Never Cast Your Pearls Before Swine | Matthew 7:6 (KJV) | Sermon on the Mount

Straight Bible

Show Notes

What does "pearls before swine" mean? Matthew 7:3-6 (KJV): the beam in your own eye, then "give not that which is holy unto the dogs." Sermon on the Mount Pt 31: Matt Hepner and TopLobsta ask how Jesus can say don't judge, then tell us to know the dogs and the swine.

We pick up the mote and the beam from Pt 30: Isaiah's "woe is me" (Isaiah 6, John 12), Peter's "depart from me, for I am a sinful man" (Luke 5) and the Pharisee and the publican (Luke 18). Is the beam self? Then love as the real issue: John 13, 1 Timothy 1, Colossians 3, "love thinketh no evil" (1 Corinthians 13), Proverbs 23:7 and Philippians 2. At verse 6 we ask how to judge without judging (Matthew 7:7), why Proverbs says don't correct a mocker, and when to shake off the dust (Matthew 10:14, Acts 13, Acts 18). Next week: 2 Peter 2.

Questions answered - Why do we keep finding motes in other people's eyes? (21:25) - Is the beam in your own eye self? (24:52) - If Jesus says don't judge, how do you know who the dogs and swine are? (54:39) - Should Christians go around correcting fools and mockers? (55:48) - When do you stop arguing and shake off the dust? (1:00:15)
