YOU WILL NOT SEE ME AGAIN UNTIL / MATTHEW 23:39

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 23:39

For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

YOU WILL NOT SEE ME AGAIN UNTIL / MATTHEW 23:39

The city of Jerusalem repeatedly rejected Jesus’ message. It was with deep regret and sorrow (Matthew 23:37-38) that Christ would have to withdraw from Israel until they acknowledge their offense, recognize Jesus as their Messiah (Savior, Deliverer, Christ) and sincerely call on Him to rescue them. 

  1. This will occur only when Israel (a portion that remains, Isaiah 6:13;10:20; 17:7) experiences the dreadful days of the tribulation and is facing the prospect of total destruction by their enemies (Hosea 5:15-6:3).

After Israel experiences great persecution and suffering (Amos 9:9) under world domination by the antichrist, the nations of the world will gather against Jerusalem (Zechariah 12:1-4) and two-thirds of the people in Israel will be killed (Zechariah 13:8-9). At the point when Israel is nearly destroyed, those who remain will turn to God in honest desperation and true repentance, and God will respond with a miraculous salvation (Isaiah 26:16-17; 64:1, 6; Hosea 5:15; Zechariah 12:4-5, 10; Romans 11:26; Revelation 11:2; Revelation 12:6).

ON THE OUTSIDE … RIGHTEOUS / MATTHEW 23:28

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 23:28

In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

ON THE OUTSIDE … RIGHTEOUS / MATTHEW 23:28

Jesus continues His harsh but true speech about the religious leaders and ministers of His day. Their public conduct appeared righteous and godly, but their hearts were full of hypocrisy, pride, lust and wickedness. They were like painted tombs (which were sometimes “whitewashed” to make them more visible, especially at night), attractive on the outside, yet with death and corruption hidden inside.

WOE TO YOU … PHARISEES, YOU HYPOCRITES / Matthew 23:13

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 23:13

“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.

WOE TO YOU … PHARISEES, YOU HYPOCRITES / Matthew 23:13

The Greek word translated “hypocrite” is hupokritai. In classical Greek, a hypocrite was an actor in a play. The actor, of course, was not expected to live out in his daily life the character he played on stage. Jesus used the term for people who were putting on an act in public that was only a pretense. Their religious appearance was a mask that concealed their spiritual blindness and the corruption within their hearts. Jesus’ words in Matthew 23 express His strongest accusations, criticisms and condemnation against those who acted as if they were devoted to God, yet resisted everything Jesus was doing and teaching. His words were directed against religious leaders and false teachers who had rejected at least a part of the revealed Word of God (with which they were very familiar) and replaced it with their own ideas and interpretations (Matthew 23:23, 28; 15:3, 6-9; Mark 7:6-9). 

  1. Jesus’ spirit, or attitude, in this passage should be noted. It is not the tolerant, permissive and accommodating attitude of someone who is worried about offending anyone. He is ultimately concerned about faithfulness to God and His Word. Jesus was not a weak preacher who tolerated sin and hypocrisy. Being true to His mission caused Him to be angry about evil (Matthew 21:12-17; John 2:13-16) and to denounce sin and corruption in high places (Matthew 23:23, 25). 
  2. Jesus’ love for God’s Word, as well as His concern for people who were being harmed or destroyed by those who distorted the Word (Matthew 15:2-3; 18:6-7; 23:13,15), was so great that it caused Him to use words like “hypocrites” (Matthew 23:15), “son of hell” (Matthew 23:15), “blind guides” (Matthew 23:16), “fools” (Matthew 23:17), “greed and self-indulgence” (Matthew 23:25), “whitewashed tombs…unclean” (Matthew 23:27), “full of…wickedness” (Matthew 23:28), “snakes,” “brood of vipers” (Matthew 23:33) and murderers (Matthew 23:34). Keep in mind that these words, though harsh and condemning, were spoken with a broken heart (Matthew 23:37) by the One who would eventually give His life for those He challenged so severely (John 3:16; Romans 5:6,8). 
  3. Jesus describes the character of false teachers and preachers as those who seek to be popular with others (Matthew 23:5), who love honor (Matthew 23:6), who want to be highly honored because of their positions and titles (Matthew 23:7) and who keep people out of heaven by presenting a twisted version of God’s true message (Matthew 23:13). They are “professionals” who appear spiritual and godly, but are really unrighteous and rebellious (Matthew 23:14, 25-27). They say good things about godly spiritual leaders of the past (such as the prophets), but they do not follow their instructions or their example. They are not truly committed to God and His Word (Matthew 23:29-30), and they lack an authentic personal relationship with God. 
  4. The Bible commands us to beware of such false religious leaders (Matthew 7:15; 24:11), regarding them as unbelievers (Galatians 1:9) and refusing to support their ministry or to associate with them (2 John 1:9-11). Keep in mind that this does not give us the right to withhold support from our churches simply because we do not appreciate or agree with a minister who challenges us when we may, in fact, be wrong. 

Those in the church who – under the pretense of love, tolerance and unity – refuse to recognize and speak out against this false behavior according to God’s Word (Matthew 7:15; Galatians 1:6-7; 2 John 1:9) are actually participating in the evil works of false prophets and teachers (2 John 1:10-11).

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR / MATTHEW 22:39

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 22:39

 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR / MATTHEW 22:39

Christians are required to love all people (Galatians 6:10; 1 Thessalonians 3:12), including their enemies (Matthew 5:44). But they are also commanded to love all true followers of God in a special way (John 13:34; Galatians 6:10; 1 Thessalonians 3:12; 1 John 3:11). 

  1. Christians’ love for their spiritual brothers and sisters in faith, their neighbors (all those around them and anyone they may encounter) and their enemies must flow from their primary love and devotion for God. 
  2. Love for God is the “first and greatest commandment” (Matthew 22:37-38). For this reason, God’s holiness (purity, perfection, spiritual completeness and separation from evil), His purposes and the standards revealed in His Word must never be compromised in our efforts to show love for people. In other words, love for God must come first, and nothing we do to demonstrate love to others should compromise our devotion to God. 

If we love God completely (Matthew 22:37-38) and love others unselfishly (Matthew 22:39), then all of our attitudes and actions will end up aligning with all of the commands, instructions, guidelines and standards of God’s Word (Matthew 22:40).

FEW ARE CHOSEN / MATTHEW 22:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 22:14

For many are called, but few are chosen.

FEW ARE CHOSEN / MATTHEW 22:14

The open invitation to spiritual salvation (the opportunity of forgiveness of sin and a personal relationship with God through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ) goes out to everyone – the “many.” However, relatively few respond to that invitation, turn from their own way and follow Christ. Those who do are “chosen” to inherit the kingdom. Responding to God’s gracious invitation by the free exercise of our will makes us art of God’s chosen people.

WEDDING CLOTHES / MATTHEW 22:11

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 22:11

 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:

WEDDING CLOTHES / MATTHEW 22:11

Many who appear to have accepted Christ’s invitation and claim to be members of God’s kingdom will not be wearing “wedding clothes” – symbolizing a condition of spiritual preparation and readiness. In other words, they do not possess true faith in Christ (they do not truly rely on Him or trust His Word to guide their lives), they do not truly obey God’s Word, and they are not prepared for His return (Matthew 24:44; 25:21). Christ refers to the man who was not wearing wedding clothes in order to urge all of us to examine ourselves to ensure that we are prepared to serve God now and be with Him forever.

KINGDOM TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU / MATTHEW 21:43

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 21:43

Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

KINGDOM TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU / MATTHEW 21:43

Israel rejected Jesus as their Messiah (the “Anointed one,” Savior, Christ), which revealed that they misunderstood Jesus’ purposes. The resisted in open rebellion against His plan of salvation. As a result, God’s kingdom and power are given to others – to those who respond positively to the message of Christ – whether they are Jew or Gentile (people from nations and cultures that are not Jewish, 1 Peter 2:9). This principle is still in operation. The kingdom and its power will be taken away from those who fail to remain faithful to Christ (Romans 11:19-22). Instead, it will be given to people who separate themselves from the ungodly beliefs and behaviors of the world and who pursue God’s standards and purposes above all else (Matthew 5:6; 6:33).

IF YOU HAVE FAITH / MATTHEW 21:21-22

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 21:21-22

Jesus answered and said unto them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if ye shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

IF YOU HAVE FAITH / MATTHEW 21:21-22

Jesus describes a direct relationship between faith and answers to prayer (Matthew 21:22). Everything that is in line with God’s desires and purposes is possible – to do or to receive – for those who do not doubt (Matthew 17:20; Mark 11:24; 1 Kings 17:1, 7; 18:42-45; Luke 17:5-6). Of course, answers to prayer are also affected by other principles and behaviors (Daniel 10:12-14; James 4:3).

JESUS OVERTURNED THE TABLES / MATTHEW 21:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 21:12

And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,

JESUS OVERTURNED THE TABLES / MATTHEW 21:12

This appears to be the second time that Jesus entered the temple area and “cleansed” it from ungodly activity. John describes an occasion like this that occurred at the beginning of Jesus’ ministry, but the details are somewhat different (John 2:13-22). Some scholars feel that these are descriptions of the same event from a different perspective and that John tells of this event at the beginning of his Gospel to show that God’s authority to judge was present in Christ from the start of His ministry. However, it is quite likely that Jesus had to confront this situation in the temple on more than one occasion since this activity was common in the temple area. Jesus’ strong actions show that hypocrisy, greed, selfish interest, immorality and disrespect in God’s house should have no place in the lives of those who identify with Christ. In fact, such behavior will bring God’s justified anger and judgment. Christ is Lord (the Leader and authority) of His church, and He demands that it be a “house of prayer” (Matthew 21:13).
