Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 6:19-24

They Must Lay Up Their Treasure In Heaven As They Cannot Serve God and Mammon (6:19-24). Having dealt with the question of what His disciples’ attitude is to be towards ‘religious’ activity, namely charitable giving, prayer and fasting, and the need in each case for them to be exercised in secrecy in order that they may bring glory to God and not men, and may bring them into a close relationship with their heavenly Father, Jesus now moves on to more ‘mundane’ matters, attitude towards worldly... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 6:19-34

Three (or Four) Commands Which Concern The Attitude That His Disciples Should Take Up With Regard To The World Emphasising The Taking Up Of A Positive Spiritual Attitude And The Eschewing Of A Worldly Negative Attitude (6:19-7:12). Having described how His disciples are to behave towards the Law (Matthew 5:21-48), and having considered their attitude towards charitable giving, prayer and fasting (Matthew 6:1-18), Jesus now turns to consider: 1). What they should do about material wealth... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 6:19-34

Matthew 6:19-Nahum : . True Righteousness in Relation to Wealth.— The Sermon here passes from the shortcomings of the Scribes and Pharisees. There are scattered parallels to this section in Lk. Matthew 6:19-Ecclesiastes : . Treasure ( Luke 12:33 f.).— Jesus has already spoken of earthly and heavenly reward; here the theme is earthly and heavenly wealth. Note the Hebraic parallelism and tautology in this thumbnail sketch of Oriental wealth, consisting largely of garments ( cf. James 5:2 f.).—... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 6:19-21

A treasure (according to the notation of the word) signifieth something laid up for tomorrow, for future time; more largely it signifieth any riches, or what we judge a valuable portion. Make not the things of the earth your riches, or portion, with reference to future time; for all the riches of the earth are perishing, contemptible things; silver and gold is what rust will corrupt, clothes are what moths will spoil, any other things are subject to casualties, and, amongst others, to the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 6:19-24

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 6:19-20. Lay not up … lay up. An instance of “the idiom of exaggerated contrast.” A literal compliance with the negative half of this precept would discourage thrift, destroy commerce, and deprive the world of the manifold benefits of capital. It is plain that our Lord, in contrasting the two kinds of treasures, uses this emphatic idiom in order to point out in the most forcible way the kind which is beyond measure the more important (J. G. Carleton). Rust.—Money was... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 6:19-21

Matthew 6:19-21 When Christ said these words, were there young people standing by? If so, they must have sounded very strangely in their ears. For youth does not realize that life on earth grows pale, nor in the midst of its treasures dreams that the day will come when they shall fail. But on the ears of older men and women His words fell with a profound meaning. They struck home to that which is bitterest in human life; more sharply felt, because more constant, than even the special sorrows... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 6:1-34

Tonight let's take a look at Matthew, chapter six. We are in the section of the book of Matthew that is commonly called the Sermon on the Mount because it was delivered to the disciples of Jesus on the mountainside there above the Sea of Galilee. "Seeing the multitudes, he went into a mountain: and he was set, his disciples came unto him: and he opened his mouth and he taught them, saying," ( Matthew 5:1-2 ).So the first thing we note is that this Sermon on the Mount is not for general world... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 6:1-34

Matthew 6:1 . Take heed that ye do not your alms before men. It is a dispute whether alms or righteousness be the true reading. The old copies had righteousness. Chrysostom in one place has righteousness, in another alms. Daniel said to Nebuchadnezzar, Break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Daniel 2:27. Righteousness is the sense, alms the gloss. The jews often described alms by the former term; and alms is allowed to be one branch of the... read more
