Mateo 12:21-45 RVA

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:31

Matthew 12:31 I. First, it may be said what the unpardonable sin is not. It cannot be any sin from which men ever have repented; for wherever God has given repentance He has given pardon; no sin, therefore, which has ever been repented of is the unpardonable sin. And yet what very awful and exceeding sins have been pardoned or might have been pardoned. No course even of sin, no act of deadly sin, following even upon a course of sin, if it admits the pang of penitence, shuts out from pardon.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:31-32

Matthew 12:31-32 The "speaking" or blaspheming against the Holy Ghost is the sign of a very rancorous and very violent dislike in the heart against Him; and it is not the word taken abstractedly, but that evil and determinate state of heart which that word proves which constitutes the "sin against the Holy Ghost." I. We have in the Bible four separate sins against the Holy Ghost laid out in a certain order and progression. (1) First, there is the grieving of the Holy Ghost. This occurs when you... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:33

Matthew 12:33 I. It is possible to ascertain our true state and character. What plainer evidence of this could be desired than these words, "The tree is known by his fruit"? As certainly as the tree is known by his fruit may we know our spiritual state and character if we will only be honest, nor act like the merchant who, suspecting his affairs to be verging on brankruptcy, shuts his eyes to the danger, takes no stock, and strikes no balance. II. Our religious profession is not always a test... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:36-37

Matthew 12:36-37 Idle words may, in a very general way, be defined as words that issue out of a condition of idleness fruitless, useless hours. The care of speech is eminently a fit training which the Gospel ordains. I. There are a great many words that are like dust-cloths. They remove grime; they drive away unpleasant thought and feeling; they change the temperament. There are a great many things in conversation that tend to make men cheerful, that tend to put springs under the waggon of life... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:37

Matthew 12:37 Consider some of the ways by which words are used that minister to our condemnation. I. At the head of this list we must put profane swearing. II. Another way in which we expose ourselves to God's displeasure is by what St. Paul calls "foolish talking." III. Another example of the improper use of the gift of speech is an indulgence in the petulant and complaining language which so often destroys the harmony of private life. IV. A fourth illustration of our text is found in the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:38

Matthew 12:38 In every age, and perhaps more as the world grows older, men's hearts are apt to utter the same wish. The mind, afloat, as it were, on a vast sea, needs, and with reason, a sure anchor. Man cannot tell us of what man has never seen. We crave for the very heaven itself to be opened; we crave to see the light in which God dwells; we crave to hear the voice of Him to whom all things are known, who can neither be deceived nor deceive. I. This feeling is in its own nature nothing... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:38-43

Matthew 12:38-43 Truth through and by life. Consider in what respects Christ was greater than Solomon. I. The Proverbs could not well be spared from the Bible nor dropped out of the life of the world. They are of highest use, and ought to be read and re-read, for their wisdom, their broad interpretation of life, and their ethical value. If they were heeded and obeyed they would bring the individual, the family, the community, the nation into a state of ideal perfection. Their lack is that they... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:39-40

Matthew 12:39-40 Jonah being spoken of in the text as a type of Christ, let us consider that part of his history which is typical. It is contained in the first and second chapters, and presents us with the following pictures: I. Man shunning God's presence. Like those mariners who, leaving the sacred soil which was the place of God's sanctuary and the scene of God's revelations, launched forth upon the waste salt billows and made for the great heathen mart of Tarshish, so went man forth from... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:45

Matthew 12:45 Growing Worse. I. It must be remembered that we all begin with certain faults different persons with different faults. What we mean by a man's character getting worse is that these faults in us strengthen and increase. But is it an unaccountable and strange process, that by which faults grow? By no means. It is the simplest process in the world; it is simply by repeating a faulty action or humour time after time. We have only to go on in the same way, and, at the end of the time,... read more

DISCOURSE: 1352THE COMPASSION OF CHRIST TOWARDS THE WEAKMatthew 12:18-21. Behold, my servant whom I have chosen; my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles. He shall not strive nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory. And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.ONE might gather almost as... read more
