Matthew 7:28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 1. Let us take A GENERAL VIEW OF THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST. II. THE EFFECT WHICH IT HAD UPON THE MINDS OF THE SURROUNDING MULTITUDE. 1. These may be an astonishment of delight and approbation. 2. It may be a feeling of voluntary unbelief. 3. The high and irresistible authority with which He taught these holy truths. III. THE PROMISED REWARD OF OBEDIENCE TO THE DOCTRINE OF CHRIST — "He shall in no wise lose his reward." 1. Because the Lord has said it. 2. Because godliness with contentment is gain. 3. Because godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come" 4. Because if these things be in you and abound, they make you that ye be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 5. Because though they walk through the valley of the shadow of death they will fear no evil. (S. Morrell.)
