Explanation of Matthew 5:2
原作者： New Christian Bible Study Staff
The meaning of this verse is pretty straightforward, but look at the language! Is it necessary to say that Jesus opened his mouth to speak? Isn’t it redundant to say He “taught them, saying”? Couldn’t the whole verse be simply, “And he said”?
The fact is, though, that the spiritual meaning reinforces the importance of what the Lord was about to say. The “mouth” in the Bible represents active, concrete thought and logic, and to “say” something has to do with sharing truth. From the “mountain” of His love, then, the Lord was putting truth into vivid, visual, memorable terms so that people could grasp and remember them.
2 Timothy第1章:10-11
10
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11
Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
