Matthew 7:21-29

 

Matthew 7:21-29

 

Matthew 4:23-5:2 “And JESUS went about all Galilee teaching in their Synagogues, preaching The Gospel of The Kingdom and Healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. Then His Fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments and those who were demon-possessed and  epileptics; and He Healed them all. Great multitudes followed Him – from Galilee and Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and beyond Jordan. And seeing the multitudes He went up on a mountain and when He was seated His disciples came to Him; then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:”

 

:21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘LORD, LORD,’ shall enter The Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does The Will of My Father in Heaven.

Here in the Sermon On The Mount, JESUS is making a reference to the End of Days – The Great White Throne Judgment in Revelation 20:11-15.

 

:22-23 Many will say to Me in That Day, ‘LORD, LORD,  have we not prophesied in Your Name, cast out demons in your Name, and done many wonders in Your Name?’ And then I Will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me you who practice lawlessness (iniquity)!’

This is the scary part – these people are doing mighty miracles and works in JESUS’ Name, that can only be done by The Power of The SPIRIT of GOD! Yet, JESUS is calling them sinners! JESUS is talking to the religious who believe they are saved and serving GOD. (Matthew 23:1-36 [:27-28]; Luke 9:49-50; Philippians 1:15-18)

 

:24-25 Therefore whoever hears these saying of mine and does them (Mark 4:21-25) I will liken to a Wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock (1 Corinthians 3:9-15).

 

:26-27 But everyone who hears these sayings of mine and does not do them, will be like a foolish man (remember only GOD can judge a person as a fool; Matthew 5:21-22) who built his house on the sand; and the rain descended, the floods came and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell and great was its fall.

 

:28-29 And so it was, when JESUS had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His Teaching, for He Taught them as One having Authority and not as the scribes.” (Genesis 1:1-3; John 1:1; JESUS is the Word and the source of Life.)
