Verse explanation

Matthew 12:36

‹But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.›

Author: Jerome
Posted on: 2022-11-13

This, too, goes with what was said before, and the meaning is that on the day of judgment each person must render an account of his or her words. If an idle word which by no means edifies the listeners is not without harm to the speaker, how much more will you Pharisees, who criticize the works of the Holy Spirit and say that I cast out devils by Beelzebub the prince of devils, have to render an account of your criticism? An idle word is what is spoken without benefit to the speaker and the listener. We overlook serious things and utter frivolous things and tell old wives’ tales. One who acts like a buffoon and makes mouths drop with boisterous laughter and who utters disgraceful things— that person shall be held to account, not for an idle word but a slanderous word. .

Author: John Chrysostom
Posted on: 2022-11-13

And that is idle, which is not according to the fact, which is false, which has in it unjust accusation; and some say, that which is vain also, for instance, provoking inordinate laughter, or what is filthy, and immodest, and coarse.

Men’s language discovers what country they are of, likewise what manner of spirit they are of. The heart is the fountain, words are the streams. A troubled fountain, and a corrupt spring, must send forth muddy and unpleasant streams. Nothing but the salt of grace, cast into the spring, will heal the waters, season the speech, and purify the corrupt communication. An evil man has an evil treasure in his heart, and out of it brings forth evil things. Lusts and corruptions, dwelling and reigning in the heart, are an evil treasure, out of which the sinner brings forth bad words and actions, to dishonor God, and hurt others. Let us keep constant watch over ourselves, that we may speak words agreeable to the Christian character.

The Tree and Its Fruit
The Lord takes an example from nature. Everyone knows that a good tree only produces good fruit. But if a tree is bad, it cannot produce good fruit, but only bad fruit. The tree produces fruit in accordance with its nature. The Pharisees are a bad tree. They are a “brood of vipers” [Verse 34]; [Matt 3:7]; [Matt 23:33], that is, they are bred by satan. They are children of the devil; the devil is their father [John 8:44]; [1John 3:8]. It is therefore impossible for them to speak good things. They bring forth bad fruit, in accordance with the bad tree that they are. In their hearts is an abundance of corruption and that comes out of their mouths.

The Lord further applies the general principle of the tree and its fruit to man. The good man is the man who through repentance and faith has new life and in whom the Holy Spirit dwells. That good man brings forth good things from the treasure of new life and the Holy Spirit, such as life and peace [Rom 8:6]. The evil man is full of the flesh and of himself. He brings forth from the evil treasure of the flesh the works of the flesh [Gal 5:19-21].

Words are not value-free, because they are connected to the heart. Words express what is in man. The Lord Jesus is the Word of God, that is, the perfect expression of Who God is. He has always only spoken what the Father told Him to speak [John 12:50]. He has never spoken a meaningless word. Believers sometimes speak meaningless words, words without use and meaning. This is particularly true for what is called speaking in tongues. That shows how we are inside. We must also confess that.

Unbelievers do not at all wonder what God wants them to say. They speak meaningless words. They will have to account for this in the day of judgment, before the great white throne, before Him Who sits on the throne, that is Christ [Rev 20:11-12]. They will not be able to avoid it by saying, for example, that they meant it all slightly differently, because He perfectly knows the motives that governed the heart when those words were spoken.

The words of the mouth reveal the condition of the heart. Words give expression to feelings and show us who someone is, just as their behavior shows it in a different way. Words are so important that every human being will be justified or condemned on the basis of his words (cf. [Rom 10:9-10]). The Lord will make a complete statement about the use of words because He knows the source from which they come.

👤 Bible character of the week



Asaph

Role in the Bible

Asaph is a figure in the Old Testament, known as one of the chief musicians and psalmists during the reign of King David. He is mentioned in the Books of Chronicles and in the Psalms.

Historical Background

Asaph was a Levite appointed by David to oversee the singing and music at the temple. He and his descendants formed one of the major musical families that played a leading role in the liturgical music of the Israelites across generations.

Significant Events

• Leader of Temple Music: Asaph was one of the three chief musicians, alongside Heman and Ethan, responsible for the musical arrangement of the worship services in the temple. This role involved singing, playing instruments, and composing music.
• Author of Psalms: Asaph is traditionally credited with composing several psalms that are part of the biblical Psalter. These psalms, including Psalm 50 and Psalms 73 to 83, reflect deep spiritual insights and a close relationship with God.
• Spiritual Legacy: The descendants of Asaph continued his musical and liturgical work, and his name is often used synonymously with liturgical singing in Israel.

Importance

Asaph is often seen as a key figure in the development of the musical and spiritual culture in ancient Israel. His contributions to the psalmody are particularly important for understanding the role of music in biblical and Jewish tradition.

Relevance Today

Asaph's story highlights the power of music and poetry in spiritual practice and how it can help unify communities and deepen faith. His psalms continue to be used in many religious traditions worldwide to provide expression and depth in worship. His legacy inspires musicians and artists to use their talents to praise God and enhance the spiritual life of their communities.
