I have begun a personal verse mapping study of the words of Yeshua. Todays verse was Matthew 5:16 “in that same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” This statement is the last in what is known as the sermon on the Mount. It is a discourse given to the “am ha-Aretz”. The uneducated people of the land. These people where the workhorses of Israel. With little time for education or personal pursuits. Working hard to support their families. And yet throughout this discourse he says they are “blessed” through the description of the beatitudes as they are commonly known. This was likely a message very dear to these roughened hard workers who were so looked down on by the educated elite of the time in Jerusalem. With that new perspective on the crowd that sat on the hillside and listened, this message resonates in a completely different way, I think. This statement about “works” seems to be contradicted by one recorded shortly afterward by Matthew in 6:1 “take care not do your good works before men, to be seen by them, or you will have no reward from your Father in Heaven.” But in the two preceding verses to this statement, he is speaking about ‘tax collectors’ and ‘gentiles’ who are in the habit of excluding others and who are doing things to be seen as ‘good’ in front of other people. The am-Haaretz likely derived great comfort from todays passage. They worked hard just to subsist and take care of their families. It seems he is saying that their “good works” (virtuous toil, valuable deeds, beautiful labors). Are seen by Yah and point to Him. Their diligence in focusing on the needs of their brethren and families is seen as valuable, needed, even godly. Understanding the context of these words can bring great comfort to those of us who feel we can “never get ahead” or are just barely making it. Most of this crowd probably felt the same. Farmers, fishermen, shepherds, mothers, fathers who toiled ceaselessly from sunup to sundown. These were the ones that the elite could not survive without, (they were the ones who literally put the food on the tables of Jerusalem) yet were scorned by the very same as ‘drudge workers’ of little value to the educated elite.Proverbs 8:32 reminds us: “ blessed are those who keep my words.” We can all do that, no matter our walk of life, level of education, or situation.

Wow! We went out to lunch and a limb broke and fell from one of our grandfather trees. When I say a limb, I mean something the size of a twenty year old tree! It missed the end of the house by mere inches, and the power line into the house. So, other than cutting it up, no big deal. Except, it came down at the end of the house I was working in all morning, in the room that, if it had been off by a few inches, it would have flattened the house, and me. Randy discovered it 4 hours later when he walked the dog. His truck had hidden it from our view when we pulled in from lunch. Another thing it missed. Yah is good!
