The Gospels of Matthew and LukeMatthew chapter five is a sermon by Jesus. This tells us what perspective we should have in our relationships with each other and in our attitude. Those who are weak will be strong, and those who cry will be comforted speaks of positive actions or humility being rewarded. Jesus goes through a list, exalting the poor and the weak. Mt. 5:17-20 falls between the first section of actions that are righteous and before the section of what appears to be its own version of the commandments relating to the law. He says that everything will be done and judged by and through him. So he gave a view of the humble and then judged the law. He tells people to be righteous, then shows them how to achieve righteousness. This meant removing anything from your life that distanced you from Christ. If your eyes tempt you to sin, take them out. Everything you do must be done in Christ and to glorify God the Father, so anything short of accomplishing these things must not be done and whatever is necessary must be done to stop them. Matthew characterized Jesus in his gospel as such: He is announced by the narrator as Jesus as Christ, son of David, son of Abraham. It is not as strong or as divine as Mark's announcement calling Jesus Christ the Son of God. Matthew later notes Jesus as the Son of God. Matthew uses the response of others to Jesus; his evaluated point of view; The titles and attributes of Jesus; and his actions and words to characterize him. Matthew's Jesus is a very complex character. In chapter two, the wise men see him as the king of the Jews. Later, John calls him “he who is mightier.” The centurion sees Christ as a person of authority as seen in chapter eight, and Jesus called...... middle of paper ......oss, he is said to commit his spirit to God. This shows God's presence and acceptance of the event. Luke viewed Jesus' death as a triumph over death in the resurrection. All four gospels affirmed that Jesus was innocent. Luke, however, pushes the boundaries further than the others. Luke argued that Roman authorities agreed that Jesus was innocent. These authorities included Pilate, Herod and the centurion. The thief on the cross even testified to Jesus' innocence in Luke's gospel. Luke also does not give the exact accusations made against Christ when he was brought before Pilate. He gives an example of hanus accusation, of which the reader knows Jesus is not guilty. The Gospel of Luke places much of the blame on the Jews, who were the ones who brought Jesus to justice and constantly harassed Paul. We would have the impression, according to the Gospel of Luke, that the Jews crucified Jesus.
