Matthew 5:41 and 6:19

"And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two."

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasure on earth, ..... for where your treasure is , then your heart will be also."

We are going through Matthew much slower than I thought we would. We are stopping to discuss each segment of Jesus' teaching. After we make our observations, we pull out the Bible Knowledge Commentary to help us with understanding.

Life of Christ: His Attributes

As we read a section of the Gospels like Matthew 12 we refer back to this graphic to see if we can find which of His attributes is being revealed. For example:

Love

Righteousness

Justice

Sovereignty

Immutability

Eternality

Veracity

Omniscience

Omnipresence

Omnipotence

v 25: "But Jesus knew their thoughts...", revealed His omniscience.

v32 "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but who ever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come." reveals His sovereignty, righteousness, justice, omniscience, omnipresence, omnipotence, and immutability.

v 37 "By your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned" reveals his justice and righteousness.

Try it. Pick a verse, any verse. Observe it carefully. Talk about it. Decide which of His attributes are being clearly revealed.
