Matthew 13:52 Then said he to them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed to the kingdom of heaven is like to a man that is an householder… I. The preacher should bring forth out of his treasure "THINGS NEW." His teaching should be living, and therefore have the characteristics of life, newness, and freshness. II. The preacher should not forget to bring forth out of his treasure "THINGS OLD." Many have gone to as great an extreme in the direction of the old, as others in the direction of the new. It is not a trimming between the old and new that is expected. The old facts of the gospel must be brought out. The oldest truths of the gospel; God's great love. (D. Longwill, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. |
