Why Are You Anxious? What "Take No Thought" Means | Sermon on the Mount Pt 27 | Straight Bible

STRAIGHT BIBLE WEDNESDAY on Nephilim Death Squad.

What did Jesus mean by "take no thought for your life" in Matthew 6:24-34 (KJV)? Not "sit on your porch and wait for life to happen." Take no anxiety: seek the kingdom of God first, then work without worry.

Sermon on the Mount Pt 27, hosted by Matttttt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Matthew 6:24 is the hinge of the chapter. Verses 19-24 warn against coveting abundance, and verses 25-34 warn against being anxious about necessities. Matttttt shows that "take no thought" means take no anxiety, the same idea as "Be careful for nothing" in Philippians 4:6.

From there: losing your life to find it (Matthew 16:24-27), flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom (1 Corinthians 15:50-54), "If God be for us, who can be against us?" (Romans 8:31-39), render unto Caesar and unto God (Luke 20:19-26), "all souls are mine" (Ezekiel 18:4), Moses asking to be blotted out of God's book (Exodus 32:30-33), the books of judgment (Revelation 20:12-15), your children belong to God (Ezekiel 16:20-21), and Paul on Mars Hill (Acts 17:22-28).

Then back to the fowls of the air, which never just sit around, the ant (Proverbs 6:6-11), Adam put in the garden "to dress it and to keep it" before the curse (Genesis 2:7-15), providing for your own house (1 Timothy 5:8), and "if any would not work, neither should he eat" (2 Thessalonians 3:10). The balance: work hard, plan and provide, without anxiety.

What causes you the most anxiety about the future, and how has Matthew 6 changed the way you deal with it?
