Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying-- (Isa 29:13).
John Gill Bible Commentary
Ye hypocrites,.... After our Lord had given so full a proof of their making void the commandments of God by their traditions, he might very justly, as he does, call them hypocrites; who pretended to so much religion and holiness, and yet scrupled not, upon occasion, to set aside a divine command; who affected so much sanctity, as to be displeased with the disciples, for not complying with an order of their elders, when they themselves made no account of a divine precept; and plainly showed they had more regard to men than God, and to the precepts of men, than to the commands of God, and to approve themselves to men more than to God; and that they sought the praise and applause of men, and not the honour which comes from God; and that their religion lay in mere rituals and externals, and those of men's devising, and not in the spiritual worship and service of God. Nor can it be thought that Christ, in calling them hypocrites, bears too hard upon them; when one of their own doctors, who lived not very distant from this age, says (a) of the men of Jerusalem, that "if the hypocrites of the world were divided into ten parts, nine of them would belong to Jerusalem, and one to the rest of the world.'' Well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, in Isa 29:13 which prophecy, though it was directed to, and suited with many in that generation in which the prophet lived, yet had a further view to the Jews in after times: their own writers (b) acknowledge, that the whole prophecy is spoken of that nation; for by Ariel they understand the altar at Jerusalem, the city in which David dwelt, (a) R. Nathan in Rabba, sect. 1. (b) Abarbinel, Jarchi, Kimchi, & Aben Ezra.

Christ Is All - in Scripture
By Bill McLeod1.6K46:28Fulness Of ChristPSA 2:10PSA 40:7PSA 41:9MAT 1:21MAT 28:19MRK 14:62COL 3:11TIT 3:7PHM 1:1In this sermon, the speaker begins by referencing Mark 16 and Luke 1 from the Bible. He highlights how Jesus reproached his disciples for their lack of belief in his resurrection and then commanded them to preach the gospel to the world. The speaker also mentions that some versions of the Bible omit miracles and end with Jesus' death on the cross, portraying him as a good man and advocate of peace. However, the speaker emphasizes that the Bible is truly all about Jesus and explores the significance of his ministry and his role as the Son of God.
Distractions in the Holy Place
By David Wilkerson1Distractions in PrayerWorshipMAT 15:7David Wilkerson addresses the issue of mental distractions during prayer and worship, emphasizing that many come to church with their bodies but leave their hearts and minds elsewhere. He cites Matthew 15:7-8, where Jesus condemns hypocrisy in worship, urging believers to engage fully with their hearts and thoughts in God's presence. Wilkerson warns against treating God's house lightly, referencing Leviticus 10:3 to highlight the need for sanctity and reverence when approaching God. He encourages Christians to cultivate intimacy with Jesus at home, as true worshipers bring their own fire ignited through personal prayer. Ultimately, he calls for a deeper engagement in worship to experience God's glory and majesty.
Compared View of the First Three Gospels, Etc.
By John Nelson Darby0The GospelsChrist's MinistryMAT 1:1MAT 4:17MAT 5:1MAT 9:35MAT 11:28MAT 28:19MRK 1:14LUK 3:23LUK 4:18John Nelson Darby discusses the distinct characteristics and purposes of the first three Gospels, emphasizing that Mark presents a chronological account of Christ's service, while Matthew focuses on the presentation of Jesus as the Messiah and the implications of His rejection. He notes that Luke, while generally following Mark's order, includes moral teachings that are unique to his Gospel. Darby highlights the importance of understanding the genealogies and the context of Christ's ministry, particularly in relation to Israel's expectations and the establishment of the church. He concludes that the Gospels collectively reveal the nature of Christ's mission and the unfolding of God's plan for humanity.
Brokenness
By Mark Partin0PSA 51:16PSA 139:23ISA 57:15JER 5:23EZK 36:25MAT 5:3MAT 15:7JAS 4:8Mark Partin preaches on the importance of brokenness and humility in rekindling our 'first love' for Jesus Christ, emphasizing the need to reconcile broken relationships and rebuild areas of despair, all starting with brokenness and humility as there are no exceptions, shortcuts, or substitutes. The sermon delves into the issue of the heart, highlighting the importance of having a contrite and humble spirit before God, drawing from biblical examples like Naaman in 2 Kings 5 and various passages from Jeremiah and Matthew. The message stresses that true brokenness is a continuous lifestyle of surrendering our will to God, allowing Him to shatter our self-reliance and independence, and softening our hearts to be receptive to His truth.
Not for the Better!
By Chip Brogden0MAT 15:7MAT 18:201CO 11:17HEB 10:25REV 1:10Chip Brogden emphasizes the importance of Jesus' presence in small gatherings, stating that where two or three are gathered in His name, He is in their midst, regardless of the location or structure of the meeting. Brogden challenges the common belief that larger numbers equate to a greater presence of Jesus, highlighting that true fellowship is based on a relationship with Christ, not with a church institution. He warns against assembling together for the worse, as seen in the Corinthians' division and harmful gatherings, stressing the need for genuine unity and edification in gatherings.
