(Matthew 7: 28-29)Introduction.Jesus had ended his message, his sermon, and Matthew closes this section by adding a sort of eyewitness comment on how the people received it sayings, that the people were astonished at his teaching for he taught them as one having authority and not as the other religious leaders of his day did. I want to close of the time we have spent together over the last 45 days in fact, studying the Sermon on the Mount by looking at these two final verses, because they are really pertinent to not only what’s being said about the wise and the foolish man, but to his whole message.Although the bulk of the sermon on the mount is addressed to disciples, the Lord does not forget the fact that there were unbelievers present, and it was apparently these unbelievers who were astonished at what he said. The word translated astonished means to be struck like a coin, “impacted is a good translation”, to be amazed to be astonished.  But that statement raises the question, why were they so awestruck by not only what he said, but how he said it?Who were the ScribesJesus, in approaching it this way, demanded two things. Firstly, he demanded that we should listen. One of the great difficulties which faces people today is a simple fact that most people do not know what Jesus said or what even the Bible teaches. They don’t recognise that he has to be something that they need not pay any attention to. In truth, the very first step towards the Christian life is simply giving Jesus the opportunity to be heard. SeconSupport the showFollow and support me on Patreon.Jeremy McCandless | Creating Podcasts and Bible Study Resources | PatreonTo receive my weekly newsletter and keep up to date with all five of my podcasts, subscribe at:Jeremy McCandless | SubstackCheck out my other Podcasts.The Bible Project: https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.comHistory of the Christian Church: https://thehistoryofthechristianchurch.buzzsprout.comThe L.I.F.E.

Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them. (Matthew 7: 15-20)There’s an old saying that says if it looks like a duck, and waddles like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, then it’s probably a duck. But suppose I were to tell you that Jesus that’s not always true. Suppose I also told you that when he said that what he had in mind was religious people, people who held positions whereby they were seen to spoke out about God said or thought, what we would today call preachers. Not all preachers that look like preachers, they may look like preachers, and they may talk like preachers, but are they really messengers of God. This is why he tells us to beware of false prophets.Beware False ProphetsYou will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Good tree bears good fruit, and a bad tree bears bad fruit.
