Matthew 7.28-29
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
Personal Reflections In these closing verses to Matthew 5-7, he writes that the crowds were amazed because of the authority of Jesus compared to their own teachers. This authority stems from the fact that Jesus himself is the King, who comes to inaugurate the kingdom. He teaches about the characteristics and conduct of citizens of this kingdom of heaven.
Therefore, the important consideration for us is whether we are heeding what this King of the kingdom teaches. Do you heed what the Kings says and teaches? Do we seek to put into practice what we hear and read in the Scriptures? Look back at the journal entries for the past three months. Has there been actual obedience or mere intellectual assent? Would you make a commitment to always do what the Kings says?
