Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Matthew 6:32

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

32. (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek) —rather, "pursue." Knowing nothing definitely beyond the present life to kindle their aspirations and engage their supreme attention, the heathen naturally pursue present objects as their chief, their only good. To what an elevation above these does Jesus here lift His disciples! for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things —How precious this word! Food and raiment are pronounced needful to God's children; and He who could say, "No man knoweth the Father but the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him" ( :- ), says with an authority which none but Himself could claim, "Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things." Will not that suffice you, O ye needy ones of the household of faith? return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-33" class="com-number"
