Jevanðelje po Mateju 5

Studie

   

1 A kad On vide narod, pope se na goru, i sede, i pristupiše Mu učenici Njegovi.

2 I otvorivši usta svoja učaše ih govoreći:

3 Blago siromašnima duhom, jer je njihovo carstvo nebesko;

4 Blago onima koji plaču, jer će se utešiti;

5 Blago krotkima, jer će naslediti zemlju;

6 Blago gladnima i žednima pravde, jer će se nasititi;

7 Blago milostivima, jer će biti pomilovani;

8 Blago onima koji su čistog srca, jer će Boga videti;

9 Blago onima koji mir grade, jer će se sinovi Božji nazvati;

10 Blago prognanima pravde radi, jer je njihovo carstvo nebesko.

11 Blago vama ako vas uzasramote i usprogone i kažu na vas svakojake rđave reči lažući, mene radi.

12 Radujte se i veselite se, jer je velika plata vaša na nebesima, jer su tako progonili proroke pre vas.

13 Vi ste so zemlji; ako so obljutavi, čim će se osoliti? Ona većneće biti nizašta, osim da se prospe napolje i da je ljudi pogaze.

14 Vi ste videlo svetu; ne može se grad sakriti kad na gori stoji.

15 Niti se užiže sveća i meće pod sud nego na svećnjak, te svetli svima koji su u kući.

16 Tako da se svetli vaše videlo pred ljudima, da vide vaša dobra dela, i slave Oca vašeg koji je na nebesima.

17 Ne mislite da sam ja došao da pokvarim zakon ili proroke: nisam došao da pokvarim, nego da ispunim.

18 Jer vam zaista kažem: dokle nebo i zemlja stoji, neće nestati ni najmanje slovce ili jedna titla iz zakona dok se sve ne izvrši.

19 Ako ko pokvari jednu od ovih najmanjih zapovesti i nauči tako ljude, najmanji nazvaće se u carstvu nebeskom; a ko izvrši i nauči, taj će se veliki nazvati u carstvu nebeskom.

20 Jer vam kažem da ako ne bude veća pravda vaša nego književnika i fariseja, nećete ući u carstvo nebesko.

21 Čuli ste kako je kazano starima: Ne ubij; jer ko ubije, biće kriv sudu.

22 A ja vam kažem da će svaki koji se gnevi na brata svog nizašta, biti kriv sudu; a ako li ko reče bratu svom: Raka! Biće kriv skupštini; a ko reče: Budalo! Biće kriv paklu ognjenom.

23 Zato dakle ako prineseš dar svoj k oltaru, i onde se opomeneš da brat tvoj ima nešto na te,

24 Ostavi onde dar svoj pred oltarom, i idi pre te se pomiri s bratom svojim, pa onda dođi i prinesi dar svoj.

25 Miri se sa suparnikom svojim brzo, dok si na putu s njim, da te suparnik ne preda sudiji, a sudija da te ne preda sluzi i u tamnicu da te ne stave.

26 Zaista ti kažem: nećeš izaći odande dok ne daš do poslednjeg dinara.

27 Čuli ste kako je kazano starima: Ne čini preljube.

28 A ja vam kažem da svaki koji pogleda na ženu sa željom, većje učinio preljubu u srcu svom.

29 A ako te oko tvoje desno sablažnjava, iskopaj ga i baci od sebe: jer ti je bolje da pogine jedan od udova tvojih negoli sve telo tvoje da bude bačeno u pakao.

30 I ako te desna ruka tvoja sablažnjava, odseci je i baci od sebe: jer ti je bolje da pogine jedan od udova tvojih negoli sve telo tvoje da bude bačeno u pakao.

31 Tako je kazano: Ako ko pusti ženu svoju, da joj da knjigu raspusnu.

32 A ja vam kažem da svaki koji pusti ženu svoju, osim za preljubu, navodi je te čini preljubu; i koji puštenicu uzme preljubu čini.

33 Još ste čuli kako je kazano starima: Ne kuni se krivo, a ispuni šta si se Gospodu zakleo.

34 A ja vam kažem: ne kunite se nikako: ni nebom, jer je presto Božji;

35 Ni zemljom, jer je podnožje nogama Njegovim; ni Jerusalimom, jer je grad velikog Cara.

36 Ni glavom svojom ne kuni se, jer ne možeš dlake jedne bele ili crne učiniti.

37 Dakle neka bude vaša reč: da - da; ne - ne; a šta je više od ovog, oda zla je.

38 Čuli ste da je kazano: Oko za oko, i zub za zub.

39 A ja vam kažem da se ne branite oda zla, nego ako te ko udari po desnom tvom obrazu, obrni mu i drugi;

40 I koji hoće da se sudi s tobom i košulju tvoju da uzme, podaj mu i haljinu.

41 I ako te potera ko jedan sat, idi s njime dva.

42 Koji ište u tebe, podaj mu; i koji hoće da mu uzajmiš, ne odreci mu.

43 Čuli ste da je kazano: Ljubi bližnjeg svog, i mrzi na neprijatelja svog.

44 A ja vam kažem: ljubite neprijatelje svoje, blagosiljajte one koji vas kunu, činite dobro onima koji na vas mrze i molite se Bogu za one koji vas gone;

45 Da budete sinovi Oca svog koji je na nebesima; jer On zapoveda svom suncu, te obasjava i zle i dobre, i daje dažd pravednima i nepravednima.

46 Jer ako ljubite one koji vas ljube, kakvu platu imate? Ne čine li to i carinici?

47 I ako Boga nazivate samo svojoj braći, šta odviše činite? Ne čine li tako i neznabošci?

48 Budite vi dakle savršeni, kao što je savršen Otac vaš nebeski.

285. We are told they "will reign upon the earth" because the earth here and elsewhere means the Lord's church in heaven and on earth. The church in both worlds is the Lord's kingdom. Therefore, lest anyone suppose that people who are redeemed by the Lord all become kings and priests who will reign upon the earth, it is important that we demonstrate from the Word that the earth or land symbolizes the church. This can be seen from the following passages:

Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes (the earth) waste, and will overturn its surface... The land shall be entirely emptied... The (habitable) earth will mourn and... be turned upside down... The earth will be profaned under its inhabitants... Therefore a curse shall devour the earth... and... the inhabitants of the earth shall be burned, and few men will be left... ...in the midst of the land... it shall be like the stripping of an olive tree... ...the cataracts on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth are shaken. The earth is violently broken, the earth is utterly split open, the earth is shaken exceedingly. The earth reels to and fro like a drunkard... (Isaiah 24:1-23.)

[2] The lion has come up from his thicket... to make your land desolate... I beheld the earth (when) lo, it was empty and void... ...Jehovah has said, "The whole land shall be desolate... For this shall the earth mourn... (Jeremiah 4:7, 23-28)

How long will the land mourn...? The whole land is made desolate, because no one lays it to heart. (Jeremiah 12:4, 11-13)

The earth mourns and languishes, Lebanon is shamed and withered away. (Isaiah 33:9)

Its land shall become burning pitch...(and) it shall lie waste. (Isaiah 34:9-10)

...I have heard from the Lord... a destruction decreed upon the whole earth. (Isaiah 28:22)

Behold, the day of Jehovah comes... to lay the land desolate..., and the earth will be shaken out of its place... (Isaiah 13:9-13)

The earth shook and trembled, and the foundations of the mountains quaked... (Psalms 18:7)

...we will not fear when the earth is transformed... When He uttered His voice, the earth melted. (Psalms 46:2-3, 6, 8)

Have you not understood the foundations of the earth? (Isaiah 40:21)

O God, You have forsaken us... You have made the earth tremble...; heal its breaches, for it is shaken. (Psalms 60:1-2)

[3] The earth and all its inhabitants will melt away; I will firm up its pillars. (Psalms 75:3)

Woe to a land overshadowed by wings... Go, ...messengers, to... a nation... trodden down, whose land rivers have despoiled. (Isaiah 18:1-2)

By the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts the land is darkened... (Isaiah 9:19)

...you will be a delightful land... (Malachi 3:12)

...I have given You as a covenant of the people to restore the earth... Sing, O heavens! And exult, O earth! (Isaiah 49:8, 13)

I shall not see Yah... in the land of the living. (Isaiah 38:11)

...who caused terror in the land of the living. (Ezekiel 32:23-27)

I would not have believed I would see the goodness... in the land of life. (Psalms 27:13)

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. (Matthew 5:5)

I am Jehovah, who makes all things, who stretches out the heavens alone, who spreads out the earth by Myself. (Isaiah 44,24, cf. Zechariah 12:1, Jeremiah 10:11-13; 51:15, Psalm. 136:6)

Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation... ...thus said Jehovah, who created the heavens..., who formed the earth... (Isaiah 45:8, 12, 18-19)

...behold, I create new heavens and a new earth... (Isaiah 65:17, cf. 66:22)

And in many other places as well, which, if I were to cite them, would fill a page.

[4] The earth or land symbolizes the church for the reason that it very often means the land of Canaan, which is where the church was. That is the heavenly Canaan. Moreover, when the earth or land is mentioned, angels, being spiritual, do not think of the earth or land, but of the human race dwelling upon it and its spiritual state; and its spiritual state is the state of the church.

The earth or land also has an opposite meaning, and in that sense it symbolizes damnation, since when the church is not present in a person, damnation is. The earth or land is mentioned in that sense in Isaiah 14:12; 21:9; 26:19, 21; 29:4; 47:1; 63:6, Lamentations 2:2, 10, Ezekiel 26:20; 32:24, Numbers 16:29-33; 26:10, and elsewhere.
