband, being a just
man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away
secretly.
Righteous is the man that every moment should
forgive his fellow man. We must know that the
righteous one is scarcely saved. Let’s remember that the righteousness of
men demands but God’s offers. Righteous man is the one who understands the
needs of others and with love helps them without having the intention to see
them beg for it.
Chapter 1, Verse 20-21
But while he thought about these things,
behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying. “Joseph, son of
David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is
conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bring forth a Son, and
you shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from the sin”.
Angels are ministering spirits sent forth
to minister for those who will inherit salvation. (Hebrews 1:14). In
the Old Testament, Exodus 23: 20-23 says: Behold,
I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring
you into the place which I have prepared. Be on your guard before him and obey
his voice; do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon your
transgression, since My name is in him. But if you truly obey his voice and do
all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to
your adversaries. For My angel will go before you........
CHAPTER
2
Chapter 2, Verse 2
Where is He who has been born King of
Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.
If the star was a vision it couldn’t be seen (as a natural star) by the
three men in different places. God talks variously to man and to mankind. To
the wise men God talked through the stars. The wise men were astronomers. When
there is good will God talks variously to man. We must look for God with
patience and perseverance and to be
sure we will meet Him soon or late.
Chapter 2, Verse 3
When Herod the king heard this, he was
troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
Agitation comes due to lack of purification
and sanctification. The secular lifestyle presents many riots and pettiness,
because it’s governed by demons. Only God can protect us from the demons of
agitation, egotism and jealousy. Herod suffered from agitation and this led him
to slaughter thousands of infants. There is also a spiritual trouble which
comes with the presents of God but this brings repentance, rebirth, devotion
and dedication, at the end brings salvation of the soul and the physical
body.
Chapter 2, Verse 13
Now when they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared
to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up! Take the Child and his mother and flee
to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for
the Child to destroy Him”.
Until God take care and
lead by the Holy Spirit His faithful child, the angel is obliged to guard him
variously. In this moment God inform Joseph by a dream. This dream had
prophesied by the prophet Hosea about seven hundred years before. And out of Egypt I called my son. (Hosea
11:1)
Chapter 2, Verse 16
Then
when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very angered,
and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its
vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time he had determined
from the magi.
This verse is teaching us
about the terrible demon of jealousy, the inconsiderate passion of jealousy
tears up love, establishes among the people the disgrace of envy for trivial
reasons and sometimes without any reason. Depending on the amount of envy that
comes from jealousy man wants the head of the other on a plate.
Chapter 2, Verse 19-23
But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in
a dream to Joseph in Egypt, 20“ Get up,
take the child and His mother, and go in to the land of Israel; for those who
sought the Child’s life are dead. 21” So
Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. 22But when he heard that Archelaus was
reigning over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there.
Then after being warned by God in a dream, he left for the region of Galilee,
23 and came and lived in a city called Nazareth. This was to fulfill what was
spoken through the prophets: “He shall be called Nazarene.”
The salvation of Christ (as a child)
depended of His destiny as He later said in the gospel of John (7:6) My time has not yet come, but your time is
always ready. In the case of Joseph we learn that the obedience to God’s
command through the angel makes us vessels of honor, in fact God honors us in
front of thousands of angels and saints. Confidence to God is indispensable for
the spiritual edification, because God in this particular case unfolds and
provides all the aspects of the gospel and the power of its application. This
is the ideal point of a believer.
CHAPTER 3
Chapter 3, Verse 2
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is
at hand.”
Repent means to feel sorry to regret or to be
conscience-stricken about a past action or attitude or deed have done it in the
time of my ignorance which led me to an impasse. After the sincere repentance
starts the establishment of the kingdom of God within us, it will take time.
The angels of the Lord will help us to purify our selves, time is relevant to
our impurity, but when we succeed to cleanse our selves then the king of
universe comes and abides in His real palace, at this time we understand that
the triune God is dwelling in us. We will have the virtues in a hundredfold we
will love all men friends or enemies we will have absolute peace in us as well
as with people. In addition we will do justice to the spiritual and material
aspects of life. We will distinguish humbleness and meekness to the fullest. Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit
the earth. Matthew 5:5. When the people of the Lord reach at this level of
the glory of God then they will not ask for help they will say it and will be
done. Consequently the sincere repentance brings closer the kingdom of heaven.
We must know that the entire spiritual project of salvation is based on
repentance.
Chapter 3, Verse 4
Now John himself had a garment of camel’s
hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild
honey.
The great love that John had to God and
the zeal to do His will led him to a non secularist way of living; he didn’t
care what to eat how to be dressed. I wish to explore the maximum of our time
to do the will of God focusing on our rebirth aspect. The more we approach God
the less attract us the world and its aspects. When we love something the time
is not enough for it, loving God it will give us free time to do His will. If
there is no love to God then we excuse ourselves with various reasons and we
comfort in them. If we continually study the wisdom of the Word of God striving
for the paradise and the eternal life the spiritual change will take place
without any particular effort. Hereby our joy will be great because we will be
heirs of God to an incorruptible infinite inheritance accompanying us
eternally.
Chapter 3, Verse 7
But when he saw
many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, “You
brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?”
Brood of vipers are all those who use the will of God for their own
benefit and personal glory. Let’s be careful, we didn’t put the gospel in our
hands to sell spirit or to claim ourselves God’s sent. We put the gospel in our
hands to study all beneficial elements to erect in us the kingdom of God, then
with the living faith and the appropriate sacrifice to work for the liberation
of the mankind from the bandage of sin corruption death and this I wish to all
children of God. If we repent sincerely, we will have the fruits of the Holy
Spirit the gifts and signs, if not we will have only words.
Chapter 3,
Verse 9
And do not suppose that you can say to
yourselves, “We have Abraham for our father” for I say to you that from these
stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham.
There are many men naming themselves Catholics, Protestants, Orthodox
and other, they believe they are chosen of God but they have ignorance of the
Word of God they do not know the will of God. Before two thousand years Jesus
Christ wrote with His blood and His sacrifice the Holy Gospel. If they have believed
His presence they could work with seriousness responsibility and love so today
people should have unity love and spiritual completeness, since we don’t have
them we remain in our sins.
Chapter 3,
Verse 10
The axe is
already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear
good fruit cut down and thrown into the fire.
The mattock (axe) is to cultivate the fruit trees but also to uproot the
barren trees. The axe is the evil that is always around us (as educator) to
deify us or to exterminate.
Chapter 3,
Verse 11
As for me, I
baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is
mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you
with the Holy Spirit and fire.
The water baptism unite us with God,
the baptism in the Holy Spirit makes us gods.
Chapter 3,
Verse 12
“His
winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His threshing
floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He will burn up the
chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Threshing floor is men societies
from all nations on the earth Jesus brought a social system of eternal life
with incorruptible values for those who will accept Him, for the rest it is
well known there are punishments.
Chapter 3, Verse
15
But Jesus
answering said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting
for us to fulfill all righteousness.”Then he permitted Him.
The baptism of Christ was not
necessary in His life; it was designed to help us understand that we all must
respect the religious conscience and the freedom of our brother, also not to
offend the spiritual level of the brothers who are relying on some kind of
ritualism or doctrine. Respect to the spiritual principals is the fascinate
wisdom of God, but we must not hide our faith. The application of the word of
God in our life through the noble emulation it is wisdom of God. Unfortunately,
today socialism possesses man and rely faith on stereotypes interest and
personal ambitions. John had the need to be baptized by Christ. Man is higher
than Sabbath let’s not subjugating to Sabbath. Fulfill all righteousness is to
respect others earlier destiny or any destiny given by God.
Chapter 3, Verse 17
And behold, a
voice out of the heavens said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am
well-pleased.”
The voice it was the real voice of
living God calling Jesus His beloved Son in whom he was pleased. Now with us,
if we want to please God the Father we must apply all His commandments to our
life. We start with the study of the word of God then we dedicate time into our
sanctuary to conceive and comprehend the presence of the Holy God, praying in
crashed heart to reach the throne of God. To have faith and trust that all
things work together for good to those who love God.
CHAPTER 4
Chapter 4, verse 1
Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
Wilderness was the best natural
environment for Christ to be tested, it was His sanctuary.
Chapter 4,
verse 2
And after He had
fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry.
Fasting is a method of releasing
ourselves of a habit or dependence. It is also a way to create another system
of thinking to our lives.
Chapter 4, Verse
3
And the
tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these
stones become bread.
Jesus has believed, because Father God said it, you are the Son of God,
from now and on man is not a servant is not any more a slave to God but a son. The voice of God call us sons and daughters,
all Christians must not doubt, Holy God is our father.
Chapter 4, Verse
4
But he
answered and said, “It is written,’ Man shall not live on bread alone, but on
every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’”
The word that proceeds of the mouth of
God is the voice of the living God with the living faith aiming the eternal
life the purity the holiness.
Chapter 4,
Verse 5-6
Then the
devil took Him into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the
temple, and said to Him, 6 “If you are Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it
is written, He will command His angels concerning You”, and “on their hands
they will bear you up. So that you will not strike your foot against a
stone.’”
On the pinnacle of the temple goes every man to be tempted. There is not
temptation that Jesus went through and we will go through, to be acquainted
with it. We need to have the sensors of our mind trained so when we come to the
test to handle it with wisdom. An egoist (man) who does not know Christ will
act egoistically and the result will be deadly.
Chapter 4,
Verse 8-9-10
Again, the
devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the
world and their glory; 9 and he said to Him, All these things I will give to
You, if You will go down and worship me. 10” Then Jesus said to him, “Go Satan!
For it is written you shall worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.”
World’s history has presented many
kings, marshals, rulers and leaders who fallen to this snare. For all those
leaders the entrapment was that they became fighters and slaughters. Jesus
declines the deceiver and became the first born Son of God, the leader of life
the ruler God’s people. Jesus with the wisdom of God used the right verse at
the exact time and repulsed the teaser. Knowledge of the word of God will
strengthen us to do as Jesus did.
Chapter 4,
verse 11
Then the
devil left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him.
Angels of God will come to serve us
when we will decide to apply the will of God in our lives. The angels will help
us unceasingly, to abolish and destroy him who has the power of death,
establishing the kingdom of God in us and around us.
Chapter
4, Verse 16
The
people who were sitting in darkness saw a great light, and those who were
sitting in the land and shadow of death, upon them a light dawned.
The people who sit in darkness are
the Christians who unfortunately today their lives depend on money and drugs,
as well as individual interests and personal ambitions. Those who have good
will, faith in God and love among them they will see the light; all those who
seek for wisdom and signs, God will lead them to His glory. Those who sit in
the region and shadow of death are all men believing in death as an invincible
power and inevitable event. Today the light of Christ came to our life. The light
is the life of Christ let’s imitate Him. The light is the light of love of
wisdom of humbleness of incorruptibility of the eternal life. I wish to
understand the invitation we have received it is from the living God Christ. The
invitation is for our individual sanctuary reading, studying and practicing the
word of God, it will pass us from the sin to sinless from the ignorance to wisdom from corruption to incorruptibility
from death to life.
Chapter 4, Verse 19
And he said to
them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
To spread the word of God is not a vocation it’s a duty. There are men
that named themselves preachers Sheppard or appointed by God but their main
occupation is fishing and flocking people for their own benefit.
Chapter 4, Verse
22
Immediately
they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
It will be obvious our spiritual maturity and our appearance will
inspire confidence when our words and deeds are directed by the gospel of
Christ. Let’s think about the appearance of Jesus, at His image the disciples
left everything behind and followed Him.
Chapter 4, Verse 23
Jesus was
going throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the
gospel of the kingdom and healing every kind of disease and every kind of
sickness among the people.
The gospel of kingdom (when
is preached) heals the soul and the body especially to those who suffer. With
the spiritual interest to the gospel of kingdom we can conceive and vivify our
body. Jesus said: and this gospel of the
kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations and
then the end will come. Matthew 24:14. This gospel of the kingdom has clear
targets. The first is, people of God will be governing by consistency. Jesus at
his prayer said: Now I am no longer in
the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep
through You name those who You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.
The Holy trinity, the three faces have appeared to the world working
differently, because they have a different deed to accomplish in the humanity,
although they are one. Likewise we have distinct personality and different
spiritual destiny but one spirit, this spirit will reveal the multifarious
activities of God in us and around us. The second is people of God must be
undivided. The fallacious method of reasoning the divisions it is not the will
of God. The principals for the unity are; love bears all things love believes
all things love hopes all things love accepts you as you are. The third is the
gospel of the kingdom will secure to the rebirth men living faith and living
faith will transform and transfigure our spirit and body. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die, do you believe
this? The gospel of the kingdom will abolish the physical death and will
erect the incorruptibility within us. The
kingdom of god is within you and the
violent take it by force. Today nearly all Christian churches believe the
kingdom of God is in heaven somewhere in the sky of course after death, this is
a gimmick, we believe the kingdom of heaven is at hand precisely must be
established within us. Jesus placed the first rock of the kingdom by healing
the disease casting out the demons resurrecting dead. We have to do the same
but first let’s resurrect God in us and then around us. Death is the
achievement of sin; for the wages of sin
is death. If a poisonous snake bites us we run to the hospital for an
antidote. For the sin there is an antidote it is the word of God and the voice
of God. If this gospel of heaven does not be preached and the sinless
incorruptible life does not reign on earth Jesus Christ is not coming back,
because it’s written; God said to His Son
sit at My right hand till I make your enemies Your footstool, the last enemy
that will destroyed is death. Let be done Amen.
Chapter 4,
Verse25
Large crowds
followed Him from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and from
beyond the Jordan.
The crowd is and presents spiritual
instability; it needs patience and persistence until be born again, without
rebirth crowd is dangerous. One day multitudes cry blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord and the other day
cry crucify Him crucify Him. Sciolism
of the crowd is worst of ignorance. We need to distinguish the mob around us
and to be careful, but love discovers manners and creates systems for the
salvation. If we have love, God’s love, we will gain people’s love and all
together with the power of Christ and under His instructions we will create the
spiritual rebirth and this will bring the kingdom of God within us, making us
at the image of the invisible God.
CHAPTER 5
Chapter 5,
Verse 3
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Poor is the one who knows a lot
succeeds in many but he feels like nothing in front of God’s wisdom. We must
continue to study to evolve and meliorate ourselves aiming the spiritual level
of Christ, who by the obedience to His Father became possessor of the
incorruptible eternal life. This is the fascinate wisdom of God and appears
with fruits gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Chapter 5, Verse 4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be
comforted.
Here it doesn’t mean for the loved ones but for the sin that works on
us. Those who mourn look at the innermost of themselves and every day upgrade
and rebirth into Godliness. At the end of the effort the gospel of Christ
replaces the mourning with ineffable joy of God.
Chapter 5,
verse 5
Blessed are the
gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
Lenity is fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Gentle is a man when does not get offended by others. Gentleness harmonizes the
function of our spiritual and physical body and our physical body is part of
the earth.
Chapter 5,
Verse 6
Blessed
are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Hunger and thirst are all those who
study the Old and New Testament therefore to decipher the mysteries of the
kingdom of heaven. To all those who hunger and thirst the wisdom of God working
and striving to discover the eternal life, they will be satisfied.
Chapter 5,
Verse 7
Blessed are
the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
A merciful man has a high position in
the spiritual world because he can forgive he can hag people from any dogma;
merciful man is presence of God in the world. If we learn to forgive we will be
forgiven when we love then we will be loved when we give mercy we will get
mercy. In the manner we judge will be judged, let’s judge with the mercy of
God.
Chapter 5,
Verse 8
Blessed are
the pure in hart, for they shall see God.
Purification and sanctification of
our hart and our brain will open the spiritual eyes to see God in us and on the
faces of all people on the earth as well as the presence of God on the planet
earth and the entire universe.
Chapter 5,
Verse 9
Blessed are
the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
The spiritual world is praising and
glorifying God: Glory to God in the
highest and on the earth peace, good will toward man. Peacemakers are those
who have peace with God and with the fellowman but first they have the wisdom
of God the wisdom of men and so they know their mission and their destination.
The large gap between God and man has bridged with the coming of Jesus. Man is
no longer a servant to God but a child. The Lord urges us to become peacemakers
therefore sons of God.
Chapter 5,
Verse 10
Blessed are
you when people insult you and persecute for the sake of righteousness, for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Righteousness is a big chapter among
us and in the kingdom of heaven. In the Old Testament righteous man is anyone
who believes and obeys to God’s commandments, in the New Testament is the one
who forgives. Jesus shows another chapter of righteousness. He respects the
destiny of John the Baptist also He forgave those who crucified Him. For us:
The righteousness of men demand the righteousness of God offers.
Chapter 5,
Verse 11
Blessed are
you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil
against you because of Me.
Persecution and accusation is the
deed of the evil, evil is an educator, let him do his job and as long as we
belong to Christ he unables to harm us.
Chapter 5
Verse 13,14,15,16
You are the
salt of the earth; but if the salt become tasteless, how can it be made salty
again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled
underfoot by men. 15You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot
be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the
lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 “Let your light
shine before men on such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify
your Father who is in heaven”.
We use salt for many gastronomic
delights but the right amount of salt relish the food we eat. Likewise the
virtues of the Holy God become a tasty spiritual food to the society as
corollary to glorify the name of God. When salt is too much in the food men
detest it, like too much of egoism or fanaticism. When the salt is little in
the food then the food becomes tasteless which means we have many mistakes and
few virtues. The city that rest on the hill are the virtues that reformed men’s
personality and we see the unfeigned love, the modesty, the living faith, the
peace, the wisdom in the way of thinking the healthy hospitality. Literally the
deeds of love must dominate our life; this is the city on the hill.
Chapter 5,
Verse 17, 18, 19
Do not think
that I came to abolish the law or the prophets; I did not come to abolish but
to fulfil. 18For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the
smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the law until all is accomplished.
19whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches
others to do same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever
keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
The law and the prophets are enough to
bring us up to the throne of God. The gift that should be offered to the altar
is the sanctification of our being of our inner world through the sacrifice, on
a personal level dedication, at a general level offering. With behavior we will
gain the interest of God. When God sees on us seriousness and love comes down
meet us and blesses us. Basically we give a living sacrifice pleasing God.
Living sacrifice is to put my body in the service of the Holy God. Thus I
should sacrifice the bad part of myself at the altar of Christ and to manifest
the good self to God and to people. The human brain is an altar which gives
through the senses fragrant aroma or stench.
Chapter 5,
Verse 20
For I say to
you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees,
you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Righteousness of the scribes and
Pharisees is the system of hypocrisy. Jesus was against the hypocritical action
of the Pharisees. Our righteousness must be forgiveness and offering to the need
of others.
Chapter 5,
Verse 22
Bu I
say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in
danger of the judgment; and whoever says to his brother, “Raca,” shall be in
danger of the court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,” shall be guilty enough to go
into the fiery hell.
The word (raca) is Syrian and has a contemptuous
meaning as (empty, void, vain, futile). God made man in his image and his
likeness.
Chapter 5, verse
24
Leave your
offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother and
then come and present you’re offering.
God has no need of gifts he is asking
from us to forgive and love each other.
Chapter 5,
Verse25, 26
Make friends
quickly with your opponent at law while you are with him on the way, so that
your opponent may not hand you over the judge and the judge to the officer and
you be thrown into prison. 26”Truly I say to you, you will not come out of
there until you have paid up the last cent.
The adversary is our bad self, our
conscience must inform for the fulfilment of God’s commandments, we have to
listen to our conscience and it is like a small god into us. Listening to our
conscience we might avoid events which are leading us to an impasse. The prison
is the mental impasse; it is wisdom of God listening to God.
Chapter 5,
Verse 27, 28
You have
heard that it was said, “You shall not commit adultery”, 28 but I say to you
that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed
adultery with her in his hart.
Marriage with the spirit of God and
temperance vivify the man and leads him to dedication then God increases the
spirituality and liberates the man from passions because passions cause
hormonal imbalance to the body and bring death. Paul said, but if they cannot
exercise self control let them marry. Adultery is a transgression; it needs
spiritual completeness and wisdom of God to avoid it. Basically when a couple
has rebirth into godliness passions and outside factors cannot affect them.
Chapter 5, verse 29
If your
right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is
better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body
to be thrown into hell.
Stumble
leads the soul and the body to perish. Woe
to him through whom the scandal comes, woe to him who gets scandalize. Both
are in a spiritual impasse because the wisdom of God says. Everything works for good for
those who love God. When we scandalize or get scandalized, it means
Christ is absent and sciolism governs our life. But when practicing the will of
God and scandalize others then it becomes a way of salvation to the soul and to
body to us and to our people.
Chapter
5, Verse 31, 32
It was said, “Whoever sends his wife
away, let him give her a certificate of divorce”, 32 but I say to you that
whoever divorce his wife for any reason except sexual immorality cause her to
commit adultery and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Separation comes when Christ is
not reign to our life. Today many couples get divorce, those who do not divorce
they remain two cohabitant enemies. We have to rebirth in Godliness, we have to
know that our freedom ends where other’s starts. Jesus Christ unites the
couples and corrects them spiritually to do the will of God. When there is no
God there is nagging, egoism, benefits, ambitions, deprivation of freedom,
complains, malice and many more, in other words there is the presence of evil.
The cause of separation is the spiritual no rebirth. Where separation or divorce has come, never
mind, we go ahead study from our mistakes creating and erecting a new start,
life goes on, looking back it doesn’t edify us, Jesus has mercy for us. Let’s
remake our life with Christ but not with our inabilities. Jesus said: the sons of this age marry and are given
marriage, but those who are consider worthy to attain to that age and the
resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage for they
cannot even die anymore because they are like angels and sons of God.
Chapter 5, Verse 37
‘But let your statement be, “Yes yes’
or “No no” anything beyond is of evil.
Not vows nor justifications and
excuses, the truth is the largest vow and let those who want to believe it or
not. Justifications and excuses hide lies. We don’t have anything to fear the
truth for us is the true, God knows the heart of every person and the reason
for every particular action.
Chapter 5, Verse 41
Whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.
This is a high element of the
unfeigned love. Make friends for
yourselves by unrighteous mammon. Let’s use the material factor to show our
love, giving is a virtue. Christ gave His life ransom for many and taught with
His life the kingdom of heaven.
Chapter 5, Verse 42
Give
to him who ask of you, and do not turn away from him who wants to borrow from
you.
If we borrow to borrow an
amount that can easily forget but not be exceeded in order to show them that we
are good and helpful.
Chapter 5, Verse 44
But I
say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.
Love for enemies means awareness
of God and knowledge of the fascinated wisdom of God. Enemies are those who
work out our own spiritual and physical salvation. By the way love them
(enemies) for they become an example to us so we can see the form of sin and to
avoid it. Our love to them works as a compass because it develops conditions of
rebirth in their lives, then our example will bring them closer to God. He who turns a sinner from the error of
his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude sins. Let us
become children of God and we will never regret it.
Chapter
5, Verse 48
Therefore
you are to be perfect; as you’re heavenly Father is perfect.
Perfect is Christ. Those students,
who follow him into their entire life under any circumstance shaping their
character godly, they will too become perfect. We have two helpers leading us
to spiritual perfection; the one is honesty and the other responsibility.
CHAPTER 6
Chapter
6, Verse 5, 6
When you pray, you are not to be like
the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the
street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have
their reward in full. 6 But you, when you pray go into your inner room, close
your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees
what is done in secret will reward you.
The hypocrites do not pray to God but
to people to get from them the thumbs up. Prayer in secret places is addressed
to God, the reason we are aware and it is through our own will and we are not
motivated by the people. Prayer is the key for the incorruptible immortal
life.
Chapter
6, Verse 7
And when
you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the gentiles do, for they
suppose that they will be heard for their many words.
Vain repetition reveals an
uneducated brain, that man prays not with awareness but by fear thus covering
his conscience, if we observe his life has nothing common of what he is saying,
he looks like a young child who recites a poem without knowing what it means.
Anyone who prays and uses meaningless repetition remains uneducated.
Chapter
6, Verse 10
Your kingdom
come. Your will be done, on earth as it is on heaven.
It is the order we give to ourselves
and to God with a view to submit to the will of God. When we say let there be
your will it is to say our will does not exists.
Chapter 6, Verse 13
And do
not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom
and the power and the glory forever.
The temptation is instantaneous; the
test can last from months to years. The temptation comes to awaken us
spiritually and show us that without God life is unpredictable. The test is
coming to ameliorate us also for our spiritual rebirth and show us how should
evolve in order to know our selves. After all let seek help from God focus on
the cause of the mistake and therefore not repeat it.
Chapter 6,
Verse 14, 15
For if you
forgive others for their transgression, your heavenly Father will also forgive
you. 15 but if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your
transgressions.
As much as we forgive the more we
will be forgiven, righteous man is the one who forgives throughout the
day.
Chapter 6,
Verse 16
Whoever you
fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their
appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I
say to you, they have their reward in full.
Fasting and abstinence are designed
to find our spiritual forces; these forces show us that life is not depending
on food and assets. Jesus said: Man does
not live on bread alone. Life does not consist of things we possessed. At
first the mechanism of life moves by food then performed by the Holy Spirit and
living faith. This kind does not go out
except by prayer and fasting. Let’s have abstinence and always to live with
every word proceeded by the Holy Spirit. Jesus said: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from
the mouth of God. When we have God in
our life we will see the logic to change, the food gets second place and the
word of God gives us health the spiritual health of Christ. Health exists in
our life when there is psycho-emotional psychological mental and biological
balance. Our health is not guaranteed if only our biological body is well but
when the psycho-emotional part is added by the wisdom of God. When the spirit
is sick it is a matter of time and the flesh will get sick.
Chapter 6,
Verse 19, 20
Do not store
up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where
thieves break in and steal. 20 but store up your selves’ treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or
steal.
Root of all evil is the love of
money. All the avaricious men must know that the first (man) creates and
accumulates, the second adds a little, but the third spends them all (great
spender).The rich cannot trust God because they have faith in the material element.
Let us be good stewards of the material and intellectual property that God has
given us to manage here on earth because we will give an account for improper
handling.
Chapter
6, Verse 24
No one can
serve two masters for either he will hate the one and love the other or he will
be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
The years in
which we live are not enough for us to develop the material and spiritual
goods. If we improve the material factor we will become like the rich fool man.
Luke 12: 20: But God said to him, “You fool! This very night your soul is
required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?” But if we look for the kingdom of heaven then
we will have plenty of time for the material like Abraham Joseph and many more.
Let seek for the spiritual property first and all others will be added. If we
born again we become good stewards if not we become inaccessible avaricious and
greedy asking money for every spiritual right we might have, misusing the
spiritual and material assets that God gave to manage. For the gospel of the
kingdom does not need money but God’s people in the image of Christ.
Chapter 6, Verse 25
For this
reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat
or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not
life more than food and the body more than clothing?
The day care comes one after the
other and it is a trap because it creates many obligations and steals our time. Look at the birds of the air that they do
not sow nor reap nor gather into barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not worth much more than they? Time is precious; it is wise to use
it for our rebirth.
Chapter 6,
Verse 32
For the
Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you
need all these things.
When we will understand that the
spiritual and material goods are given to be used for the glory of God and the
salvation of the mankind then we will know that we don’t need money to do the
will of God. It is obvious we cannot bay a good heart, or love, or peace, or
joy, or spiritual fruits and gifts with money but by practicing the will of
God.
Chapter
6, verse 33
But seek
first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added to
you.
Seeking for the kingdom of heaven
it doesn’t mean to create a private isolated group of men worshiping God under
men’s commandments calling all the rest unbelievers heretics perished. The
dragon (judgment) does not fit to the kingdom of heaven to (the kingdom of love).
CHAPTER 7
Chapter 7, Verse 1
Do not
judge so that you will not be judged.
There is no bigger demon than judgment.
Specifically when someone lives in judgment continually performs the worst
disaster in his physical body; judgment brings corruption to spirit and to
flesh. In a man the bigger the ego is the greater the judgment. In the book of
revelation is written. Then I heard a loud in heaven, saying, “Now
the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His
Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down he who
accuse them before our God day and night. If judgment gone salvation will
arrive love will come Christ will reign death will be abolished. We as (voice
of god) suggest, if someone wants to judge correctly a friend or enemy, must go
back in time and born to the same place, to have the same family, to have the
same neighbors the same teachers the same friends and live the same situations
and then he might judge properly. In as much as this thing is impossible to be
done it is better not to judge any possible judge it is wrong. Let’s be careful
there is a big difference between discern and correct ourselves judging the
behavior of others or judging and condemning others.
Chapter 7, Verse 3, 4, 5
“Why do you
look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that
is in your own eye?” 4 “Or how can you say to your brother, let me take the
speck out of your eye and behold the log is in your eye? You hypocrite fist
take the log out of your eye and then you will see clearly take the speck out
of your brother’s eye.
That it bothers us is something we
have in us, let’s cure myself first and then help others.
Chapter
7, Verse 7
Ask and it
will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and it will open to
you.
Ask and it will be given to you. We
have to ask from god to give us the time , the appetite and the intension to be
born again. If we do not have spiritual appetite we are like the man who is
sick and despaired. God provides everything, asking from God it means I know
that God is the source of life.
Seek and you will find. We have to seek
in the word of God to look for what we need to find what we need and what it
benefits us. Since we seek in the scriptures we will find all the solutions to
our problems and the elements to be reborn. Seeking in the word of god we will
have the answers for the spiritual laws for the hidden mysteries. The word of
God is the greatest gift to us.
Knock and it will open to you. If I get sick I call for healing, if I am
in prison I seek for the freedom, if I am in a maze I look for the exit, if a
tsunami is coming I run for a saved place. Sickness prison maze and tsunami all
these are the world of evil. Let’s knock god’s door Jesus is waiting for us.
Through the study prayer preaching the door to happiness and to eternal life
will open. Let’s insist on knocking with patience and persistence stay at our
privet sanctuary and the door to eternity will open for the children of God for
the brothers of Christ.
Chapter
7 Verse 13, 14
Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad
that leads to destruction, and there many who enter through it. 14 For the gate
is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there few who find
it.
The narrow gate is the
sanctification purification the prayer the spread and the awareness of God’s
will. It is also the unfeigned love to every man friend or foe. God is
accepting us as we are; let’s accept others as they are. The route of loss is
the sin in general the substantial removal of the living god. Staying far of
God it is hell it is perish. No rebirth is equal to corruption the death of
soul and the body. Our previous life makes the gate narrow. If we decide it,
we’re going to make it. Today what it helps is the healthy teaching. Health
teaching is contributed for free, by the voice of god, aiming the rebirth of
the mankind.
Chapter 7, Verse 15
Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but
inward are ravenous wolves.
False prophets are all those
who make fanatical with doctrines and ideas that reach extremities and wards.
What the gain is the soul of the believer to serve dry and profitless types of
interest and ambitions of their own. Be aware of the false prophets.
Chapter 7, Verse 23
And
then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me you who practice
lawlessness.
Lawless man are all those who
are not adopting human and divine laws. All activities for them are to create
personal gain and glory. If we all are ready to enroll the law and the will of
God, our life will be under the guidance of God’s wisdom as it should be. I
wish to conceive the meaning of the men’s law and God’s will.
Chapter 7, Verse 24
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them may
be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
The rock is Christ and leads
the believer to sanctification purification to rebirth. In the rebirth we
become like the rock Christ, let’s strive to achieve it. If we really be
devoted in short time we will reach the target our destination. Rock it means a
man who stays steady to his principles under any circumstance he might be. If
we erect on the rock (Christ) our spiritual edifice remains eternally.
Chapter 7, Verse 28, 29
When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His
teaching; 29 for He was teaching them as one having authority and not as their
scribes.
The authority of speech
comes when we fully apply the commandments of Christ in our lives. The
authority is determined by heaven wisdom which decodes all the mysteries in the
simplest way, leaving everyone speechless and amazed. The scribes does not
speak with authority because they repeat only what Christ did in words they
never practice it, but if they practice they perform men’s commandments. It is
a natural cause for the new Disciples of Christ to understand which teaching to
follow and with whom to communicate, in view of the fact to complete the
rebirth and the fulfilment of the perfection.
CHAPER 8
Chapter 8, Verse 8
But the
centurion said, “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof but just
say the word and my servant will be healed.
Sin is what prevents Christ to come
to our home. Sinless and practicing the will of God brings Christ into our
home. However God does not count sin (because he is love) to those who have
ignorance but to those who know and have repented. God is not hindered by
pettiness order to conciliation with man, for this reason God always gets
initiative and comes to our house God in many ways makes His presence because
He sees the hart but not the frivolous words that come from ignorance. Our body
is the temple of the Spirit of God in this body enters the glory and manifests
with incorruptible elements his presence within us.
Chapter 8,
Verse 9, 10
For I also
am a man under authority with soldiers under me; and I say to this one “Go” and
he goes and to other “Come” and he comes and to my slave “Do this” and does
it.
For the development of mankind
God created; Angels, Cherubim, Seraphim, Archangels, Authorities, Principals,
Titles, Sovereigns, Thrones. All these spiritual entities (beings) are working
with the men for the men under the guidance of God. The word (speech) is the
superior power of God offered to man. The centurion although he was a gentile
he had conceived the power of the word, Jesus was marveled of this because God
has no partiality and reveals to his children according to the pure hart of
each one.
Chapter 8,
Verse 11, 12, 13
“I say to
you that many will come from east and west and recline at the table with
Abraham Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven; 12 but the sons of the
kingdom will be cast out into the outer darkness; in that place will be weeping
and gnashing of teeth. 13 and Jesus said to the centurion, “Go it shall be done
for you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed that very
moment.
In the begging Jewish where the
chosen people of God, God’s concession. Jewish did not accept Jesus as the
Messiah and now wander astray basing their lives on the material sector, like
many others. People, name them Christians, do not apply in their lives the
substance of the gospel and rest in dry formalism believing that they leave in
the kingdom. Since God is incorruptible and immortal life but we do not leave
the incorruptible life so we are outside of the kingdom. God is God of living
but not of dead; indeed we keep the imperfect knowledge and intellectual
naiveté to search for Him in the afterlife. This believes is a fallacy. The
faith that brings God inside us and vivifies the body is the healthy teaching
of the scriptures. What is the benefit when churches are filled with people who
have no love no gifts no life, although they say, we are people of God, they
are out of the kingdom. This happened to the Jews, believing that Jesus was not
from God, crucified Him and kept the formalism.
Chapter 8, Verse 15, 16, 17
He touched her hand and the fever left her
and she got up and waited on Him. 16 When evening came they brought to Him many
who where demon-possessed and cast out the spirits with a word and healed all
who were ill. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the
prophet; “He himself took our infirmities and carried away our diseases.”
Healing resurrecting and
casting out demons where the deeds of Jesus. He was practicing verse by verse
the word of God; His destiny was to fulfill them all and to reveal the real
Father God but not a man made God. He offered everything for free without any
exploitation of the innocent people.
Chapter 8, Verse 19, 20
Then a scribe came and said to Him “Teacher I will follow You wherever
You go.” 20 Jesus said to him “the foxes
have holes and the birds of the air nests but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay
His head.”
Who dedicates or devotes his
life to Christ creates new life new family of new brother new friend new
spiritual property. Once a man had devoted to God, after a while he inherited a
property urgently he started to liquidate and give it away to the poor. Someone
said to him, what are doing we all are seeking to have assets property and you
donate it, and the devoted man replied, when I devoted to God I said from now
on I am dead for the world and I live only for God how can I be resurrected and
go back to secularist interests. Jesus was dedicated and devoted to Father God.
Relevant to dedication and devotion are the fruits the gifts and the destiny to
the kingdom of God.
Chapter 8, Verse 21, 22
Another of the disciples said to Him “Lord
permit me first to go and bury my father.” 22 But Jesus said to him “Follow Me and allow
the dead bury their own dead.”
Allowed to suggest that those who
bury the dead are all dead, but if, the future dead, decide to born again the
sin the corruption the death will not prevail against them. For a rational man
who will conceive the will of God abandoning the present system of life, which leads
to an impasse, adopting the wisdom of God will defeat death. Let the dead bury
their own dead.
Chapter 8, Verse 24
And
behold there arose a great storm on the sea so that the boat was being covered
with the waves; but Jesus Himself was asleep.
In the absence of Jesus Christ the serenity
and calmness turns into confusion and agitation. The waves are the problems in
our live, when the king of the peace (Jesus) comes; the waves (problems) turn
to calmness. Our ignorance creates the wins and the waves in us and to our
environment. Jesus carried the cross in peace because he is the greatest peace
maker on earth. With God`s wisdom peace and dignity let`s confront the problems
of life and Christ is beside us and leads us to the port of eternal life.
CHAPTER 9
Chapter 9, Verse 2
And they
brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed.
Faith is the driving force of
everything but there are two kinds of faith the shadow and the living faith. We
have the shadow faith in which Christians today are complacent with no effect
basing their lives on the money and drugs. The living faith is the faith that
God wants and make man god. With the living faith man gets rebirth and elevates
at the level of a god, but faith must work through love other wise man turns to
evil without realizing it even though invoking the name of God.
Chapter
9 Verse 4, 5, 6
And Jesus
knowing their thoughts said, “Why are you thinking evil in your hearts? 5
“which is easier to say ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ’Get up and walk’?
6 “But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to
forgive sins” then He said to the paralytic, “Get up pick up your bed and go
home.”
When there is sin in man’s life the
result is the dead end. Sin manifests spiritual littleness, pain, disease,
corruption and death. God through the sincere repentance forgives the sinner
and the wrong way of living, voluntarily or involuntarily chosen, man gets
healed, the health returns with well-being and joy. Since Jesus was forgiving
sins instantly healing was occurred to the spirit and the body. We must pay
attention when we forgive the sins and the problem remains we have to change
the way that we approach God. Jesus said what I do you can do, even if we do
not succeed it is better not to perform spectacular spiritual actions
persuading our fellowmen that we have powers.
Chapter 9,
verse 12, 13
But when
Jesus heard this he said “it is not those who are healthy who need a physician
but those who are sick. 13 But go and learn what it means: “I desire compassion
and not sacrifice’, for I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.”
Many men try to justify their
misbehaviour and sin by offering gifts to persons and temples, God is not
pleased in these sacrifices. The only sacrifice that God is asking from us is
mercy for others and forgives our debts as we forgive our debtors. The deeds of
love and the sacrifice of forgiveness will bring us to heaven.
Chapter
9, Verse 15
And Jesus
said to them, “The attendance of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the
bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom
is taken away from them and then they will fast.
As Jesus said it, after his ascension
the disciples start the ritualism fasting and keeping formalities.
Chapter 9, Verse 16, 17
“But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth
on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment and a worse tear
results. 17 “ Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the
wineskins burst, and the wine pours out and the wineskins are ruined; but they
put new wine into fresh wineskins, and both are preserved.”
The man who does not evolve is
dangerous for himself and for others. Faith is needed, but willingness for
evolution development progress and melioration are also significant factors for
the believers.
Chapter 9, Verse 22
But Jesus turning and seeing her said,
“Daughter, take courage your faith has made you well.” At once the woman was
made well.
The living faith of the deeds will lead
us to the throne of God; the shadow faith will lead us to perish. The living
faith increases with many years spiritual struggle. The living faith with the
healthy doctrine exists in the word of God and in the spiritual property of the
voice of god and will ascent us to the heaven. Only by the sincere repentance
and rebirth the living faith will start to work within us the indestructible
life. The indestructible life is already within us but is waiting the Holy
Spirit to reactivate so the word of God and our will to produce the
imperishable eternal life.
Chapter 9, Verse 24, 25
He said,
“Leave; for the girl has not died, but is asleep.” And they began laughing at
him. 25But when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and took her by the
hand and the girl got up.
Death is a kind of sleep and sleep is
a kind of death, but the unbelief of man is against the presence of God. When
the crowd of unbelievers was put outside, the glory of God resurrected the
girl. Today unbelievers of God believe
in death.
Chapter
9, Verse 33
After the
demon cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed, and where
saying. “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”
Throughout the centuries marveled
multitudes come and go admiring and wondering but has not change anything in
their lives. Unfortunately people are remaining as multitude and mob, one day
shout hosanna and the other screamed crucify him. Have the authorities’ part of
responsibility? Or each one of us has the responsibility? Jesus said I am not
of this world, where I go you cannot come.
Chapter 9 Verse 34
But the
Pharisees were saying, “He casts out the demons by the ruler of the
demons.”
It easy to despise what you cannot
get. For whatever you judge another you condemn yourself.
Chapter 9 Verse 35
Then Jesus went about all the cities and
villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the
kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
The gospel of the kingdom will obtain
health of the body and soul. In fact, for those accepted the gospel of the
kingdom slowly will heal themselves. Since today the gospel is preached and
people are not cured goes to say that the spiritual leaders are not preaching the
gospel of life but other which has the power to drive the leaders to personal
ambitions and interests as well as the people to ignorance. The gospel of the kingdom has four phases.
The first phase is: we must not for any reason to be divided, since we
have the same God father. Division is the deed of evil caused by accusations
and judgment to our brothers in front of God and men day and night.
The second phase of the gospel of the kingdom is the consistence. We
will respect the intellectual habits of our fellowman and to govern us
coherence to the basic elements of the gospel. Holy Father keep through your name those whom you have given Me, that
they may be one as we are. We should find elements in the scriptures that unite
us without eliminating our personality.
The third phase of the gospel of kingdom is the integral. This gospel
does not reject life by life and does not transfer back in heaven the kingdom of
God while His
promise is to become the will and on earth.
The fourth phase is what unites all previous as Christians need to have
all the above.
Chapter
9, Verse 37, 38
Then He
said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38
therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his
harvest.”
The Lord asks for volunteer workers
but not under waged Heads. The Lord will gather His laborers under His spirit
to collaborate for this harvest. Harvest is this life if we collaborate with
Christ we will inherit the kingdom of heaven today and forever.
CHAPTER 10
Chapter 10, Verse 1
Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean
spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of
sickness.
The powers are always there given
by God. What we need is to become Disciples of Christ so our power and our
authority to act with love toward interest of love of God and humanity. A grate
authority is to be ideal man with God’s principles so this authority does not
lose value turning into egoism. The way to study authority, is to keep within
us the virtue of the virtues humbleness, God will fill us with fruits of the
Holy Spirit. Only those who chose God will gain authority. Anyone with
maliciousness who grabbed authority will find himself in spiritual impasse, at
the end he will be perishing, unfortunately he will hear: go away the workers of iniquity. I wish not to be done to us. I
want us to know that the greatest sin is to pretend one’s shepherd master envoy
and exploit the ignorance and imperfect knowledge of others. Sadly this is
happening today in a very large scale. May God bring His own people in order to
shape our own world to an earthy paradise?
Chapter 10, Verse 6
But rather go to the lost sheep of
the house of Israel.
The lost sheep is all people today who got a
religion without being aware of it, or all these who are not acquainted with God
and His Son as well as the Holy Spirit with celestial elements that appears.
There are many lost sheep among us; in fact we were lost sheep for long time.
So people who do not know God remain orphan. Thank God for the invitation we
receive to become His children, to be acquainted with the voice of God.
Chapter 10, Verse 8
Heal the sick, raise the
dead, and cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you receive, freely
give.
For those
who will accept Christ and His teaching will get healed. Through Jesus Christ a
substantial healing will take place in our spirit, it is something we really
need it. The rebirth cures our souls and our bodies, it takes time, and this
effort needs patience and persistence. We have to please God with our behavior and
He will give healing to us and to our brothers.
Chapter 10, Verse 9,
10
“Do not acquire gold, or
silver, or copper for your money belts, 10or a bag for your journey, or even to
coats, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker is worthy of his support.”
In the world today money is the
priority of life. It is a deed of love when the money management is for the
glory of God, salvation and reborn of our fellowman. According to our freedom
of choice we will work and participate the deeds of offering, those who have in
abundance given to those who lack.
Chapter 10, Verse 11, 12,
13
“And whatever city or
village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay at his house until you
live that city. 12 As you enter the house give it your greeting.” 13 “If the
house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take
back your blessing of peace.
The elects are the worthy to know
the mysteries of the kingdom of Christ in order to adopt them. The inquiry is
conducted and revealed by the impeccable example how they accept the messenger
of God. Unworthy are all those who do not apply the word of God and those who
have the stubbornness theory --- even you convince me I will not be convinced.
Worthy is the one who study pray preaches with love the will of God, also
observes in detail and corrects himself therefore to be born again.
Chapter 10, Verse 14,
15
“Whoever does not receive
you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the
dust off your feet. 15 truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the
land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment than for that city.”
The dust represents all the
conversation and discussions we might have with persons who are prisoners of
their own mentality, jailed to their own theories of vanity.
Chapter 10, Verse 16
“Behold, I send you out as
sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and innocent as
doves.”
When man has ignorance of God’s
will behaves like a wolf who may find that good mangling around in order to
save his hunger. To exercise caution until the man be born again so that will behave
with understanding and love.
Care should be taken not to give the Holy to dogs and turn to us and
mangling.
Chapter 10 Verse 21
“Brother will betray brother to
death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and
cause them to be put to death.
The spiritual jealousy and the
imperfect knowledge is the driving force that unwittingly leads us and our
brothers to death. We should watch carefully the angel of light who through
jealousy acts within us and around us. There is no need of jealousy in our lives.
We must understand that the progress of our brothers in any field will help us,
because they will share with us the blessing of God. Be aware of him who has
jealousy, so we should not cause the increase of jealousy in him and then we
might become target for revenge.
Chapter 10, Verse 24
“A disciple is not above his
teacher, nor a slave above his master.”
The spiritual progress comes with
humbleness with love with noble emulation. God knows the intention and edifies
His children according to the destiny and dedication on what we ask for.
Chapter 10 Verse 28
“Do not fear those who
kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able
to destroy both soul and body in hell.”
The world history has many
examples that authority in hands of perverted minded men had caused wards
massacres disasters, but the destruction of the soul takes place in the
everyday life in the family at the schools in a small or big society. The
theories about men’s made morals, men’s made systems of corruption, men’s made
theories of vanity, men’s made religions are those who defile and destroy the
soul and the physical body.
Chapter 10, Verse 32, 33
“Therefore everyone who
confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in
heaven. 33 but whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My
Father who is in heaven.”
Through the centuries these verses
had many ways of interpretation, practicing and preaching. Today Jesus is revealing
other ways of confession we know Jesus is the truth the way and the life. Since
we express our thoughts using the truth in our speech in our words we confess
Jesus and we externalize the God who abides within us. Denying Jesus is when we
use lies, we are confessing the father of lie, a very common behavior of
mankind.
Chapter 10, Verse 34
“Do not think that I came to
bring peace on earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
This verse comes to a contradiction with
the verse; Matthew 5:9 Bless are the peacemakers.....It takes time and
dedication to understand when the Son of God becomes sword in our lips.
Chapter 10, Verse 35
“For I came to set a man against his father and
a daughter against her mother and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
Daughter-in-law against her
mother-in-law is not a rare phenomenon, when there is exploitation of children
to parents or from parents to children then the word of God (Jesus) applies
righteousness.
Chapter 10,
Verse 36, 37
“And a man’s enemies will be the
members of his household.” 37 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is
not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy
of Me.
We know among couples or families
sometimes there is oppression manipulation and exploitation in a nutshell
co-habitant enemies. Jesus said: but
rather fear him who is able to destroy both the soul and the body. The
absence of freedom of choice of self confidence of the freedom of believe lead
us to slavery. Jesus is the savior because He is the way to the freedom of all
evil spirits of all evil men.
Chapter 10, Verse 38
“He who does not take his cross
and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.”
The wooden cross it was for those
days, the small metallic ornament cross is for today but the mental cross it will
exist till man will be born again in Christ. A totally reborn man is worthy of
Christ.
Chapter 10, Verse 39
“He who has found his life will
lose it and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.”
Dedication, God is asking from
all of us, to sacrifice this small sinful life so then to gain the other
sinless incorruptible eternal life. I believe is worth it to strive through the
rebirth and I am sure after such a decision God nothing will deny us, moreover,
the life for me begins after the rebirth.
Chapter 10, Verse 40, 41
“He who receives you receives
Me, and he who receives Me receives him who sent Me. 41He who receives a
prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he who
receives a righteous man in the name of righteous man shall receive a righteous
man’s reward.”
The emissary is known from the long
struggle that is conducted for the glory of God and the salvation of the world.
Sent is the one who bears the genuine teaching of Christ who heals reborn and
vitalize man particularly the young Disciples of Christ. God’s sent is the one
who matters for the revival of God’s people and especially for the flock that
God gave him, to work with sacrifice day and night. Envoy is the one who is not
interesting for titles and honors. Emissary is the one who works to animate the
man and the mankind without partiality sacrificing everything.
Chapter 10, Verse 42
“And whoever in the name of a disciple gives
to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink; truly I say to
you, he shall not lose his reward.”
He who does
not lose his reward is the one who shares whether spiritual or material with
the view to the glory of God and the salvation of the world.
CHAPTER
11
Chapter 11, verse 3
And said to Him, “Are You the Expected
One, or shall we look for someone else?”
Are you the coming one or do we look for another?
This question became a snare to John the Baptist. Today for us there are other
questions. Is he a person sent by god? Should we listen to him? Who is this
man? To avoid this trap, which is placed by god for the sly foxes, we must,
circumstantially, study and practice the word of God, aiming to a totally born
again stage of our spirituality. The dedication, the blameless life, the
unfeigned love, the unstained behavior, will become an approval example of who
is the coming one in the name of God. Indeed, the highlight is that, this man
does not lose his faith, does not abandon the struggle under any circumstances,
facing anything as God’s will. An envoy is not the one who makes good speeches,
but the one whom under various temptations, with scrupulous veracity, continues
to fulfill his mission. For an envoy the will of God is the highest priority. All
other issues are secondary in his life.
Chapter 11, Verse 6
“And blesses is who
does not take offense at Me.”
And you do not lead us to temptation. The temptation has effect on
a non reborn man. If we get offended and lose our inner peace then we need to
work on our spiritual issue. But if we can cover other’s mistakes then we have
reached the level of divinity. Admittedly, the one who scandalize and the one
who gets offended are in the same fate.
Chapter 11, Verse
11, 12
“Truly I say to you, among
those born of woman there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist!
Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” 12“From
the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence,
and violent men take it by force.”
The least in the kingdom of heaven
is the one that today follows God’s will, practice the word of God, abolish the
sin and enters to incorruptible substance of deity.
Chapter
11, Verse 18, 19
“For John came neither
eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon!” 19 “The Son of Man came
eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a gluttonous man and drunkard, a
friend of tax collectors and sinners! Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”
Vindication by god has nothing to do
with the judgment of men. Sadly for those who know only to judge, to criticize
and accuse others, justifying only themselves. They are worthy not to see the
kingdom of heaven.
Chapter 11, Verse 25,
26, 27
At that time Jesus said, “I
praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things
from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. 26 “Yes,
Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.” 27 “All things have be
handed over to Me by My Father and no one knows the Son except the Father nor
does anyone know the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son wills to
reveal Him.”
If we give a look to Jesus
Christ’s disciples we see them simple ordinary men. There were not high
educated or great and dreadful upper class people. God picks simple unknown
people for Him to make them famous and wise. For the worldly important men God
has another plan to serve Him.
Chapter 11, Verse 28, 29,
30
“Come to Me, all who are weary
and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” 29 “Take My yoke upon you and learn
from me for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your
souls.” 30 “For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Anyone who wants to rest must
implement the commandments of God, the wisdom of God, the mercy, the living
faith, the rebirth, to form a character and to shape a personality filled with
the spirit of God. The wisdom of God creates humbleness the humbleness attracts
the glory of God the glory of God is the salvation of the world. Let’s know that he dares to win.
CHAPTER 12
Chapter 12, Verse 2
But when the Pharisees saw
this they said to Him, “Look, Your disciples do what is not lawful to do on
Sabbath.”
Moses named Sabbath the seventh
day of the week, day of the Lord, the day that man must glorify God, but not
criticizes and condemns each other.
Chapter 12, Verse 7
“But if you had known what
this means, I desire compassion, and not a sacrifice, you would not have
condemned the innocent.
God desires mercy and not sacrifice;
this is the mental healing we all need. We have to forgive our friends and our
enemies. When Peter asked Jesus, how many times I have to forgive my brother
seven times? Jesus replies I don’t say to
you up to seven times but up to seventy times seven. The sacrifice of
over-protecting, of over-supporting, of over-serving, of over-loving is
weakness and partiality.
Chapter 12, Verse 17,
18, 19, 20, 21
This was to fulfill what
was spoken through Isaiah the prophet; 18 “Behold, My servant whom I have
chosen; I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim justice to the
gentiles.” 19 “He will not quarrel, nor cry out; nor will anyone hear his voice
in the streets.” 20 “A battered reed he will not break off, and a smoldering
wick he will not put out, until he leads justice to victory.” 21 “And in his
name the gentiles will hope.”
Jesus was not only reading the
scriptures but practicing. For all those verses, that Isaiah had written, Jesus
applied in his life and became an example to all of us. Christians have
received the spirit of God through the baptism. Practicing these verses in our
life we start the spiritual progress and we enroll ourselves to the will of
God. We practice verse 20 by respecting the aspect the religious conscience and
the freedom of others. Verse 21 is for all those who will achieve to erect a
strong and perfect character like Jesus Christ.
Chapter 12, Verse 30
“He who is not with Me is against Me and he
who does not gather with Me scatters”.
It is logic when a man does not
know God he doesn’t know what to gather what to scatter sooner or later leads
himself to an impasse. Since our words are different of our deeds then we are
against God.
Chapter 12, verse 31,
32
“Therefore I say to you
any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people but blasphemy against the Spirit
shall not be forgiven. 32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of man it shall
be forgiven him but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit it shall not be
forgiven him either in this age or in the age to come.”
Blasphemy to the Spirit for us is when we
do not believe in the sins the gifts and the fruits of the Holy Spirit and when
we do not believe that we can become such partakers. Briefly, when we do not
believe that we can live with God’s presence for ever. Another blasphemy is
when we do not believe in the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. It is
antirational and foolish to see the cosmological existence of the universe and
to ignore the creator, especially in the presence of a man as logic being in
the creation.
Chapter 12, Verse
34
“You brood of vipers how
can you being evil speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which
fills the hart.”
Naturally vipers carry deadly
poison, likewise the words of man becomes poison to our brothers when the evil
governs his mind. We mainly express our abundance of feelings emotions and
thoughts that already exist in our heart.
Chapter 12, Verse 35
“The good man brings out
of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil
treasure what is evil.”
The treasure is the information
we have in our brain. All these information controls our life; it is wise to
cast out the dirty and unclean information and all those spiritual elements
that produce corruption.
Chapter 12, Verse 37
“For by your words you will
be justified and by your words you will be condemned.”
Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from
the mouth of God. In verbiage sin is not lacking. We need to have
consciousness mercy to be justified and not convicted. One day the tongue said
to the brain –good morning- and the brain answered – by you it will depend-. So
we need to set on guard lips, to avoid fatigue in our being, in our bodies, in
our minds and of course not drive ourselves in to a dead end, with intractable
headaches and incurable disease.
Chapter 12, Verse 42
“The Queen of South will
rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it because she
came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon and behold
something greater than Solomon is here.”
This comparison was made by
Jesus to distinguish the difference between the vanity and the eternal life.
The wisdom of Solomon a significant appearance of God on earth, but the
appearance of the Son of God on earth it was the ultimate event of the
centuries. It was the beginning of the end to the sinful life and the beginning
of the end of death.
Chapter 12, Verse 43,
44, 45
“Now when the unclean spirit
goes out of a man it passes through waterless places seeking rest and does not
find it. 44Then it says I will return to my house from which I came and when it
comes it finds unoccupied swept and put in order. 45Then it goes and takes
along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself and e they go and
live there and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is
the way it will also be with this evil generation.”
It is well known the half
repentance the semi study of the scriptures the incomplete performance the lack
of practice of God’s will increases the danger of returning back to the sinful
way of living. The return of wicked spirits is the life with sickness and
diseases.
Chapter 12, Verse 48, 49,
50
But Jesus answered the one
who was telling Him and said “who is My mother and who is My brothers?” 49 “And
stretching out His hand towards His disciples He said “Behold My mother and My brothers!”
50 “For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven he is My brother
and sister and mother.”
Carnal family is united and lasts
until death, the spiritual family remains forever, so our family is all those
who listen to the word of God and practice it. Christ was the ideal man so His
personality and His feelings could not be affected by the household staff. We
have to understand that the relationships we have should be governed by
consideration of noble emulation and unfeigned love, however, in front of God’s
will everything gets second place, clarifying our position with all the people
here as Christ. If members of the family or friends do not want to follow the
destiny that God gave to us, let us ignore weakness and fillings that decline
us from our target (ask first the kingdom of heaven and the rest will be added
to you). It is better to disappoint man than God.
CHAPTER
13
Chapter 13, Verse 9
“He who hears, let him
hear.”
Jesus Christ ends the parable
with these words. For 20 centuries, the sower’s parable is repeated and repeated the seeds are
falling and falling all over. Finally who are the sower and the good land which
yields a crop thirty sixty and hundredfold? Is it inside us or far from us or
somewhere in heaven?
Chapter 13, Verse
11
Jesus answered them, “To you
it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them
it has not been granted.”
Mystery is anything we don’t
understand like God, like the creation, like love, like sleep, like the
incorruptible eternal life, like the Father the Son the Holy Spirit, like the
gifts, fruits sins like the logic that man has from God. When we comprehend all
these we belong to those it has been given, if not we belong to those it has
not given. If we are not familiar with the presence on the above mentioned and
their evolution, then we cannot be born again spiritually and be
completed.
Chapter 13, Verse 12
“For whoever has, to him more
shall be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have even what
he has shall be taken away from him.”
Essentially when man has god in
his life will be given all things of the world and of God. Man who chooses the
wrong way of sin to live will lose everything and his life. The way we lose
everything is through the corruption and death.
Chapter 13, Verse 15
For the heart of this people
has become dull, with their ears they scarcely hear, and they have closed their
eyes, otherwise they would see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and
understand with their heart and return, and I would heal them.
When a man is away from God the
evil finds ways and destroys the senses, destroys the logic of God, destroys
the spiritual evolution, so that he cannot capture the will of God. Basically
the evil destroys man through the weakness passions through sin. The
destruction comes because the materialistic factor and the multifarious sin.
Admittedly man today has deified matter and money. The sin and sedition
consciously brought the people far from God, as corollary to face painful
situations. God is waiting to cure and heal our souls and our bodies.
Chapter 13, Verse 46
And upon finding one pearl of
great value, he went and sold all that he had bought it.
The pearl of great price is Jesus
Christ his holy teaching and the envoy. If we comprehend this, the spirituality
in our life becomes priority, all the rest become second interest matters.
Chapter 13, Verse 50
And will throw them into the
furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of
teeth.
Away of the living Christ there is
a furnace of fire, which will always exists in our lives and that is the sin,
it derived from the fall, transient system of the world, built on money. If we
don’t know Christ and his teaching, the furnace will rise on a daily base. Well
as long as we have time let’s collect the treasure of Christ in order to deter
us from the furnace which only lights inside us.
Chapter 13, Verse 52
And Jesus said to them
“Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is
like a head of a household who brings out of his treasure things new and
old.”
New and old things there are in the
New and Old Testament, new and old there are in the world’s history and in the
science. Study everything to know all about our spiritual evolution this will
lead us to the throne of God. Study the universe study the incorruptible life
the reason because God is everywhere. Never be fanatic never be dogmatized be open
minded to easily achieve the change to the new life.
CHAPTER 14
Chapter 14, Verse 2
And said to his servants,
“This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead, and that is why
miraculous powers are at work in him.”
Herod was feeling guilty about
the beheading of John the Baptist. The fear and guilt gave him the idea of
reincarnation, there is no reincarnation, Jesus said: I am the resurrection and the life.
Chapter 14, Verse 6, 7,
8
But when Herod’s birthday
came, the daughter of Herodias danced before them and pleased Herod, 7 so much
that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. 8 Having been
prompted by her mother, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John
the Baptist.”
Celebrations feasts and parties
are not always pleasant, the results sometimes are unpredictable. So here
Herod, in the hour of excitement, made a big mistake, the promise brought him
to the point of becoming killer.
Chapter 14, Verse 16
But Jesus said to them, “They
do not need to go away; you give them something to eat!”
Jesus knew that they had not
enough food, but the performance of the miracle was the reason. In that time
Jesus fed, about five thousands of men and more, with bread and fish, but for
two thousand years feeds the humanity with His words. With his word creates the
people of God with his word establishes the kingdom of heaven on earth.
Chapter 14, Verse 23
After he had sent the crowds
away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening he
was there alone.
The mountain has unimaginable
power, the biggest is the silence, in the silence operates God, the people in
the silence captures the voice of God. In silence God admonishes evolves and
reborn the man. The mountain for us it doesn’t have to be (a natural mountain)
the mountain of silence is the quite place of prayer.
Chapter 14, Verse 33
And those
who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are certainly god’s Son!”
The deeds of love the deeds of
sacrifice the action and the forces of faith make a human Son of God. We have
to put effort and persistence on the Scriptures not only read but practices to
become sons of God. We have to have deeds with our faith show me your faith by your works and I show you my faith by my works.
Our good deeds will shape our character and will keep us to think and behave in
the manner of Christ.
CHAPTER 15
Chapter 15,
Verse 4
For god said “Honor your
father and mother.”
It is not honor to the father or
the mother when we visit them once in a while or at long intervals. We honor
our parents by taking care of them with love and supporting them to every need
especially with our presence so to make them feel secure and happy.
Chapter 15, Verse 9
They worship me in vain; their teachings are
about rules taught by men.
The theory and the formalism are
commandments of men and are far from the word of God. We must be careful
because the commandments of men, is
proven to have led people into disaster and perish. The commandments of God
which are directed to us, to God, to our fellow man are those that will benefit
our lives and the whole creation. We should elucidate the will of God from the
commandment of men, when all these will be comprehended then with relevant
effort will establish the life style that Jesus gave his life ransom for
many.
Chapter 15, Verse
11
“What goes into a man’s
mouth does not make him unclean; but what comes out of his mouth that is what
makes him unclean.”
Food does not defile the body,
but the filthy talk defiles the man. The pharisaical and formalism is not
planted by God, its manmade religion full of filthy talks criticizing and condemn
each other.
Chapter 15, Verse
13
He replied, “Every plant that
my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by roots.
The plantation not planted by
God is the devil his angels and the sin. This plantation and all those whose
theory and preaching contradicts to the will of God will be uprooted. God’s
voice began to eradicate the plantation (evil) from people’s heart members of
God’s spiritual family. The devil will be thrown into the abyss when people
will reborn in God, then he could not find any man to get into and do his
deeds, so he will live forever lonely in the abyss.
Chapter 15, Verse
14
Leave them; they are blind
guides. If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.
Blind is he who considers
himself omniscient. This selfishness to man comes from various titles he might
hold. Blind is also the fanatic one, someone who gets angry, someone who
criticizes and judges, someone who remains uneducated of God’s wisdom. Blind
are all the leaders who exploit their own people in the name of democracy, in
the name of freedom, in the name of prosperity, in the name of Jesus in the
name of God. We’ll need to be careful and keep a distance from such blind men
who want to lead us to the ditch.
Chapter 15, Verse 16
So Jesus said, “Are you still lacking in
understanding also?”
Dull is the man who does not
understand the call of God. The dull man relies on ritualism, melioration and
evolution to the soul and spirit has no effect on him, he prefers to
participate in futile meaningless activities.
Chapter 15, Verse 28
Then Jesus answered, “Woman,
you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed
from that very hour.
There are people who have been despised,
but God came to reborn and ascent them to his level. Patience and persistence
strengthens the power of faith, God values the virtues of persistence beliefs
and love.
CHAPTER 16
Chapter 16, Verse 1
The Pharisees and
Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them sign from
heaven.
Signs requested by unbelievers
are like those who keep the theory; “though you convince me you will not
convince me.” Christ’s disciples neither
seek for sign because they have the presence of God within them. The external
signs for the disciples of Christ, are like fireworks for sometime seems
gladden briefly and then lost. For Christ’s disciples today, the signs are the
fruits the gifts and the presence of the Holy Spirit. These are the signs that
the new disciples want to work within them, and therefore not to rely on the
fireworks. The external sign that we have to admire is the entire creation.
This creation is enough we do not need other signs, the rest of the signs are
within us, let’s find out. Also a big sing is the man itself, the only living
rational being that evolves along with the creation. If these two (creation and
man) is not enough then nothing will help the man who does not believe and asks
for signs. Let us remember the scribes and the Pharisees although they saw so
many miracles did not stop infidelity.
Chapter 16, Verse
3
“And
in the morning, there will be a storm today, for the sky is red and
threatening. Hypocrites! Do you know to discern the appearance of the sky but
you cannot discern the signs of the times?
The hypocrite has traits and
properties that reveal his hypocrisy. First is the fanaticism, second is the
personal interests, third is secular ambitious (titles), fourth he imposes laws
that himself does not practise, fifth he has substantial ignorance of what he
preaches, sixth he does not have deeds of sacrifices, seventh he likes to
differ from others to show that he is above them, eighth he does not work to
upgrade his fellow men, nine he does not reveal the will of God in total
because has no profit, rather he prefers to reveal a part, enough to be covered
but not exposed, tenth he does not have experience on things he proclaims but
dry knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love edifies. Eleventh his hypocrisy is
huge in front of God and men in various forms. Twelve his preaching is not
hundred per cent on the will of God, but mixed with material and political components
used with the power he got by the ignorance of the people, this ignorance (of
the people) enriches him with many assets. In Matthew chapter 23 Jesus explains
about hypocrisy. It is wise for us to avoid the hypocrites.
Chapter 16, Verse
6
And Jesus said to them,
“Watch out and beware of leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
The leaven (yeast) of the
Pharisees is the commandments of men dry ritualism abstaining from the truth.
The yeast of Pharisees creates confusion that results mental sickness such as
anger distress cunning selfishness and all these are directing us to death. I
wish to meet people of God being free from all those formalities, living
freely, glorifying and worshiping God in spirit and truth.
Chapter 16, Verse 13,
14
Now when Jesus came into the
district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, “Who do people say
that the Son of Man is?
14 And they said, “Some say John
the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others Jeremiah, or one of the
prophets.”
The imperfect knowledge and the
mental instability lead people to absurd conclusions, which changes according
to the time period. I want to know all of us that any mission that has
fulfilled it will not be repeated. All the new missions are biblical and above
given, in order to develop the new disciples, the old was for that period of
time. God with the new missions will awaken us, will involve us, and will use
us to finish his project which is the foundation of the kingdom in us and
around us.
Chapter 16, Verse 16,
17
Simon Peter answered, “You
are the Christ, the Son of living God.” 17 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are
you, Simon Bar-Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but
My Father who is in heaven.
You are the Son of the living God, this statement it was not a frivolous answer
by Peter neither an irrational expression, it is the truth not only on earth
but to the entire creation. It is the revealed secret of the ages. It is the
answer to all philosophers to the question (who is the man created by God?). It
is the answer to doctors and scientist who are striving for longevity. It is
the bridge which connects God and man. It is the presence of God on earth.
Chapter 16, verse 18
“I also say to you that
you are Peter, and upon this rock I will built My church; and the gates of Hades
will not over power it.”
Peter in this verse represents
faith (the rock), the living faith of the living God, also every man alive who
believes in Christ who receives and accepts the invitation through the baptism
to become this rock and to erect this church in him. This is the church that
Jesus gave His life ransom for many. Jesus is revealing the church He will be
pleased to establish. It is the church of the living God. It is the church of
God’s people who believe that the kingdom of heaven is within us. It is the
church where the members will be equal without officers and leaders. In this
church all will be brothers and sisters of Christ. In this church all will be
disciples of Christ volunteer workers for the kingdom of God on earth. This
church will have no assets or real estate properties or money. In this church
there is no need of preaching. This church will have no councils and committees
high rank officers or low rank sheep. In this church will dominate the fruits
the gifts and the signs of the Holy Spirit also longevity immunity incorruptibility. In this
church the gates of Hates shall not prevail against it. This is the church of
Christ abolishing the last enemy (death).
Chapter 16, Verse 20
Then he warned the
disciples that they should tell no one that he was the Christ.
When someone is really
something he does not like to be advertized by the people who are around. On
the contrary when someone is almost nothing he creates conditions for the
others to believe that he is something special.
Chapter 16, Verse
23
But he and said to
Peter, “Get behind Me Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me for you are not
setting your mind on God’s interest, but man’s.
The mind of God with the mind
of man has no association, it takes time to understand the will of God, and we
must study and practice the wisdom of God. Then we will respect the freedom and
the destiny of the others. We must not intrude to others mission, uninvited.
Chapter 16, Verse
24
Then Jesus said to his disciples,
“If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross
and follow Me.”
Come after Me it means and it
needs sacrifice. Denial it means giving up everything that pleases our sinful
life. The cross we have to pick up is our passions and weakness in other words
our bad (evil) self. Follow Jesus it means we have understood that our destiny
our target is to become children of living God.
Chapter 16, Verse
25
“For whoever wishes to save his life will
lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.”
For thousands of years man
lose life, it is time now to find it, if we sacrifice the sinful one we will
gain the sinless one.
Chapter 16, Verse
28
“Truly I say to you
there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until
they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
Truly I say to you, who are
those who shall not taste death? Who are those who are standing among us who
shall not taste corruption? Who can be all those who believe in life? Where are
all those brothers living in the stage of incorruptibility? Are those who
defeated death? Are those who devoted this life to gain the other? Are those
who belong to the church of Philadelphia? I believe is every one of us who
accepts the call, who receives the invitation, who with sincere repentance
practices the word of God and makes top priority the will of God.
CHAPTER 17
Chapter 17, Verse 2
There was transfigured before them. His face
shone like the sun and His cloths became as white as the light.
Transfiguration is essential to
meet the father. Transfiguration comes after a sincere repentance. The glory of
man differs of the glory of God. Transfiguration is the transformation
(transmutation) of our biological body, which is the rebirth a result of
sanctification (purification), is the spiritual transcendence, and is the
evolution of one or many men. A significant factor is the healthy doctrine;
this preaching is missing today from our societies. It is obvious the man made religions
the men’s commandments are unable to supply us with the healthy teaching and
the results are trivial.
Chapter 17, Verse 3
Just then there appeared
before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.
The presence of Moses and Elijah
it means that God is not God of dead but of the living. Psalm 88:5 Forsaken among the dead, like the slain who
lie in the grave. Whom you remember no more and who are cut off from Your hand.
But God will remember the dead and will bring back to life through the
resurrection, first comes the judgment. Moses represents immortality Elijah
represents incorruptibility both are with the living God and stay forever.
Chapter 17, Verse
5
While he was still
speaking a bright cloud enveloped them and a voice from the cloud said, “This
is my Son whom I love with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!”
The cloud prevents us to see the face
of God. The cloud leaves by the struggle of sanctification and purification.
The clouds today are the systems of the world which prevent the sun (Christ) to
warm our hearts. In this case the cloud used to cover the Father and for the
disciples to hear only the voice. It is a great mystery God the Father. Isaiah
the prophet says; Wash and make
yourselves clean take your evil deeds out of My sight stop doing wrong come now
let us reason together says the Lord. Let’s start the struggle of
purification and sanctification and to be confident when we take God seriously
He will take us seriously too.
Chapter 17, Verse
12
“But I tell you, Elijah has
already come and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything
they wished. In the same way the Son of man is going to suffer at their hands.”
For those days rejection
persecution and the death penalty it was the reward for the prophets and for
the forerunners. Today only the two are valid persecution and rejection. With
the wisdom of God we will discern the man of God the forerunner and the sent
one.
Chapter 17, Verse
20
He replied, “Because you
have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a
mustard seed you can say to this mountain, move from here to there and it will
move. Nothing will be impossible to you.”
All things are possible to whom
who believes, if we cannot believe, let’s ask God to increase our faith,
because faith is the greatest power that God gave to man.
Chapter 17, Verse 25, 26
“Yes,
he does,” he replied. When Peter came into the house Jesus was the first to
speak. “What do you think Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the
earth collect duty and taxes from their own sons or from strangers?” 26 “From
strangers,” peter answered. “Then sons are exempt,” Jesus said to him.
Who are the strangers? Who are the
sons of God? This is an issue among the nations among the religions and till
today they try to enumerate the flocks not as sons of God but as followers of a
party a dogma an association an organization, all are strangers, paying taxes
to the authorities until death. When the sons and daughters of God will appear
on the earth tax collectors will be in trouble.
CHAPTER 18
Chapter 18, Verse 1
At the same time came the
disciples unto Jesus saying. Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
There is no meaning of who is
the greatest in the kingdom of heaven because if there were a difference then
it should be identical to the system of the world on earth which has higher and
lower man. The only difference in the kingdom of God will be that star by the
star will differ in shine, depending on the mission. In the kingdom will
dominate the life the unfeigned love and the humbleness, also Lord revealed the
one who will serve the fellow men with sincerity will be the greater. For we do not wrestle against flesh and
blood but against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this age.
The words are useless; the deeds of love and the living faith will lead us to
heaven.
Chapter 18, Verse
7
Woe unto the
world because of offenses! For it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to
that man by whom the offense comes!
The personal ambitions and the
individual interests create the offense. These two demons create big and
unpleasant consequences to the people’s societies. Let’s remember the first and the Second World
War. Few men to satisfy their ambitions and interests in a dictatorial manner
killed and destroyed millions of people, neglecting the disaster and ignoring
the living conditions even for their own societies. When the leaders of the people are governed
by these two demons they are capable for the worst catastrophe. The offence
have influenced almost all men even the religious leaders who for the predomination
of their own dogma killed thousands of men, of course in the name of God! We as voice of god work to bring into our
lives Christ with his principles. Furthermore any deed succeeded with lies,
interests and ambitions is not from Christ but from evil. God does not urge no
one but through the events good or bad edifies the human race and leads each
one to rebirth. Imposing our theories with fanaticism for sure this creates
offence.
Chapter 18, Verse 10
Take heed that
you despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that in heaven
their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.
The small ones are those who
feel small in front of the omniscience and omnipotence of God, what we need is
not to despise anyone because God will turn away from us. We have to help all
these little ones because they work for the salvation of the people. If there
were not all these small ones to adorn our world then the world could be like a
jungle. I wish the time to come when humbles will take over the power and with
the deeds of love will create the new world of the living God.
Chapter 18, Verse
11
For the Son of man is come
to save that which is lost.
The lost sheep today is the entire
humanity, which has departed from the living God and currently is feeding on
carob bean. We need to enroll our life into God’s will, the lost sheep do not
have God and spiritual guidance neither a real and sincere aid, I rather say
they are lost because they look for the spiritual family of God. We must help
the lost sheep because we too have been lost in the past but now the mercy of
God is helping us to become His people.
Chapter 18, Verse
14
Even so it is not the will
of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should
perish.
Yes God’s love will not perish
anyone of the little ones, each man is valuable and equal to the creation, but
we don’t know it. Every single man has the specifications to become according
to His image and to His likeness.
Chapter 18, Verse
15
Moreover if your brother
shall trespass against you go and tell him his fault between you and him alone;
if he shall hear you, you have gained your brother.
It is a natural phenomenon; the
man cannot easily understand the will of God and falls into violation. Checking
a brother should always be done by the spirit of God with humbleness and a true
love. When we are checking a brother or a fellowman and we are feeling joy or
satisfaction then this checking is not from God but from the evil and the
results will be negative.
Chapter 18, Verse 18
Verily I say unto you, whatsoever
you shall bind on earth shall be what has been bound in heaven; and whatsoever
you shall loose on earth shall be what has been loosen in heaven.
This verse has a reverse sense,
if we do not forgive someone then the sin is tied in us and bind us. When we forgive,
we solve the sins then are solved forever by us and to our fellowman.
Chapter 18, Verse
19
Again I say to you. That
if two of you shall agree on earth concerning anything that they shall ask, it
shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.
At the voice of god we do
agree more than two and the request is, humbleness to come as well the wisdom
and love of God, also the release of the secular matters, elimination of sin,
elimination of corruption and the death, the establishment of the kingdom and
held the resurrection of the dead.
Chapter 18, Verse 21,
22
Then came Peter to him and
said Lord how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Till
seven times? 22 Jesus said unto him, I say not unto you, until seven times but
until seventy times seven.
Whatever the sin is we must
cross over (over pass it) the only thing to keep is the experience, and to
remember the way we get at, in order not to fall back to the same error. The
mercy of God must persecute us all the days of our life. Without mercy in our
life means Jesus is dead in us, admittedly for this reason was sacrificed. When we do not forgive everything in us and
around us it remains as a situation called unquenchable fire.
CHAPRER 19
Chapter 19, verse 3
The Pharisees also came
unto him testing him and saying unto him. Is it lawful for a man to put away
his wife for every cause?
What separates the couples is
the devil, which in the time of love and relationship, before or after the marriage,
is hiding. In the beginning they all present the good character but the evil is
functioning inside the man or the woman, as corollary to, after the official
engagement, the evil part starts to appear. It is natural the two evils to
conflict. Sadly the children from this relationship are wounded for the rest of
their life. Since Christ reigns to the couples, to the marriage, to the family
the good relation stays forever. For the children who lived in such situation
we have to help them with love and the wisdom of God, to get rid of the bitterness
they have accumulate from their parents.
Chapter 19, Verse
9
And I say unto you,
whosoever shall put away his wife except it be fornication and shall marry
other commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is put away does commit
adultery.
For sure this sin is big and
difficult to be forgiven but with unfeigned love of Christ it is achievable.
The love of Christ provides conscious forgiveness but the love of the world
provides the passive forgiveness with many negative effects. The distress of this
sin, when Christ is absent from one or the other companion, the sin becomes
destructive and leads to premature death. Today, the lack of sanctification and
purification creates many conflicts; the whole world is a dynamic confusion of
bifurcation. With all these passions that possess the human and the lack of
logic, it is normal for the people to divorce. For every mistake we do, the
mercy of God is always ready for us, to carry on life in a new base with the
wisdom of God.
Chapter
19, Verse 12
For there are some eunuchs,
who were so born from their mother’s womb; and there are some eunuchs, who
where made eunuchs of man; and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves
eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He that is able to receive it let him
receive it.
The first are those who born with
organic or hormonal problem. The second are all those who lived in the harem or
at wars incurred mutilation. The third are those who without any problem
decline this lust for the kingdom of heaven, like monks hermits or many
disciples. But if they cannot exercise
self-control let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with
passion. The
couples must know that they should agree together and act with temperance,
because at the marriage the man’s body belongs to his wife and the woman’s body
belongs to her husband.
Chapter 19, Verse
14
But
Jesus said, Allow little children and forbid them not, to come unto me; for of
such is the kingdom of heaven.
The children are governed by
simplicity governed by goodness of God we can easily communicate and conciliate
with them and it is easy for them to conceive the healthy teaching. Assuredly I say to you unless you are not
converted and become as little children you will by no means enter the kingdom
of heaven. The old men have egoism and they
cannot be easily acquainted by God or His sent because they feel they know
everything, they don’t revising anyone and nothing, of course there are
exemptions.
Chapter 19, Verse
17
And he said unto him: Why
do you call me good? There is none good but one that is God: but if you will
enter into life keep the commandments.
The commandments of God and the
manner we apply them will enter us into life. First we have to study carefully
and then to apply. We will not gain life with a lot of money or assets or good
food, but when we have in rich love joy peace, life does not consist of the
existing.
Chapter 19, Verse 19
Honor your father and
your mother and you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Honor to our parents is 1)
Interest for their life conditions. 2)
Interest for their health. 3) Frequent visits if they live alone. 4) Have
conversation about their problems. 5) Substantial love. 6) Use the grace of God
if any mistake comes. 7) They already have the problem of elder they don’t need
ours. 8) Interest towards how they like to practice their religion. 9) Respect to their choice of
living.
Chapter 19, Verse 20,
21
The young man said to
him. All these things I have kept from my youth what do I still lack? Jesus said unto him; if you will be perfect
go sell what you have and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven
and come follow me.
The young man answered frivolously,
because these things he never kept them. When Jesus said follow me he didn’t
follow him, when he said that he loves his fellowman he did not give anything
to the poor. This is a great command full of wisdom to love and take care of
your fellowman as yourself. If the young man had real love to his fellowman for
sure he should be taking care about its financial and spiritual progress. There
are many man saying we love God we do not commit sin we love our parents our
fellowman but with an evil way with hypocritical love and feign participation
to their problems. It takes time first to conceive the will of God and then to
practice it with deeds of love.
Chapter 19, verse 23,
24, 25, 26
Jesus said to his
disciples. “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of heaven.” 24 “And again I say to you it is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle than for the rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
25 When the disciples heard this they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who
then can be saved?” 26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is
impossible but with god all things are possible.”
The worry
of business, the fat material style of life of the riches, hampers the
spiritual unity with God but for what man is impossible for God is possible.
There is another kind of rich, those who are rich in material interests and
personal ambitions which becomes boomerang to their spiritual progress. There are
many others who are rich in malice, ego, wickedness and passions. Here in this
verse, it doesn’t mean only the rich in money but rich in the evil. There are
also exemptions for those who use the material factor for the glory of God with
maturity to the will of God.
Chapter 19, Verse
29
And every
one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children
or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit
eternal life.
This verse becomes an obstacle for
those who have partiality and weakness to the secular environment. Through this
verse the dedication to God proves the sincere intention and the complete love
to Him. For sure after such abandonment our relation with God changes from a
typical one to substantial, because our deeds reveal the decision and our love
to God. The hundredfold blesses and the eternal life are the price for our
devotions.
Chapter 19, Verse
30
But many who are first
will be last and many who are last will be first.
This verse has two meanings.
The negative one is that the first called men are unable to accept in their
conscience the last called men, because of their ego, the excessive selfishness
which from the first place returned and put them to the last place. The
positive meaning is that the first called men by serving the last become last
automatically but they are first because of their humbleness. God through the
centuries develops the generations, the first know a lot the last mach more but
we are not here to become leaders, Sheppard or prophet or to seek glory from
people, we are here to become humble brothers and sisters of Christ partners
and co-heirs of the kingdom of heavens.
CHAPTER 20
Chapter 20, Verse
1-16
For the kingdom of
heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire men to
work in his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent
them into his vineyard. 3 About the third hour he went out and saw others
standing in the market place doing nothing. 4 he told them, you also go and
work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right. So they went. 5 He
went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing.
6 about the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around.
He asked them; why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing? 7
Because no one has hired us, they answered. He said to them you also go and
work in my vineyard. 8 When evening came the owner of the vineyard said to his
foreman; call the workers and pay them their wages beginning with the last ones
hired and going on to the first. 9 The workers who were hired about the
eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. 10 so when those came who were
hired first they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a
denarius. 11 When they received it they become to grumble against the
landowner. 12 these men who were hired last worked only one hour; they said and
you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the
heat of the day. 13 But he answered one of them, friend I am not being unfair
to you. Didn’t you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. 15
Don’t have the right to do what I want with my money? Or are you envious
because I am generous? 16 So the last will be first, and the first will be
last.
Here we see the wisdom of God and
the manner he considers the works of men. But the salvation will be by God who
does not see at the face neither judges according to the appearance but the
righteous judgment. God saves the man from any religion or doctrine by the
intention and vindicates the righteous from his heart and his intentions. Let
us do the work that God has given us, there is no need to be preoccupied with
others. God has vindicated the whore; God vindicated the robber and many others
who were condemned by people.
Chapter 20, Verse 18,
19
We are going up to
Jerusalem and the Son of Man will be betrayed to chief priests and the teachers
of the law. They will condemn him to death 19 and will turn him over the
gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be
raised to life!
The prophetic gift involves the
fascinating wisdom of God; with it we can interpret the negative situations of
the future which hides eternal glory. God does not give the prophetic gift
easily especially God hides it from non reborn Christians because at their
spiritual level they are unable to accept the destiny and the future events.
Spiritual maturity humbleness and wisdom of God is need as well as waiting and
enduring for the salvation throughout positive and negative that will evolve us
to the will of God. Once I had caught in various dogmatic theories and men’s
commandments. The Lord told me, so as you go the devil will humiliate you, what
you want, me to humiliate you or the evil? I said you, Lord immediately told
me; take the gospel read it from the beginning forgetting that you believed as
true until yesterday, remove all the commandments of men you had adopted. So I
start a new spiritual life based on his own admonitions without opposing the
existing spiritual variety, because we know that all things work together for
good to those who love god to those who are the called according to His
purpose. Unfortunately, many were
unable to free themselves from the commandments of men and the fanatical
dogmatic theories, as corollary to fall into the relentless trap of criticism
because when you dogmatize something although is good it becomes a snare to
judge others. We must not want others to be as we want to be, but as God wants
them, accept them as they are, this is love and this is God.
Chapter 20, Verse 21,
22, 23
“What is it you want?”
He asked. She said “Grand that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your
right and the other at your left in your kingdom.” 22 “You don’t know what you
are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?”
“We can, “They answered. 23 Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my
cup but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong
to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.”
Many want the elsewhere and
many are looking for the pill that will solve all problems, let us know that
there is no such pill. We should work and be tested to get to heaven and there
is a specialization in the way that God evolves us. Many men get despair,
desperation is the largest system of egotism and has the authority to cast us
out of God’s plan. The Lord promises that will not be tempered with more than
we can withstand, as anyone who allies with God never is defeated.
Chapter 20, Verse 24
When the ten heard about
this, they were indignant with the two brothers.
The indignation comes from
selfishness or by excessive zeal, especially when we do not achieve our goals,
or even from various negative events that happen in our life because we do not
mean the reason. In this case, the indignation was natural but mother’s
intention was from excessive love. If they were aware of the things and the
wisdom of God, the only thing that would come out at that time from a born
again man, it could be a light simple smile.
Chapter 20, Verse 26,
27
Not so with you. Instead
whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant. 27 And whoever
wants to be first must be your slave.
First place in the kingdom of
heaven possess the servants, they arrange everything in God’s house and only to
these ones God has confidence. The servant does not give orders or advices, he
accepts the commandments and every day becomes better and does the best to
serve the brothers. I would like all of us to become servants and that we do,
to do it with love joy interest and God’s wisdom. The servant is not intended
to become guest, because the guest will eat and leave. The servant is always in
the house and he arranges to the house, what food will be served every day
spiritual or material. We as spiritual servants either we do preaching or
confessing or forgiving to do it with interest to satiate the family of God. If
we want to become first let us become last servants who according to all will
obey to God.
CHAPTER 21
Chapter 21, Verse 9
The crowds going
ahead of Him and those who followed were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of
David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord; hosanna in the
highest!”
I believe blessed is the Lord
for those men they could not know that it is God himself. But the prophecy
mentioned in the name of the Lord, so it is not for Him. The Lord was present
at that time, so the blessed belongs to the future time. Jesus said; See your house is left to you desolate, for
I say to you, you shall see me no more till you say, blessed is he who comes in
the name of the Lord! The blessed will come under the command of God, to
manifest the wisdom of God, so that the mankind can comprehend the mission of
the Lord and the way that God plans the salvation of the world. I wish all of
us to recognize and follow the blessed one when he comes and then get to know
the Lord, the God.
Chapter 21, Verse
11
And the crowds were
saying, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth in Galilee.”
The multitudes did not
recognize the Lord, for them Jesus was a prophet from Nazareth.
Chapter 21, Verse
12, 13
And Jesus entered the
temple and drove out all those who were buying and selling in the temple and
overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were
selling doves. And He said to them, “It is written My house shall be called a
house of prayer; but you are making it a robbers den.”
Definitely this fact took place and came from
the sacred indignation that existed at that time within Jesus. As we know God
did not create the temples for some to handle their trades but for the people
to communicate with living God through the ministers. The spiritual
interpretation is that the temple of God is the brain of every man where God
conciliates with the man. When Christ is in us, various animals (passions) appear
within us, which are thrown out wrongly.
Chapter 21, Verse
17
And He left them and
went out of the city to Bethany and spent the night there.
Lord elsewhere emphasized that; Foxes have holes and birds of the air have
nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head. A real God and had
no home, zero assets, this gave him the power to have no time to devote for the
living care, but to care only about his Father’s will. Jesus wanted to do only
the Father’s will as soon as possible. Unlike with us who struggle to acquire
material essential goods, believing that will insure our life and then the
spiritual matters. The results of our choice are to grow the care on matter, by
natural consequence; we do not have time to deal with the things of God. The
personality of Christ, because He was an ideal man, did not provide the
thoughts that could lead him out of his mission. I wish to all of us to put in
order our time and to use it for the salvation of our soul and our body.
Chapter 21, Verse
22
“And all things you ask in
prayer believing you will receive.”
In this verse Jesus is telling
us about faith that he has, everything is possible to the believer. To acquire
this faith we must struggle for the purification and preaching the gospel of
kingdom, with this faith Christ will appear in our life. Correcting the way of
thinking and acting we also abolish the wrong belief we had about God, the
wrong concept we had about life and about our rebirth. We have to ask and nock
at the house of the Lord until the door of life opens.
Chapter 21, Verse
41
They said to Him, “he
will bring those wretches to wretched end, and will rent out the vineyard to
other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the proper seasons.”
God is love and does not tease
any, alone each leads to the lost due to the works being done. The hypocrite is
most at risk from all others working at the events of the gospel. Also in
dangerous place is the one who possessed of knowledge which wrongly uses in
order to manage and take advantage of man or through the wealth of God take
advantage of the vineyard (people). I believe that the biggest sin is to
exploit our fellowmen because of their lower mentality or take advantage of the
lack of knowledge or keep them in ignorance, by manmade creeds.
Chapter 21, Verse
43
Therefore I say to you
the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people producing
the fruit of it.
At the book of revelation
Lord says if a church does not correct, does not change, does not repent of the
wrong way of believing and preaching the will of God, the Lord will remove its
lamp stand. The question is to which nation or to which religion the kingdom of
heaven will be given? I believe that God will give His kingdom to the nation
where all men will consciously practice the will of God, and love each other
will be like a written constitution in their hearts.
CHAPTER 22
Chapter 22, verse 5, 6
“But they paid no
attention and went their way one to his own farm another to his business, 6 and
the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them.”
The excuse always hides lies.
It is obvious men did not understand the call of Christ and they never gave priority
to the will of God. The materialistic goals and the social concern are driving
us out of the spiritual destination. The interest of life with the presence of
God becomes bless and the values of life are giving us a complete different
concept of life. Actually God’s invitation varies to each one of us in time and
in the way we receive it, this is one of the reasons we do not understand it
and rationally we neglect it. I wish to all of our brothers and sisters to
understand God’s invitation and to enroll our lives to the will of God by using
the simple expression, I am a disciple
of Christ and a founder of the kingdom on earth.
Chapter 22, Verse
8
“Then he said to his
slaves, the wedding is ready but those who were invited were not worthy.”
Indeed, for two thousand years
the table is ready, the dinner of love is waiting for us but Jesus stays alone,
very few exemptions. I wish all Christians to appreciate the invitation for the
dinner of love; it is time for us to become worthy guests.
Chapter 22, Verse
9
“Go therefore to the main
highways and as many as you find there invite to the wedding feast.”
God has no partiality. God
wants all men to be saved and to have the knowledge of truth. Every one receives
the call from Christ, but if he understands that God sent servants to find him,
let start feeling happy because the dinner is at hands. The participation to
God’s table it means deification of man from the image of earthy to His image
and His likeness.
Chapter 22, Verse
10
“Those slaves went out
into the streets and gathered together all they found both evil and good; and
the wedding was filled with dinner guest.”
The first guests are the Jews
the second guests are the gentiles (us). The gentiles we had ignorance of the
living God, but now we became guests, thank God because now we are participants
of the dinner.
Chapter 22, Verse
12
And he said to him,
“Friend how did you come in here without wedding clothes?” And the man was
speechless.
The wedding garment is
provided and guaranteed in our lives through the purification and
sanctification, everyone will (saw it) at his privet sanctuary. If we don’t
have the wedding dress we will be cast out, because of our evil self, this evil
will react against the will of God. The wedding garment is securing us the
participation at Lord’s dinner with peaceful coexistence and fascinated wisdom
of God. This participation at God’s table will insure the perfect relation with
God and the completion we need to succeed the incorruptibility of our soul and
our body.
Chapter 22, Verse
14
“For many are called, but
few are chosen.”
The called
are all those who are followers of Christ in different dogmas and glorify God
with words but not with deeds. It is easy to understand who are the called. The
chosen are those who have spirituality, they pray and study, respect the laws
of God and of the state, they don’t judge nor criticise the others. For the
chosen, the wonderful is, that they observe and correct themselves in daily
base, the will of God has priority, curry on the mission that God revealed. The
chosen are those who fulfill the promises and practice God’s will.
Chapter 22, Verse
21
They said to Him,
“Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “then render to Caesar the things that are
Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”
It is fascinated wisdom of God when a man is
able to respect the aspect the religious conscience the freedom and the destiny
of the others. It is the will of God to respect the laws of the state or the
nation where we live.
Chapter 22, Verse 28, 29
“Last of all; the woman
died. 28 in the resurrection, therefore, whose wife of the seven will she be?
For they all had married her.” 29 But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are
mistaken not understanding the Scriptures or the power of God.”
To understand the Scriptures
does not need literature but wisdom of God and pure heart. The hypothetical
question it sound silly for Jesus, the sophistry of the fallacious method of
reasoning the question it didn’t work out, for Sadducees resurrection it is an
absurdity because of their unbelief. Sadly, there are even today men rejecting
the kingdom the eternal life and the resurrection, for them God will remain a
mystery.
Chapter 22, Verse
30
“For in the resurrection they
neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels in heaven.”
The first resurrection, the
resurrection of the spirit (for the spirits believe in death) takes place today
for the children of God. For the
establishers of the kingdom, marriage is not a priority it is not even a
necessity. The angels have other vocation and complete different mission,
nothing that brings vanity or bandage, through the rebirth we will have the
opportunity to associate with them.
Chapter 22, Verse 37,
38, 39, 40
And he said to him, “You
shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with your entire mind,” 38 “This is the great and foremost commandment.’ “The
second is like it; You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 “On these two
commandments depend the whole law and the Prophets.”
Our heart must be identical to
the compassionate heart of Christ and its choice. If it needed to give my life
for the glory of God and the salvation of the world. With all your soul: soul
manifests itself and reveals the nature of man. When our soul (our word and
deed) is given to the will of God, then confidence, love, humbleness, wisdom
and the glowing face reveals that our soul is with God. With your entire mind:
when there is God in our mind our word our deeds evolve positively our life.
Our mind is the place where God and man conciliate. When in our mind (brain)
there is strong presence of God then secularism and sin disappears. In the mind
of Christ only the Father God was present. If our mind is connected with the
will of God then the fruits the gifts the sins will reveal the glory of God.
You shall love your neighbor as yourself:
The man who will help his brother not die, himself will not die. Our interest
to our brother must be with good words and honest deeds towards the rebirth of
his. Love is finding ways and a device system for the salvation of our
fellowman. Bear in mind that in the old testament fellowman is the one who asks
for help. In the New Testament fellowman is the one who prevents bad situations
and declines negative directions for the fellowman, in order to avoid the dead
end. Our priority is, born again (in spirit), this is a vital help to our
surrounding.
Chapter 22, Verse
44
“The lord said to my lord
‘sit at My right hand until I put your enemies beneath Your feet’.”
The enemies of Christ are
ignorance, sciolism, sin, corruption and death. When all these will stop
functioning among the Christians then Jesus will appear for His second coming,
till then He will stay at the right of his Father. This deed will be fulfilled
by the comforter, by the holy Spirit. Since this promise is completed by the
chosen then the comforter will deliver the immortal kingdom with its members
(Christians) to the Son and Word of the living God, after Jesus Christ will
deliver the kingdom to the Father for the fulfilment of the prophecy.
Now
when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be
subject to Him who put all things under Him that God may be all in all.
I will dwell in
them and walk among them, I will be their God and they shall be My people. None
of them shall teach his neighbor and none his brother saying know the Lord for
all shall know me, from the last of them to the greatest of them.
The voice of god has from the above the
direction and the exhortation to adopt the will of God in order to review and
fulfil all the written. It is in our hands to make it happen in our days it
will need little dedication, living faith, unfeigned love, humbleness in real
and the written will be fulfilled, Jesus is waiting for our sincere repentance.
The difference between Jesus and us is that Jesus materialized His words into
deeds, we simply philosophize on the events of the Scriptures and by adding
sophistries we get divided. Now is the
time for action the delay is our responsibility.
CHAPTER
23
Chapter 23, Verse 2, 3,
4
Saying;
“The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; 3
therefore all that they tell toy, do and observe , but do not do according to
their deeds; for they say things and do not do them. 4 “ They tie up heavy
burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders but they themselves are unwilling to
move them with so much as a finger.”
Moses implements everything that
he was told by God, the reason because God was talking to him. The scribes and
the Pharisees keep the sit and the authority that God did not give to them. In
the same manner as today happening with men’s commandments binding us with
heavy burdens which not only are needless but also disorientate us from the
truth. We have to observe and according to the gospel be orientated. When we
will be acquainted with Christ then we can discern the spirits and distinguish
the Holy Spirit. Well let us be aware of the heavy burdens (the dry formalism,
men’s made creeds, and the supercilious verdict God will punish you!) Scribes and Pharisees have been spread all over
the earth we can see them in every dogma in every religion in every society in
every nation and they have nothing common with the living God, because their
God lives in heaven.
Chapter 23, Verse
8
“But do not be called Rabbi; for
One is your Teacher and you are all brothers.”
From this verse we derive the
conclusion that God will establish a church without Rabbi without teachers but
only brothers and equal members will form the people of God. The church of
Philadelphia will conceive the right way of the improvement. The church of
Philadelphia is a prophetic church and will reveal itself in the end. Its main
participants will be born again Christians from all dogmas. The main issue for
the members will be to respect the aspect the religious conscience the freedom
and the destiny of the others. The way that the good can be improved into every
man can be different. But in the kingdom each one will be reborn in the
personality of Christ. Basically, for the people of God, the elements and the
traits will be the fruits the gifts the sins of the Holy Spirit.
Chapter 23, Verse 11,
12
“But the greatest among
you shall be the servant. 12 whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and
whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
It is a great position in the
family of God to be a servant. The servant performs the commandments of God
with no contradiction, is serving God and his brothers. Whoever exalts himself
will be humbled. Through the wisdom of God many men receive spiritual and
material goods for their own benefit. All these will be humbled the reason
because of their selfishness, it is dangerous the egoistic philosophy that
ignores brotherhood. Self interest is the misguided interest; while the general
interest is the well-being interest, it is the will of God. Christ arrived at
the last spiritual step because He wanted us to reach the throne of God.
Chapter 23, Verse 13
-32
“But woe to you
scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven
from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are
entering to go in. 14 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees hypocrites because you
devour widows’ houses and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you
will receive greater condemnation. 15 woe to you scribes and Pharisees
hypocrites because you travel around on sea and on land to make one proselyte;
and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as your
selves. 16 Woe to you, blind guides, who say ‘Whoever swears by the temple,
that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.’ 17
You fool and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that
sanctified the gold? 18 And you blind men who is more important the offering or
the altar that sanctifies the offering? 20 Therefore whoever swears by heaven,
swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it. 23 Woe to you
scribes and Pharisees hypocrites! For you tithe the mint and dill and cumin,
and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and
faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting
the others. 24 You blind guides who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! 25
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the
cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.
26 you blind Pharisees first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so
that the outside of it may become clean also. 27 Woe to you, scribes and
Pharisees! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear
beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28
So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of
hypocrisy and lawlessness. 29 woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the
righteous, 30 and say,’ if we had been living in the days of our fathers, we
would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’
31 So testify against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the
prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers. 33 You
serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of hell?
Let us read carefully these
verses, we will be greatly benefited of these advisory reminders. Otherwise we
will fall to the trap crucified Christ with our words and with our deeds. Many
men reading these woes think have nothing to do with us, but I recommend these
sorrows are for all people on earth, as long as there are men believing the
kingdom is in heaven, these verses are in valid for them.
Chapter 23, Verse
34
“Therefore, behold, I am
sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and
crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute
from city to city.”
The prophets and the
disciples are sent by God to reveal and present God’s unfeigned love, but
authorities of men have no profit of it. For two thousand years now the
authorities, accompanied with the scribes and Pharisees, close their ears. The
time came and God through his servants will prepare and reborn His children,
the result will be obvious, for all those years the representatives of God were
rather feeding themselves than helping people. Once this people understand and
pull out all the alleged middlemen from their life then they will cease to
crucify those that God sends. Ignorance is the cause and many men become
partners on the issue of the scribes and Pharisees. It is inconceivable God’s
people to judge to prosecute and kill his fellow man, but it is conceivable
because for them God is living in heaven.
Chapter 23, Verse
38
“Behold, your house is
being left to you desolate!”
Absence of the spirit desolation
of the house. The house is our body, when the soul (spirit of God) leaves, the
body is desolated. In brevity a dead body for today but the burial is in the
future.
Chapter 23, Verse
39
“For I say to you from
now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name
of the Lord!’”
Who can be the blessed one who
comes in the name of the Lord? How can we identify him? What will be the sin?
Is someone embroidered with gold thread vestments? Is someone living like an
ordinary nobody? Maybe a good Samaritan!
CHAPER 24
Chapter 24, Verse 1-11
Jesus came out from the temple and was going
away when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. 2 And
He said to them, “Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you not one
stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.” 3 As He was
sitting on the mount of olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying,
“Tell us, when these things happen and what will be the sign of Your coming and
of the end of the age?” 4and Jesus answered and said to them, “See to it that
no one misleads you. 5”For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the
Christ,’ and will mislead many. 6You will be hearing of wars and rumors of
wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place but
that is not the end. 7For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against
kingdom and various places there will be famines and earthquakes. 8But all
these things are merely the beginning of berth pangs. 9Then they will deliver
you tribulation and will kill you and you will be hated by all nations because
of My name. 10At that time many will fall away and will be betray one another and
hate one another. 11Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.”
Many of these events were
fulfilled and more whoever continue to be fulfilled until the second coming of
the Lord. The false prophet has no God or respect in front of the privet interest;
he resets everything to his own benefit. Of course he speaks for God but he
turns the words to agree always with his own interest, in order always to have
the power, if possible, to take advantage of the perpetual ignorance of others.
The false prophet works for his own benefit but God’s prophet works for the
glory of God and the salvation of man.
Chapter
24, Verse 12, 13
“Because lawlessness is
increased, most people love will grow cold. 13But the one who endures to the
end he will be saved.”
The love of many will grow
cold due to the lack of cleansing with the natural consequence Christians of
the speeches to attack Christians of the deeds. More over today we see that
people though they have the same leader, Christ, have been divided into various
denominations to which unleashed a cold war and a merciless condemnation.
Patience reveals cultured man sage being governed by the spirit of God. Knowing that the testing of your faith
produces patience, but let patience have its perfect work, that you may be
perfect and complete lacking nothing. By patience will capture the way that
God acts conceding and allowing various situations in life to perfect the
man.
Chapter 24, Verse
14
“This gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations,
and then the end will come.”
A few years ego the borders of
the nations was almost closed, the specific time arrived today for the gospel
of kingdom to be preached everywhere. This gospel of the kingdom has the power
to unite all nations under the spirit of God. This gospel has four chapters;
the first chapter is the undivided, divisions
have brought the worst persecutions, on division reign curse and death.
The second chapter is the coherence. Holy Father keep through your mane those
whom You have given Me that they may be one as We are. Without losing our
personality without denying the spiritual way that we mimicked as many others
to communicate with God we will be unable
to communicate with any man in any denomination with the elements of the gospel
which unite and provide consistency. Things are remaining simple, why we do
them difficult with various selfishness and bigotry?
The
third chapter is the integrated gospel.
For whoever shall keep the whole law and
get stumble in one point he is guilty of all. Almost all denominations have
rejected, unfortunately for the people, the elements that Lord reveals, are
revealed by faith. Jesus said: Whoever lives and believes in Me shall never
die. Christians didn’t conceive didn’t believe and brought kingdom back to
heaven, yes but earth is in heaven belongs to heaven it is heaven like any
other planet or star, all material world is in heaven and the kingdom of God is
for the whole universe. In the third chapter by the living faith by the
spiritual science the corruption will be abolished and the physical death as
well. In the third chapter the incorruptible life will make the man heir of the
created and uncreated world. Moreover all shall be done for the man who has in
him the living God. Stop to believe in the paradise somewhere in heaven; cease
to believe in the necessity of death, since everyone knows that the wages of
sin brings death. If we cast out the sin death will stop working in us.
The fourth chapter of the kingdom is the
three above mentioned chapters.
The voice of God proclaims the Undivided Integrated Gospel of
Consistency.
Chapter 24, Verse
15
“Therefore when you see
the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet,
standing in the holy place (let the reader understand).
The spiritual abomination of desolation is in
our mind which is the temple of God. At the end of times (last days) for many
men the presence of God will be replaced by the presence of passion, weakness,
interests, personal ambitions and many stereotypes of the existing world.
Materialistically, the abomination of the desolation will be the antichrist,
who will erect again the temple of Solomon, in difficult times for the
humanity, and he will take a place in it, creating a screen in which he will
sit and through the media will be seen by the whole world. For three years and
a half silence among the brothers will prevail. And the Christians will go to
flee. As it is written in tough times a pregnant woman or a mother with a baby
living will not be easy, as it is happening in a war period. I wish God to
create conditions and the rebirth be completed before the coming of antichrist.
The ignorance and the sciolism, unfortunately for many, will become a snare
during the events because sorrow, affliction and distress will be unsurpassed
for non reborn man. The main reason will be that the financial-economic system
will collapse and then for those who have erect and based their life on money, losing
everything will become demon possessed.
Chapter 24, Verse
24
“For false Christ and
false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders so as to
mislead if possible even the elect.”
The plan that antichrist has and
the conditions he will deceive, even the elects, we will reveal in individual
discussions .For the elects must believe to the integrated gospel of the
kingdom for not to be deceived. After all, believe in the abolishment of death,
in the immortalization and transfiguration. Antichrist will not appear through
the cards or I.D. but he will attract the attention and will gain the
confidence of the people, even of the elects, because he will provide solutions
in material issues as well as to the issue of life.
Chapter24, Verse
28
“Wherever the corpse is
there the vultures will gather.”
The corpse is Christ, the
eagles are the elects who will see the corpse and gather to take the necessary
nourishment to be vivify forever. The eagles are God’s people who taste the
incorruptible life.
Chapter24, Verse
29
“But immediately after
the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened and the moon will not
give its light and the stars will fall from the sky and the powers of the
heavens will be shaken.”
The sun is Christ (self-luminous) the
moon is the church illuminated by Christ. The stars are the spiritual men; the
powers are the entire spiritual world that will be shaken. All these will
happen at the time of antichrist. But all these events will have no effect for
God’s people (reborn) because God would have abided among them.
Chapter 24, Verse
31
“And He will send forth his
angels with a great trumpet and they will gather together His elect from the
four winds from one end of the sky to the other.”
God will gather His people in
the Holy city, because before were spread at the presence of antichrist. It is
written: But the saints of the Most High
shall receive the kingdom and posses the kingdom forever, even forever and
ever.
Chapter 24, Verse
32
“Now learn the parable
from the fig tree; when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its
leaves you know that summer is near.”
The fig tree is the system of
the world. Back then God has cursed the fig tree; by the time God will allow
the fig tree to have leaves. Leaves are the undivided integrated gospel of
consistency at the same time we have the fruits the gifts and the sins, since
the system of the world will accept humbleness love (the real Christ) and the
incorruptible life, then we will have the end of the spiritual education of the
mankind.
Chapter 24, Verse 34
“Truly I say to you this generation will not
pass away until all these things take place.”
Here it
means all the sinning generations who’s the end is coming. Let us believe that
the voice of God has the command and is able to put an end to this sinful
generation, through the rebirth and the wisdom of God. Let’s prepare ourselves
and be ready to enter the sinless generation alive, today is the time not
tomorrow, tomorrow never comes.
Chapter 24, Verse 36
“But of that day and hour no
one knows not even the angels of heaven nor the Son but the Father alone.”
For those who heralds the
Lord’s Day within exact time they are all wrong. The fallacious way of
predicting the second coming it hides fear; this fear is used to keep the flock
and the herd inside the fence. It is the best gimmick to get high benefit for
their acting. Once a preacher “sent by god” proclaimed the second coming in
three years, the entire flock (church ) has believed it, but himself borrowed
one million dollars to invest in real estate, his privet summer bungalow. False
prophets there are all over.
Chapter 24, Verse 51
“And will cut him in
pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
We must think well because the
situation whether positive or negative will be eternal. Christians are
indifferent to substantive call of Christ. I would like to say my small
experience, let’s try to enter to silence to prayer until hear the voice of
loving God, one word every month is enough for us to create ineffable joy, and
this joy creates the endorphin, this sort of endorphin rush occurs the
reproduction of cells. Endorphin the incorruptible nourishment within produces
life by the living voice of the living God. I wish to understand and to apply
it.
Chapter 25, Verse 1-12
“Then the kingdom of
heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to
meet the bridegroom. 2 Five of them were foolish and five were prudent. 3 For
when the foolish took their lamps they took no oil with them, 4 but the prudent
took oil in flasks along with their lamps. 5 now while the bridegroom was
delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. 6 But at midnight there was a
shout, behold the bridegroom! Come out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins rose
and trimmed their lamps. 8 The foolish said to the prudent give us some of your
oil for our lamps are going out. 9 But the prudent answered, no there will be
not enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for you.
10 And while they were going away to make the purchase the bridegroom came and
those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was
shut. 11 later the other virgins also came saying, lord, Lord Open up for us.
12 But he answered; truly I say to you I do not know you. 13 Be on the alert
for you do not know the day not the hour.
The foolish virgins are the
Christians who erect their faith on the theory “believe but not research” also
those who have adopted the formalities but not the spirituality. Foolish are
all the Christians who do not study who do not practice the will of God. The
foolishness is because they don’t want to correct themselves and to born again
in spirit. So lack of purification lack of sanctification this weakness will
effect negatively and the oil will finish before the day of Christ. The wise
virgins are all those who work spiritually to born again saving the oil for the
day of Christ, as a result the flame of the Holy Spirit to stay
inextinguishable. At His day Christ will ask from us to be free from fear, ego,
materialism, slyness, hypocrisy. In other words the ignorance of the scriptures
makes us foolish.
Chapter 25, Verse
14-30
For it is just like a man
about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his
possessions to them. 15 To one he gave five talents to another two and to
another one each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey. 16
Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them
and gained five more talents. 17 In the same manner the one who had received
the two talents gained two more. 18 but he who received the one talent went
away and dug a hole in the ground and hide his master’s money. 19 now after a
long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them. 20
the one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents
saying. Master you entrusted five talents to me. See I have gained five more
talents. 21 His master said to him well done good and faithful slave. You were
faithful with a few things I will put you in charge of many things; enter into
the joy of your master. 22 Also the one who had received the two talents came
up and said master you entrusted two talents to me. See I have gained two more
talents. 23 His master said to him. Well done good and faithful slave. You were
faithful with few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into
the joy of your master. 24 And the one also had received the one talent came up
and said master I knew you be hard man reaping where you did not sow and
gathering where you scattered no seed. 25 And I was afraid and went away and
hid your talent in the ground. See you have what is yours. 26 But his master answered
and said to him. You wicked lazy slave you knew that I reap where I did not sow
and gather where I scattered no seed. 27 Then you ought to have put my money in
the bank and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest.
28 Therefore take away the talent from him and give it to the one who has the
ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has more shall be given and he will have in
abundance; but from the one who does not have even what he does have shall be
taken away, 30 Throw out the worthless slave into outer darkness; in that place
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The talents are the
spiritual gifts that God offers to all of us, for the improvement of our life
working for the glory of God but not for our personal benefit. Repentance
increases the numbers of talents but we have to use them carefully with wisdom
for the glory of God and the salvation of the people. The talents are the elite
gifts from God, let’s appreciate and honor the Father God.
Chapter25, Verse 40
The king will answer and say
to them. Truly I say to you to the extent that you did it to one of these
brothers of Mine even the least of them you did it to Me.
Many man glorify God for the
blesses and gifts they have. The real glory to God is revealed in the verses
31-46. The manner of glorifying God is the progress and the prosperity of our
brothers because we share the blesses, the abundance of the one to the lack of others.
The compassion of Christ made happy those who suffered. Giving and sharing is
the glory of love is the glory of God.
CHAPTER
26
Chapter 26, Verse 6-13
Now when
Jesus was in Bethany, at the home of Simon the leper, 7 a woman came to Him
with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume, and she poured it on His head as
He reclined at the table. 8 But the disciples were indignant when they saw this
and said, “Why this waste? 9 For this perfume might have been sold for a high
price and the money given to the poor.” 10 but Jesus aware of this said to
them, “Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me. 11 “For
you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me.”12 “For when
she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.” 13
“Truly I say to you wherever this gospel is preached in whole world, what this
woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”
Even the disciples who lived
closely with Him were indignant. Love for the poor it was an excuse, the
indignation against God always comes from the evil. Today if we have the
presence of Christ we could be in the same position of the disciples, it is a
matter of spiritual maturity. To avoid this trap of indignation we have to
study the word of God and resemble Christ. When the tribulation comes then we
see how great the love is for our brothers and for God.
Chapter 26, Verse 25
And Judas, who was
betraying Him said, “Surly it is not I, Rabbi?” Jesus said to him, “You have
said it yourself.”
Hypocrisy is the greatest enemy
of man, the greatest demon that exists. God said woe to hypocrites. May God
forgive his children of the hypocrisy? Admittedly, it is foolish to plan other
things and to say other before God and supposedly hidden from Him. Judas seems
clear that, for nearly three years, he didn’t understand who the teacher is. He
did not believe in the powers conferred on Jesus, in order to open himself to God
and to be advised in anything. So he thought he can fool God, unfortunately
this happens to anyone who is possessed by spiritual frivolity. I wish to be
mature spiritually so our life is real and eternal. We know that God is not far
from our secret life, and blesses it. Lord revealed: But when you pray, go into your room and then you have shut your door
pray to your father who is in secret place and your father who is in secret
will reward you openly.
Chapter 26, Verse
29
“But I say to
you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when
I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”
The kingdom of heaven, the
kingdom of love, the kingdom of joy it is the new wine (our destiny) the
Father’s kingdom on earth. Jesus said: I
am with you always even to the end of the age. Which age? Evidently the age of sin. The Last
Supper will be repeated in complete different conditions in our life with the
spiritual bread and wine, because the vine yard (society) will change to people
of God (the new Jerusalem).
Chapter 26, Verse
31
Then Jesus said to them, “You will all fall
away because of Me this night, for it is written, ‘I will strike down the
shepherd and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered.’
The tempter (evil) is always
beside us, and according to our spiritual proceed stays beside or enters in us.
Intellectual seriousness, on the effort of cleanliness; will supply us with the
ability to avoid the tempter. Jesus is calling us but many of us reject the
invitation as corollary to the tempter to preponderate our life. Lack of
confidence to Christ, absence of the Holy Spirit, ignorance of the word of God
make the man vulnerable to evil. For the born again man who conceives that
everything works for good to those who love God the tempter and the transient
system of the world has no influence on him.
Chapter 26, Verse
33
But Peter said to Him “Even though all may
fall away because of You, I will never fall away.”
The excitement when there is no
awareness hides frivolous answers. If we will like never to be stumble by
anything we should have awareness of the spiritual world and its laws. We have
to spend many years on this effort to gain experience. The mercy and the wisdom
are both essential virtues that will prevent us from the scandals.
Chapter 26, Verse 39
And he went a little
beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is
possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.”
Prayer is the driving force
of everything in this age and in the future. Here, Lord reveals the weakness
which prevailed to the human nature. But the wisdom and the will of God
provided to Him strength to continue His beneficial to mankind deed. We must
never remove from our mind the omnipotence of God. We will knock continually
(the door of God) to help us to defeat the evil self within us and the spirits
who impinge in our lives. For we do not
wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers
against the rules of the darkness of this age.
Chapter 26, Verse
41
“Keep watching and praying
that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is
weak.”
The spirit captures the
wisdom of God. The spirit wants to adopt and follow the will of God but the
flesh is weak suffers is unable to follow the spirit, when this happens we need
vigil and prayer to improve the spiritual strength. The vigil is needed to
exploit the time to study the gospel and establish the will of God in us. The
prayer is needed for our spirit to form an alliance with the spirit of God to
be strengthen and able to submit the flesh and vivify it. If the spirit is a
unable to vivify the flesh we have to change spirit, to discover the spirit of
Christ which will vivify us. It is the
spirit who gives life the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you
are the spirit and they are life. So then those who are in flesh cannot please
God. But you are not in the flesh but in the spirit if indeed the Spirit of God
dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the spirit of Christ he is not His.
Under this Spirit of God for many years now the voice of god has create a
spiritual property which triggers the interest of people and we give it for
free through the internet (voice of god incorruptibility).
Chapter 26, verse 42
He went away again a
second time and prayed, saying, “My Father if this cannot pass away unless I
drink it, You will be done.”
Is normal when someone has
knowledge about the life and the properties possessed by God, He is not willing
to suffer the physical death, because God is life. But in front of God’s will
He accepts the mission to become an example, He goes to the lower place for to
raise the mankind, with no exemption of the colour or society, to the level of
God. Oh Jesus we have no words to thank you for the great sacrifice for the
huge mercy to all directions for the mankind You are unique. It is natural for
someone to hesitate in front of the death, is worth the sacrifice? We see today
men having many spiritual and material bless and they hesitate to give even a
smile. There are others who do something to God and they demand much more to
satisfy their personal ambitions proving that there is no God in them. I would
like to remind that we have to follow God with joy to the mountain Tabor and
with joy to Calvary.
Chapter 26, Verse
42
“Get up, let us be going;
behold, the one who betrays Me is at Hand!”
In this unique moment the
superiority of the spirit leaves us breathless. I am impressed by the decision
and the spiritual maturity, while, knowing that he is going to sacrifice
himself been prepared to go like to a normal event. Only the spirit of God can
create such a spiritual status in a man. Only with the spirit of God we can
practice the word of God. It is written;
Even though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will no
fear evil, for You are with me.
Chapter 26, Verse 49, 50
Immediately Judas went to
Jesus and said, “Hail, Rabbi!” and kissed Him. 50 And Jesus said to him,
“Friend does what you have come for.” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus
and seized Him.
The friend can be easily a
traitor even an enemy, but a real friend is given by God. Someone said there no
friends there are interests. It is not easy to make a friend it takes time and
patience. If someone finds a friend he finds God.
Chapter 26,
Verse 52
Then Jesus said to him,
“Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the swords shall
perish by the sword.”
Several times we stab with our
words, with our works, with our behavior, certainly, Peter, acted with
superficiality with a human logic to protect his teacher. But his teacher has
not the same principles the protection was coming directly from heaven. The
logic of man is for the earthy the wisdom of God is for the harmony of the
universe.
Chapter 26, Verse 67,
68
Then they spat in his
face and beat him with their fists; and others slapped Him, 68 and said,
“Prophesy to us, You Christ; who is the one who hit You?”
Today we have among us all
those who beat and slap Jesus, those who persistently stay in dry formalism and
fanaticism, and those who are unaware of the scriptures and have substantial
ignorance, willingly or unwillingly perpetuate this behavior.
Chapter 26, Verse
69-75
Now Peter was sitting
outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, “You too
were with Jesus the Galilean,” 70 But he denied it before them all, saying, “I
do not know what you are talking about.” 71 When he had gone out to gateway,
another servant-girl saw him and said to those who were there, “This man was
with Jesus of Nazareth,” 72 And again he denied it with an oath, I do not know
the man.” 73 A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter “Surly you
too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away.” 74 Then he began to curse and swear, “I do not
know the man!” And immediately a rooster
crowed. 75 And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, “Before a
rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and wept
bitterly.
Denial and curse is coming out
the hour of temptation from fear and mistrust to the creator. Many of us when
things are going smoothly glorify God, but when the first difficulty appears it
puzzles us and easily present refusal to God and to those who introduced God to
us. Because we don’t know that God is working through the good and the bad to
reborn evolve and bless us. Every man should reach the point (the spiritual
maturity) have the awareness of the events and when he comes in front of
difficult situations to have complete trust to God.
Chapter 27, Verse 3
Then when Judas, who had
betrayed Him, saw that he had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the
thirty pieces of silver to the chief priest and elders.
Judas did not repent he
regret, when he delivered Christ he realized that he lost the merchandise (the
cow he was milking) he traded (the cow) for thirty pieces of silver, he could
not forgive himself for the mistake, because he understood that Jesus was
priceless merchandise to himself. Later some others grab the opportunity and
until today they make money, erecting buildings, possessing real estate assets,
collecting precious metals elite gems and valuable gifts all in the name of
Christ. Repentance is awareness of the mistake, there is nothing common between
Peter’s repentance and Judas’s regret.
Chapter 27, Verse 13,
14
Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You
not hear how many things they testify against You?” And He did not answer him
with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed.
Pilate was marveled for the
manner that Jesus confronted the accusations. For the governor was a rare
phenomenon the untouchable character of Jesus. The confidence to Father’s
decision it is still an inexplicable behavior, the spiritual maturity has
adopted God’s will as bless. The time was coming and the death should be
defeated. Previously Jesus was proclaiming:
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you and say all kinds of evil
against you falsely for My sake, rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is
your reward in heaven for they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Chapter
27, Verse 20, 21
But
the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas and
to put Jesus to death. 21 But the governor said to them, “Which of the two do
you want me to release for you?” And they said “Barabbas.”
From then and until now
reigned Barabbas, which represents the ego, lie, cunning and stumble. Jesus
represents humbleness, wisdom, love and incorruptible life and He is until
today with the crown of thorns. Through the rebirth by the living faith and the
incorruptible life we will take off the crown of thorns. The deification of man
is the glory of God, voice of God prepares the path.
Chapter 27, Verse
24
When Pilate saw that he
was accomplishing nothing, but rather that a riot was starting, he took water
and washed his hands in front of the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this
Man’s blood; see to that yourselves.”
If the water could scour the
sin then no one should repent. In front of this situation Pilate should not
jeopardize his position confronting the power of people and the authority of
Cesar. We must set the truth above the interests because sooner or later we
will face the righteousness of God. If we do the will of God we have nothing to
be afraid. When God is testing us aiming our rebirth and at the time of
tribulation we go through with dignity let’s be sure that God will reward us in
hundredfold.
Chapter 27, Verse
29
And after twisting together
a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand; and
they knelt down before him and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”
Hail king of the Jews! What
is the difference between those who mock and those who make money? In the name
of Jesus!
Chapter 27, Verse
32
As they were coming out,
they found a man of Cyrene named Simon whom they pressed into service to bear
His cross.
Through the centuries God has always (the
man from Cyrene) ready to help us carry our cross. God with His omnipresence is
developing the world and establishes His kingdom.
Chapter 27, Verse 35
And when they had crucified Him, they
divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.
The scriptures are they which testify of Me. Jesus was obeying and
practicing the will of God through the prophetic word. He was seen himself in
every verse of Psalms and He took up on Him the obligation of proving that in
the word of God there is eternal life. We, in the same way, have to see
ourselves practicing the word of God because is written; You search the scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life.
Prophesy is a gift of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit never stopped working
among the people evolving and meliorating the man creating the new reborn man
of God.
Chapter 27, Verse
40
And saying, “You who were
going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If you
are the Son of God come down from the cross.”
Three days for God is three
millennium, we have entered to the third day (millennium). Is now the time for
the temple (our physical body) to be built eternally? Is now the time for the transfiguration?
Is now the time for the incorruptible everlasting life?
Chapter 27, Verse 41,
42
In the same way the chief
priests also, along with the scribes and elders were mocking Him and saying, 42
“He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He is the king of Israel; let Him now
come down from the cross and we will believe in Him.
God is not serving the unbelievers;
God has no need to prove His presence, woe to those who waiting for the
supernatural event to believe, the chief priests for those days and for
today.
Chapter 27, Verse
46
About the ninth hour Jesus
cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli lama sabachthani?” that is “My
God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?”
It is not an easy thing, life
to accept death, but for the fulfilment of the scriptures and the completion of
the mission God had to abandon the earthy dwelling. The Son couldn’t live
without the spirit of the Father and thus came the cry My God why You forsake
Me? Many men felt this abandonment in their lives but the abandonment is
intended to show the glory of God. Also many men under hard times and difficult
situations accuse others and the God, condemnation is not a rational behavior,
let us think God is training us to become perfect. The indignation has no place
within us. Our tribulation it doesn’t
lead us to death but to rebirth.
Chapter 27, Verse
48
Immediately one of them
ran, and taking a sponge he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed and
gave him to drink.
The lord asked for water and
they gave Him vinegar. The prophesy was by David; Psalms 69:21 They also gave me gall for my food, and for
my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Jesus asked for water not vinegar,
but the power of the prophesy reached the moment of fulfilment. Heaven and
earth may pass away however prophesy will be fulfilled especially if it comes
from Jesus.
Chapter 27, Verse
50
And Jesus cried out
again with a loud voice and yielded up His spirit.
Life is eternal does not die;
it was not simple to come out of the dwelling it needs a cry for to come out.
Never the less, Jesus put his life in ransom for many.
Chapter27, Verse
51
And behold the veil of
the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the
rocks were split.
The veil separates the holy of
holies from the main temple. In the holy of holies Moses was entering to
conciliate with God, after Moses were the priests. Jesus with His sacrifice on
the cross offered to all men the privilege to enter to the holy of holies, this
has not been conceived till today as a result people are still unable to see
God face to face and talk with Him in privet. Today the voice of god helps any
one, without partiality and discrimination, to enter to the holy of holies by
faith, as all, may become ministers of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle
which the Lord has created but not man. After all by the wisdom of God all shall
be taught by God. We don’t need mediators we are all able to conciliate with
God staying in the sanctuary by purification and cleanliness. Indispensable
elements are the decision, the repentance, the dedication and the rebirth.
Chapter
27, Verse 60, 61
And laid it in his own
new tomb which he had hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a large stone against
the entrance of the tomb and went away. 61 And Mary Magdalene was there and the
other Mary, sitting opposite the grave.
These two women served Him, they
have been beside Him for long time they couldn’t be absent in this difficult
moment. The love that God pure in us is always active and acts under any
circumstances. I have been through difficult moments in my life and I would
like to thank all those who helped me all those who various manners pull me out
of the stress. I thank you all from bottom of my heart. I pray to God to bless
them all, and I pray for those who indifferent to my problems or they came
against me, God bless them all.
CHAPTER 28
Chapter 28, Verse 2
And behold, a severe
earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and
came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.
Earthquake had occurred also
when Christ was on the cross and died. The earthquake in this case agitated much
more the spiritual world than the ground. Since then the spiritual world glorify God and
the angels cried out let us stand well. God glorified His Son who accomplished
righteousness in front of God and men in a verity of signs in the physical and
spiritual world. The example of Christ is giving us the privilege to apply
righteousness of God and become partners of His glory.
Chapter 28, Verse
3
And his appearance was
like lightning and his clothing as white as snow.
When someone is acquainted
with God his face from dark shadowed becomes bright. Today scientists reveal
that when a man has joy and peace has a brighten face with high mobility and
strong reproduction of the cells. Brightness of the body it’s a part of
transfiguration and God’s glory.
Chapter 28, Verse
6
“He is not here for He
has risen just as He said. Come; see the place where He was lying.”
The first announcement for
the resurrection of Christ it was to the women. Since then the woman is equal
to man; there is no male or female in front of God. The woman has equal rights
and obligations as a man we all are equals in God’s kingdom.
Chapter 28, Verse
10
Then Jesus said to them,
“Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and
there they will see Me.”
When such great events are happening
it is natural to occur fear, but this fear is covered by ineffable joy. This
ineffable joy creates the condition of life and leads us to spiritual heavens.
Then the reality comes and we have to adopt us according to everyday life but
with the presence of God within us, so this will be obvious to our environment.
Chapter 28, Verse
11-15
Now while they were on
their way some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief
priests all that had happened. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders
and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 and
said, “You are to say, and ‘His disciples came by night and stole Him away
while we were asleep.’ 14 “ And if this should come to the governor’s ears, we
will win him over and keep you out of trouble “ 15 And they took the money and
did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the
Jews, and is so this day.
This lie stays even today among
the Jews, but Christ has been preached to the nations by His disciples. This
cover will remain until the nations will be filled. At the end the Jews will comprehend the great
commission of Christ and will accept Him as the Messiah and as God.
Chapter 28, Verse 16,
17
But the eleven disciples
proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. 17 When they
saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.
Those who hesitate are all
those who cannot comprehend the great mission of Christ and the way of
salvation which God have prepared for the man. I wish to all brothers who
participate to the voice of god to adopt the doctrine of Christ without
hesitation and vitalize the gospel today.
Chapter 28, Verse
18
And Jesus came up and
spoke to them saying, “All the authority has been given to Me in heaven and on
earth.”
Everyone gets a small part of
spiritual powers, but when he is an approved child of light, through various
temptation and trials, he will obtain power to everything. God has many gifts
to all his children to give in order to become heirs of God joint heirs with
Christ and partakers of His glory.
Chapter 28, Verse 19,
20
“Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the father and the
Son and the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I commanded you;
and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Go therefore and make
disciples of all the nations, this also creates a spiritual education through
people and for the students insures sanctification. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified
by the truth. Three are the persons who created the whole creation, the
materialistic world we see and the spiritual that we don’t see. In the name of
the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit we must be united and baptized. The
baptism in the water it symbolize repentance the baptism in spirit it is the
rebirth. Study the principles of the Triune God through the gospel. Since we
adopt the principle and conceive the wisdom of God we proceed for the
establishment of the kingdom within us and around us. But whoever does and teaches them he shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven. The man who does those things shall live by them. AMEN.
