Sermon on the Mount Week 14
OATHS
Matthew 5:33-37
n
Thou shalt not forswear thyself-
Do Not
Perjure
Yourself or
False
Oaths
n
But shall perform
-
Keep
Your Oath
n
Swear not at all
Does Not Mean:
n
Don’t Take An Oath in a
Courtroom
n
Don’t Take An Oath of
Allegiance
n
What Is An Oath or Swearing?
n
To Swear Does Not Mean to
Curse
or Use
Bad
Words
n
Means: To
Affirm
the Truth of a Statement While Calling on
God
to
Judge
the Truth
n
Does The Bible Approve of Oaths?
n
God’s Oaths:
n
Not To Send Another
Universal
Flood
(Gen 9:9-11)
n
To Send A
Redeemer
(Lk 1:68 &73)
n
To
Raise
His Son From the
Dead
(Ps 16:10 & Acts 2:27-31)
n
OT Oaths:
n
In God’s Name Oaths Were Permitted and
Commanded
(Deut. 10:20)
n
NT Oaths by
Paul
(Rom 1:9; 2 Cor 1:23; & Gal 1:20)
n
Bible Oaths Encourage
Truthfulness
n
Jesus Did Not Mean to Condemn Swearing of Every
Kind
and On Every
Occasion
n
Formal & Solemn Oaths Are Not Meant, Only Oaths Resulting From
Impatience
&
Exaggeration
n
How Did the Jews Understand Oaths?
n
The Jews Did Not Consider It an Oath if The
Name
of
God
Was Left Out
n
This Teaching Led the Way to All Kinds of
Untruthfulness
&
Frivolous
Oaths
n
Neither by heaven
…
God’s throne
-They Are
Inseparable
n
Nor by the earth…footstool
-The Creator
Owns
It (Is 66:1 & Ps 24:1)
n
Whether by Jerusalem…the city
-His
City
(Ps 48:2 & Ps 46:4)
n
Neither…by thy head
-Beyond Our
Control
n
Jews Viewed This Swearing As Less
Binding
than Swearing by God
n
Jesus Says That Every Oath Carries An
Appeal
to
God
Whether Named or Not (Col 1:17)
n
Jesus Declares That It Would be Best to
Avoid
These Oaths; Not
Necessary
n
Oaths Are A Poor Substitute for
Integrity
n
God Already Witnesses Every
Word
n
But let your communication
-Your
Words
in Ordinary Conversation
n
Yea, yea; Nay, nay
-Let A Simple Yes & No Be
Sufficient
n
Our Life Should
Consistently
Back Up Our Words
n
Whatsoever is more…cometh of evil-
Introduces
Suspicion
