It is the longest and fullest continued discourse of our Saviour that we have upon record in all the gospels. It is a practical discourse; there is not much of the credenda of Christianity in it - the things to be believed, but it is wholly taken up with the agenda - the things to be done; these Christ began with in his preaching; for if any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God. The circumstances of the sermon being accounted for (Mat 5:1, Mat 5:2), the sermon itself follows, the scope of which is, not to fill our heads with notions, but to guide and regulate our practice. I. He proposes blessedness as the end, and gives us the character of those who are entitled to blessedness (very different from the sentiments of a vain world), in eight beatitudes, which may justly be called paradoxes (Mat 5:3-12). II. He prescribes duty as the way, and gives us standing rules of that duty. He directs his disciples, 1. To understand what they are - the salt of the earth, and the lights of the world (Mat 5:13-16). 2. To understand what they have to do - they are to be governed by the moral law. Here is, (1.) A general ratification of the law, and a recommendation of it to us, as our rule (Mat 5:17-20). (2.) A particular rectification of divers mistakes; or, rather, a reformation of divers wilful, gross corruptions, which the scribes and Pharisees had introduced in their exposition of the law; and an authentic explication of divers branches which most needed to be explained and vindicated (Mat 5:20). Particularly, here is an explication, [1.] Of the sixth commandment, which forbids murder (Mat 5:21-26). [2.] Of the seventh commandment, against adulter…

وَمَتَى وَقَفْتُمْ تُصَلُّونَ، فَاغْفِرُوا إِنْ كَانَ لَكُمْ عَلَى أَحَدٍ شَيْءٌ، لِكَيْ يَغْفِرَ لَكُمْ أَيْضًا أَبُوكُمُ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ زَّلاَتِكُمْ.
فَاتْرُكْ هُنَاكَ قُرْبَانَكَ قُدَّامَ الْمَذْبَحِ، وَاذْهَبْ أَوَّلاً اصْطَلِحْ مَعَ أَخِيكَ، وَحِينَئِذٍ تَعَالَ وَقَدِّمْ قُرْبَانَكَ.
فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ:«انْظُرْ أَنْ لاَ تَقُولَ لأَحَدٍ. بَلِ اذْهَبْ أَرِ نَفْسَكَ لِلْكَاهِنِ، وَقَدِّمِ الْقُرْبَانَ الَّذِي أَمَرَ بِهِ مُوسَى شَهَادَةً لَهُمْ».
أَيُّهَا الْجُهَّالُ وَالْعُمْيَانُ! أَيُّمَا أَعْظَمُ: أَلْقُرْبَانُ أَمِ الْمَذْبَحُ الَّذِي يُقَدِّسُ الْقُرْبَانَ؟
فَوَقَفَ زَكَّا وَقَالَ لِلرَّبِّ:«هَا أَنَا يَارَبُّ أُعْطِي نِصْفَ أَمْوَالِي لِلْمَسَاكِينِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ وَشَيْتُ بِأَحَدٍ أَرُدُّ أَرْبَعَةَ أَضْعَافٍ».
فَقَالَ صَمُوئِيلُ: «هَلْ مَسَرَّةُ الرَّبِّ بِالْمُحْرَقَاتِ وَالذَّبَائِحِ كَمَا بِاسْتِمَاعِ صَوْتِ الرَّبِّ؟ هُوَذَا الاسْتِمَاعُ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الذَّبِيحَةِ، وَالإِصْغَاءُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ شَحْمِ الْكِبَاشِ.
«إِنِّي أُرِيدُ رَحْمَةً لاَ ذَبِيحَةً، وَمَعْرِفَةَ اللهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مُحْرَقَاتٍ.
ذِكْرًا تَذْكُرُ نَفْسِي وَتَنْحَنِي فِيَّ.
ثُمَّ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِشِمْعِي: «أَنْتَ عَرَفْتَ كُلَّ الشَّرِّ الَّذِي عَلِمَهُ قَلْبُكَ الَّذِي فَعَلْتَهُ لِدَاوُدَ أَبِي، فَلْيَرُدَّ الرَّبُّ شَرَّكَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ.
لِكَيْ تَتَذَكَّرِي فَتَخْزَيْ وَلاَ تَفْتَحِي فَاكِ بَعْدُ بِسَبَبِ خِزْيِكِ، حِينَ أَغْفِرُ لَكِ كُلَّ مَا فَعَلْتِ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ».
