Eagle Picks Up Boy
Is Caught in Struggle
The so called Sermon on the Mount
Is not Indeed a sermon but a proclama-
tion of the principles snd laws which
shall obtain In Christ’s kingdom when
It shall be established on the earth In
applying the teachings of Matthew V7
two errors should be avoided namely
that of the legalist who makes these
principles the hard and fast standard
of life for the believer today and also
that of the one who denies that the
principles or laws of the Kingdom are
binding upon believers Believers have
practically the same relation to the
Sermon on the Mount that they have
to the Ten Commandments While
free from their demands as law they
find delight in retaining them as ex-
pressions of God's holy law and thus
rejoice In the consciousness that Christ
has met all the requirement thereof
and that their standing before God 1a
In Him
I False Prays r (vv fi-T)
1 This consists in one praying to
be seen and heard of men (v 5) To
go through the act of praying with
such an object Is to play the hypocrite
Many of the prayers uttered In the
public sanctuary are false for there la
more consideration of what the people
think than of what God thinks In
prayer the soul Is dealing with God
Therefore engaging In It to attract
men's attention la blasphemy Men
who thus pray get a reward but not
from God They pray to get notice
from men and they get such notice
2 Vain Repetition (tv 7 8) This
does not mean that we should ask but
once for the thing desired for we have
example of Christ and Haul praying
three times for the same thing (MatL
26:39-24 II Cor 12:7 8) but rather
It mean the use of meaningless repe-
titions the meaningless reiterations of
empty sounds To pray thus Is heathen-
ish The heathen nations In their wor-
ship of Idols engage In senseless bab-
ble which we sre In the priests of
Baal on Mf Carmel (I Kings 18:20)
II True Praysr (v (1)
Since true prayer Is a definite trans-
action of the soul with God the com-
monlon of the human personality with
the divine personality we should have
real desire for fellowship with God
and then go and meet IHm In secret
Life for Its fullest development
needs both solitude and companionship
Solitude alone make one morose
while constant companionship makes
one shallow God who made ns knew
what our natures required There-
fore He commands both public snd
private prayer (Heh 10:23 Matt 6:6)
III Tha Mods! Prayer (tt 9-13)
This was given In response to the
disciples’ requeat that the Lord would
teach them how to pray It la not
therefore the Lord's prayer but the
model prayer for the dlsctples which
Involves :
1 A Right Relationship (v 9) "Our
Father Only those who have become
children of God by faith In Jesus
Christ (Gal 3:20) can pray aright One
must be a child of God before he can
be In communion with God
2 A Right Attitude (vv 9 10)
“Hallowed be Thy name" When one
realizes that he has heen delivered
from the power of darkness and trans-
lated Into the Kingdom of Ills dear
8n (Col 1:13) by being mane a child
of God he cannot help pouring out his
soul in gratitude and praise Intensely
longing for the kingdom the righteous
rule of Christ on the earth
S A Right Spirit (vv 11-13)
(1) That of trust which looks to
God for the supply of dally bread We
are dependent upon Him for our dally
food
(2) That of love which results In
forgiveness of others God will not
listen to the prayers of one who has
an unforgiving spirit
(3) That of holiness which moves
one to pray not to he ied into tempta-
tion and long to te delivered from the
evil one
