Jevanðelje po Mateju 6

Studie

   

1 Pazite da pravdu svoju ne činite pred ljudima da vas oni vide; inače platu nemate od Oca svog koji je na nebesima.

2 Kad dakle daješ milostinju, ne trubi pred sobom, kao što čine licemeri po zbornicama i po ulicama da ih hvale ljudi. Zaista vam kažem: primili su platu svoju.

3 A ti kad činiš milostinju, da ne zna levica tvoja šta čini desnica tvoja.

4 Tako da bude milostinja tvoja tajna; i Otac tvoj koji vidi tajno, platiće tebi javno.

5 I kad se moliš Bogu, ne budi kao licemeri, koji rado po zbornicama i na raskršću po ulicama stoje i mole se da ih vide ljudi. Zaista vam kažem da su primili platu svoju.

6 A ti kad se moliš, uđi u klet svoju, i zatvorivši vrata svoja, pomoli se Ocu svom koji je u tajnosti; i Otac tvoj koji vidi tajno, platiće tebi javno.

7 A kad se molite, ne govorite mnogo ko neznabošci; jer oni misle da će za mnoge reči svoje biti uslišeni.

8 Vi dakle ne budite kao oni; jer zna Otac vaš šta vam treba pre molitve vaše;

9 Ovako dakle molite se vi: Oče naš koji si na nebesima, da se sveti ime Tvoje;

10 Da dođe carstvo Tvoje; da bude volja Tvoja i na zemlji kao na nebu;

11 Hleb naš potrebni daj nam danas;

12 I oprosti nam dugove naše kao i mi što opraštamo dužnicima svojim;

13 I ne navedi nas u napast; no izbavi nas oda zla. Jer je Tvoje carstvo, i sila, i slava va vek. Amin.

14 Jer ako opraštate ljudima grehe njihove, oprostiće i vama Otac vaš nebeski.

15 Ako li ne opraštate ljudima grehe njihove, ni Otac vaš neće oprostiti vama grehe vaše.

16 A kad postite, ne budite žalosni kao licemeri; jer oni načine bleda lica svoja da ih vide ljudi gde poste. Zaista vam kažem da su primili platu svoju.

17 A ti kad postiš, namaži glavu svoju, i lice svoje umij,

18 Da te ne vide ljudi gde postiš, nego Otac tvoj koji je u tajnosti; i Otac tvoj koji vidi tajno, platiće tebi javno.

19 Ne sabirajte sebi blago na zemlji, gde moljac i rđa kvari, i gde lupeži potkopavaju i kradu;

20 Nego sabirajte sebi blago na nebu, gde ni moljac ni rđa ne kvari, i gde lupeži ne potkopavaju i ne kradu.

21 Jer gde je vaše blago, onde će biti i srce vaše.

22 Sveća je telu oko. Ako dakle bude oko tvoje zdravo, sve će telo tvoje svetlo biti.

23 Ako li oko tvoje kvarno bude, sve će telo tvoje tamno biti. Ako je dakle videlo što je u tebi tama, a kamoli tama?

24 Niko ne može dva gospodara služiti: jer ili će na jednog mrzeti, a drugog ljubiti; ili jednom voleti, a za drugog ne mariti. Ne možete Bogu služiti i mamoni.

25 Zato vam kažem: ne brinite se za život svoj, šta ćete jesti, ili šta ćete piti; ni za telo svoje, u šta ćete se obući. Nije li život pretežniji od hrane, i telo od odela?

26 Pogledajte na ptice nebeske kako ne seju, niti žnju, ni sabiraju u žitnice; pa Otac vaš nebeski hrani ih. Niste li vi mnogo pretežniji od njih?

27 A ko od vas brinući se može primaknuti rastu svom lakat jedan?

28 I za odelo što se brinete? Pogledajte na ljiljane u polju kako rastu; ne trude se niti predu.

29 Ali ja vam kažem da ni Solomun u svoj svojoj slavi ne obuče se kao jedan od njih.

30 A kad travu u polju, koja danas jeste, a sutra se u pećbaca, Bog tako odeva, a kamoli vas, maloverni?

31 Ne brinite se dakle govoreći: Šta ćemo jesti, ili, šta ćemo piti, ili, čim ćemo se odenuti?

32 Jer sve ovo neznabošci ištu; a zna i Otac vaš nebeski da vama treba sve ovo.

33 Nego ištite najpre carstvo Božje, i pravdu Njegovu, i ovo će vam se sve dodati.

34 Ne brinite se dakle za sutra; jer sutra brinuće se za se. Dosta je svakom danu zla svog.

Apocalypse Revealed # 81

81. "'And have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary.'" This symbolizes their effort and work in acquiring for themselves and also teaching the constituents of religion and its accompanying doctrine.

The name of Jehovah or the Lord in the Word does not mean His name, but everything by which He is worshiped. And because He is worshiped in accordance with doctrine in the church, His name means everything pertaining to doctrine, and in the broadest sense, everything pertaining to religion.

These are the meanings of the name of Jehovah, and the reason is that in heaven the only names found are ones that reflect a person's character, and God's character includes everything by which He is worshiped.

One who is not aware of this symbolic meaning of a name in the Word can understand it only as a name; and in this alone there is nothing pertaining to worship and religion.

[2] Someone who keeps in mind, therefore, this symbolic meaning of "the name of Jehovah" when it is mentioned in the Word, will of himself understand its symbolic meaning in the following passages:

In that day you will say: "Confess to Jehovah, call upon His name." (Isaiah 12:4)

...O Jehovah, we have waited for You; the desire of our soul is for Your name... ...by You we make mention of Your name. (Isaiah 26:8, 13)

From the rising of the sun My name shall be called on. (Isaiah 41:25)

...from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, My name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered to My name...; for My name shall be great among the nations... ...you profane (My name) when you say, "The table of Jehovah is defiled...." But you sneer at (My name)..., when you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick. (Malachi 1:11-13)

...all peoples walk in the name of their god, but we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God... (Micah 4:5)

Everyone who is called by My name, for My glory I have created him, I have formed him... (Isaiah 43:7)

You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain; ...Jehovah will not hold him innocent who takes His name in vain. (Deuteronomy 5:11)

They were to worship Jehovah in one place, where He should put His name (Deuteronomy 12:5, 11, 13-14, 18; 16:2, 6, 11, 15-16). And so on in many other places. Who does not see that the name in them does not mean simply a name?

[3] It is the same with the name of the Lord in the New Testament, as in the following places:

(Jesus said,) "You will be hated by all because of My name. (Matthew 10:22; cf. 24:9-10)

...where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. (Matthew 18:20)

Everyone who has left houses, brothers, sisters... for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and... eternal life. (Matthew 19:29)

As many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become children of God, to those who believe in His name. (John 1:12)

...many believed in His name... (John 2:23)

He who does not believe is judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. (John 3:17-18)

...believing (they will) have life in His name. (John 20:31)

Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! (Matthew 21:9; 23:39; Luke 13:35, cf. 19:38)

[4] In respect to His humanity the Lord is the name of the Father, as witness the following:

Father, glorify Your name. (John 12:28)

Hallowed be Your name (and) Your kingdom come. (Matthew 6:9-10)

See also Exodus 23:20-21. 3

"Name" in the case of other people refers to a quality of worship, as in the following:

(A shepherd) calls his own sheep by (their) name... (John 10:3)

You have a few names in Sardis... (Revelation 3:4)

I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem..., and My new name. (Revelation 3:12)

And the like elsewhere.

It can be seen from this now that the statement, "You have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary," symbolizes their effort and work in acquiring for themselves and also teaching the constituents of religion and its accompanying doctrine.
