Matthew 5:45
_ _ That ye may be the children — sons.
_ _ of your Father which is in heaven — The meaning is, “that ye may show yourselves to be such by resembling Him” (compare Matthew 5:9; Ephesians 5:1).
_ _ for he maketh his sun — “your Father’s sun.” Well might Bengel exclaim, “Magnificent appellation!”
_ _ to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust — rather, (without the article) “on evil and good, and on just and unjust.” When we find God’s own procedure held up for imitation in the law, and much more in the prophets (Leviticus 19:2; Leviticus 20:26; and compare 1 Peter 1:15, 1 Peter 1:16), we may see that the principle of this surprising verse was nothing new: but the form of it certainly is that of One who spake as never man spake. |
Matthew 5:45
That ye may be the children — That is, that ye may continue and appear such before men and angels. For he maketh his sun to rise — He gives them such blessings as they will receive at his hands. Spiritual blessings they will not receive. |
Matthew 5:45
(10) That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
(10) A double reason: the one is taken of the relatives, The children must be like their father: the other is taken of comparisons, The children of God must be better than the children of this world. |
