"And Zaccheus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold." Now I'm gonna grab my Mother's Bible and read it myself BRB. this is the law of the leper and the day of his cleansing, Leviticus 13 . (1.) ), THE SIGNS OF HIS COMING ( Luke 17:20-37 ), 17:20-37 When Jesus was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was coming, he answered them, "The kingdom of God does not come with signs that you can watch for; nor will they say, 'Look here!' Next, while there is a strong exhortation against stumbling others, there is an equally urgent call to forgive others. Now the Jews had no dealings with a Samaritan nor the Samaritans with the Jews. Amen.May the Lord be with you, bless you. He looked upon the Lord merely as good after a human fashion. Man has it apparently all his own way, in mockery, blows, and blasphemy; but yet he is only accomplishing the will, the purpose, and the grace of God. But it was not possible; and so He adds, "Nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done." Accordingly, after this was duly reported to the apostles and the rest, one like another incredulous, we have the visit of Peter (accompanied, as John lets us know, by himself), who sees confirmation enough, and departed, wondering, in himself at that which was come to pass. Therefore He takes all from God, and feels all, as it really was for His glory. This may be the way of men, to avoid what they can, and think as little as possible of what is painful and disagreeable. It gets its name from an incident in 2010, when many people on the internet said they clearly Intimacy with a good person does not necessarily guarantee our own salvation. But here we may pause for a moment; for there are special and profoundly instructive touches peculiar to Luke. Thus the Spirit of God works to give them a step, and a great step, in divine intelligence beyond the song of the angels at the beginning. You wouldn't be as sick as you are if you just had enough faith." What is being referred to wherever the body is there will the eagles be gathered together. It was common for a mother and daughter or two female friends to grind grain together in Jesus day (cf. shall the Son of man be sitting on the right hand of the power of God. But even where that is maintained in a general way, at least, it is an awful thing to deny any part of His moral glory; and what is it but denying, this, to shut out those real sufferings which prove the extent and character of His humiliation, exalt and endear Himself in our eyes, and issue in the richest streams of comfort for His saints, who can afford to lose none of His sympathy? It would have been not faith, but presumption, I do not doubt, at such a time, and under such circumstances, for him to have come nigh. The others perished; but she abode a pillar of salt, when Moses wrote the (morally speaking) imperishable memorial of God's hatred of a false heart, which, spite of outward deliverance, gave its affections still to a scene devoted to destruction. We have similar teaching elsewhere. He was God, and proved it not least in a self-abnegation truly divine. And he was a Samaritan. It doesn't say anything about Jesus touching them. It was not called this in the 1970s, but the songwriter was hiding it by using the really old slang. How admirably this tale is adapted to the whole tone and character of the Gospel, I need not delay to prove. Also, there was a 1970s song, "I just died in your arms tonight." .FIYolDqalszTnjjNfThfT{max-width:256px;white-space:normal;text-align:center} People will come with false prophecies and false predictions; but we must not leave our ordinary work to follow them. At the same time man, having a bad conscience and a depraved heart, slights God's word as well as kingdom, and looks for that which would please himself by gratifying his feelings, mind, or even lower nature. And those that would try to rob a child of that pure, simplistic faith in Jesus. The Lord is exhorting to prayer, in view of the final trial; nevertheless, He prefaces it with a plain moral precept on the value. Oh, let me ask you a question. But then he does not say what the English version makes him say, "As he was come nigh," but simply, "When he was nigh to Jericho," leaving it open to other Scriptures to define the time with more precision. Save yourselves from this untoward generation. Its common for people to remember situations differently. (i) There will be times when the Christian will long for the coming of Christ. The healing of the blind man was a kind of final testimony that Messiah was there. Need it be remarked here that this again falls in with our evangelist beyond all others? It was about to come morally; for Luke holds to that great principle the kingdom of God was about to be established in what you may call the Christian system. Remark here the absence of a crowd of circumstances of the deepest interest to the Jew, when grace makes him meek, and obedient in heart of solemn warning to him, whatever the unbelief which shuts up his heart and seals his ears, to the truth Here is no dream and message from Pilate's wife; here no awful episode of Judas . But here this is not the point, but His power, although He be, of course, a person. Not only is there the sack of the city, the slaughter and captivity of the people, but continual occupation by their enemies till the termination of the period God allows the nations to have the supremacy over Israel. They part His raiment, and cast lots for it. My attitude after I come in from serving the Lord, and the Lord gives me another task to do, and I'm so tired I feel oh I can't move. It was probably borrowed from Matthew 24:40. That they did not regard the warning given them, and gave no credit, no heed to it. (Verse Luke 23:53.). Work in our lives, Lord. There is retributive severity, but not a sign appears of its being anything unparalleled. Worded in a dirty way, I mean. That they had fair warning given them of the ruin that was coming upon them for their sins. He first must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation. He is now gone on high to associate with Himself there those who were once, possibly, the worst on the earth, now with Himself above, cleansed of course (need we say it?) And for you who are listening on tape, Romaine is not my wife. However, in Matthew, Galilee is the sign for a converted Jewish remnant till He come to reign in power and glory. Therefore, the convicted publican is found outside, beating his breast, and standing at a distance, not so much as looking up. What was the result? ), Jesus works the great work of salvation in the heart of one of the malefactors. You would have healed Jerusalem, as of old Babylon, but she is not healed, and therefore forsake her, flee out of the midst of her, and deliver every man his soul,Jeremiah 51:6; Jeremiah 51:9. He had been really a conscientious man. Those who have left the Sodom of a natural state, let them go forward, and not so much as look a kind look towards it again. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. We have here a discourse of Christ's concerning the kingdom of God, that is, the kingdom of the Messiah, which was now shortly to be set up, and of which there was great expectation. Both the deprecation and the acceptance were thoroughly perfect both equally in their due place and season. 106. And let your light so shine before men, that when they see your good works they'll glorify your Father which is in heaven. He was right; and Jesus replies with ineffable grace, and according to that style so worthy of God (compare Psalms 132:1-18), which not only answers the prayer of faith, but invariably surpasses it. This is the opposite of what will happen at the Rapture (cf. Besides, there is the final publicly adjudicated portion of misery for body and soul before the great white throne. Noah entered into the ark, and there he was safe; Lot went out of Sodom, and so went out of harm's way. I remember the time, though unable to boast of any very lengthened scene to look back on as a Christian, when at least almost all for I will not say all were more engaged in attacking ecclesiastical error, and spreading much of kindred and other truth (and, in its place and time, important truth). God has shown that His name is, as ever, a stumbling-stone for unbelief; but for the simple and spiritual a sure foundation, and most precious. ), Yet was this the moment when, spite of a traitorous disciple, spite of another too confident that denied Him with oaths, spite of all who ought to have been faithful forsaking and fleeing, spite of the distant and saddened lookers on who had once followed Him devotedly, God emboldens a man of high station, who might have been then the least expected by us (and, as we are told elsewhere, Nicodemus). It was suitable that it should be so; for Christ's work was not yet wrought, still less applied to his soul. On this alone God can put His seal. "For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on; and they shall scourge Him, and put him to death; and the third day he shall rise again; and they understood none of these things. It has two meanings. (Verses Luke 20:20-26.). I know it is a failing of mine, because my wife isn't my servant. One of them when he saw that he was cured, turned back, glorifying God with a great voice. Here there is no cry to God in the sense of being forsaken, when His soul was made an offering for sin. There is another truth necessary to be known and proved, His real resurrection, who stood in the midst of them with a "Peace to you;" not without His death, but founded on it, and thus declared. But faith finds its own deliverance now, leaving those who are under the law and love not grace, to the law which condemns. Then he turns to Jesus, and says, "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." There is not a witness for Jesus now. Observe more especially this, that here the Lord Jesus brings before us a very direct and immediate picture of the destruction of Jerusalem that was then imminent. or, lo there! Then comes in another communication of our Saviour not more interesting than full of instruction. The resurrection is the great truth to which all things turn which the Lord has shown in its final form, too, in His own person now raised from the dead, then just about to follow. (a) It may mean, the kingdom of God is within you. The Greek masculine gender could describe a man and his wife, however. When they have made their escape, they must not think of returning (Luke 17:32; Luke 17:32): "Remember Lot's wife; and take warning by her not only to flee from this Sodom (for so Jerusalem is become, Isaiah 1:10), but to persevere in your flight, and do not look back, as she did; be not loth to leave a place marked for destruction, whomsoever or whatsoever you leave behind you, that is ever so dear to you." No one makes it so stupid that we can't learn, but yet, as a position of a servant I shouldn't really be looking for these little perks. It seeks what belongs not to nature, but to God. He who humbled Himself as man in suffering is exalted as man to the glory of God on high. That judgment is the Goat and Sheep Judgment. There are those who interpret this as the person who is taken is the one in, who is in trouble, because he is taken to the judgment. or, lo there! There are all kinds of passages that have been dramatically changed and dare I say it quite "wickedly" and even "perversely" corrupted in terms of their purpose, sense, and meaning, with still more being discovered each and every day. In remorse and despair, casting the price of innocent blood into the very sanctuary, and going away to hang himself; here no imprecation of His blood on them and on their children; here no detail of the guilty people's unconscious accomplishment of the living oracles of God in the Psalms and Prophets; nor here any allusion to the earthquake, and the rent rocks, and opened graves, or the subsequent appearing of risen saints to many in the holy city. Why not lament for themselves; for in truth there were days of sorrow coming, when they should say, "Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare; and the paps that never gave suck." The term was coined by writer Fiona Broome, who discovered that she and others distinctly remembered Nelson Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s, when in fact he survived and went on to become South Africas first black president. Hence He says, "Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer." heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. That it ought to be the care of his disciples and followers to distinguish themselves from the unbelieving Jews in that day, and, leaving them, their city and country, to themselves, to flee at the signal given, according to the direction that should be given. For remember Lot's wife ( Luke 17:30-32 ). A common misfortune had broken down the racial and national barriers. Not that His Godhead ever made His suffering less; else the result would have been some nondescript estate which was neither Godhead nor manhood, but somewhat made up of both. Luke 20:1-8), then the people hearing the history of God's dealings with them, and their moral condition fully brought out. No doubt man was guilty beyond measure and without excuse. Our Lord, however, cuts it all short. Then they will wish to see such days of opportunity as they have formerly enjoyed, sabbath days, sacrament days, preaching days, praying days; these are days of the Son of man, in which we hear from him, and converse with him. The consequence is, that, treating the Lord as a froward man, he finds Him froward. Here was a tax-gatherer who, if through in cautiousness or any defect guilty of wrong to another, needed no pressure to restore fourfold. By Good Not that the Pharisee represents a man who denies God, or who is not a religious man. (Verses Luke 20:9-19.) 30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. I just, you know, expect it and, but I don't give her recognition and don't say, "Oh, sweetheart, that was the most delicious dinner. This was for other hands. Apparently the wife of Lot was rescued by angelic power; she was certainly brought out of the doomed city; but it was only the more strikingly to be the monument of God's all-searching judgment. The trophies of Christ's victories shall be erected on the ruins of the devil's kingdom, even in those countries that could never be subdued to the Roman yoke. Thus the Holy Ghost was not given yet as an indwelling person, but rather a reiteration of the Father's promise. This he saw not; and therefore, the Lord proves him, and searches the ground of his heart, and demonstrates that after all he valued the world more than God and eternal life. There was no specified distance at which they should stand, but we know that at least one authority laid it down that, when he was to windward of a healthy person, the leper should stand at least fifty yards away. Joseph of Arimathea was a man that had waited for the kingdom of God for some time, a good man and just, and a real believer, though he had shrunk from open confession of the Lord Jesus; but now, when fear might naturally have more than ever operated to keep him back, grace made him bold. There is much vagueness in minds as to this merging all in the atonement, to the great detriment of their distinctness even in holding the atonement itself. The day of unleavened bread comes on, and the passover must be killed; and Peter and John go to prepare it. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.". And when he saw them, he said to them, Go your way and show yourselves unto the priests. Turning to his disciples, Jesus added that one day he would be taken from them. WebLuke 17:34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. It fell therefore, within the domain of these two. Which of these refers to the saved, which to the unsaved? It was not the Lord's Supper, but the paschal cup. Pain, and shame, and death, are those many things. It will be better to leave his stuff behind him than to stay to look after it, and perish with them that believe not. Our Lord, however, shows that it was not the time to think or speak of such matters. WebIn Luke 17:34 Jesus says, I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. But as to the cup before them, He says, "I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come." (Verses Luke 24:13-29. Luke 17:34 | New King James Version (NKJV) [ 34 ] I It is the word of God which is the truest, deepest, weightiest testimony, even though the risen Jesus Himself were there, and its living, demonstration in person.
