The best way that Christ can come upon a man is when he is faithfully and humbly and watchfully doing his duty. Jesus is led away to the cross, and Simon is compelled to bear it after Jesus; for now man shows his needless cruelty in every form, The women that were there lament with the crowd after Jesus: there was much of human feeling in this, though not faith or real love. The death of Jesus is the sole foundation of safety for a sinful man. To this the Lord appends a peculiar, but not less solemn though brief word: "Remember Lot's wife! One is taken, where Lord?

He tells the disciples that it was they who had continued with Him in His temptations. So this timid Joseph waxes valiant in fight. if he repents, forgive him ( Luke 17:3 ). Thus the Holy Ghost was not given yet as an indwelling person, but rather a reiteration of the Father's promise. Many a man is consciously unworthy, because he feels himself a sinner who has no just sense of his littleness in the presence of God. This is not the theme predicted by prophets, but a glory which the person of Jesus alone can account for, and His grace alone introduce to. The reason is that making a "bed" was a pain in the ass and people, esp poor people, just need a place to sleep. Thus at the present time the Turks are the actual holders of it. The suffering but now risen Son of man takes the universal field of the world, and sends His disciples among all the nations to make disciples, and baptize them into the name of the Trinity.

So, in the next scene at Jerusalem, this finds its full display; for the Lord Jesus comes into their midst, and partakes of food before their eyes. Kennedy Williamson tells of an old man who was dying. May we prove that it is indeed like Christ, of whom it speaks, needed, real, and unerring light to our souls; that it is also the sole, adequate, and irrefragable witness of divine wisdom and grace, but this only as revealed in and by Christ!

"Oh darn, if only I had been grinding grain like the Bible said, then I'd have had a 50% chance of getting taken.". This one stresses the distant future and the Second Coming. So difficult is the path of faith for men in one direction or another, that (in earlier days when, in the midst of adversaries and full of superstition, men yet clung to the stainless honour of the Son of God)the timid orthodox ventured on the bold step of expunging verses Luke 22:44-45; for what, after all, is so adventurous as this Uzzah-like anxiety for the ark of God? They thought of having the kingdom of the Messiah set up in external splendour: "No," saith Christ, "we must go by the cross to the crown. Christianity is based not on the work only but on the glory of the person and place of Him who is glorified in God. He who on the cross tasted, for expiation, the unutterable woe of which Matthew and Mark speak, is the same Jesus who, Luke tells us, never wavered for a moment, not merely in His obedience, but in unreserved confidence in God; and the expression of this, not of atonement, I read in the precious words, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit." The seal of the Holy Ghost is unknown until there is the submission of faith to the death of Jesus. Woe to them that are thus at ease in Zion. The only reason why men have so spoken of that evangelist is because they turn aside his prophecy of the end of the age to that which has been already accomplished. This was the sole warrant and ground. is, thither will the eagles be gathered together." For example, an English professor once told my class that the word "plowing" in a poem meant sex. Christ's reply to this demand, directed to the Pharisees first, and afterwards to his own disciples, who knew better how to understand it (Luke 17:22; Luke 17:22); what he said to both, he saith to us. He had been really a conscientious man. 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?) 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. First of all, then, we have, for the disciples, God's ways in grace, in the Son of man that first suffers, and finally will appear in power and glory. For, behold, the kingdom of God is [entos you, among you] ( Luke 17:21 ). You wouldn't be as sick as you are if you just had enough faith." Here is an example of a great law of life. There is no greater mistake than to suppose, that an object of affection to Him before He died ceases to be such to Him when risen. "It will have a silent entrance, without pomp, without noise; it cometh not with observation," meta paratereseos--with outward show. Luke 17:34 (NKJV). Sexy dancing was called "bump and grind.". It was the power of faith leaving Judaism to itself, mounting in Jesus to the source of both law and grace, but not putting the legal system down. They are not absolutely dependent on the resurrection. That's pretty simplistic and I hope to keep it that way. The healing of the blind man was a kind of final testimony that Messiah was there. There is, therefore, in this, as it appears to me, an ample and divine reason why the Spirit of God led the writer to present the cure of the blind man as we find it. Luke 17:34 | New King James Version (NKJV) [ 34 ] I Was this the condition of the disciples as yet? Be assured that we know but in part, and have much to learn, especially of that which does not touch our own immediate necessities; but there is one thing we are always responsible for and that is, to submit to God, to believe Him, even though we enter very little into the depths of all that He has written for us of Jesus. It is the old way that wicked men have trodden, that have gone slumbering to hell, as if their damnation slumbered while they did. Now in another place He said, "If your faith as a grain of mustard seed you can say to yon mountain be thou removed into the sea and it would happen." There was His body; it was risen. Thank You, Lord, for Your truth that has set us free. That's so hard, isn't it? It doesn't get any better than that when it comes to remnants still stubbornly hanging-on. In the old days, people actually went to sleep when they were in bed! This was especially of value for Gentiles, because it was one of the great problems for the heathen mind, whether the soul existed after death, not to speak of the resurrection of the body. But the open adversaries are called into the scene; and as the Lord here pronounces those men His enemies which would not :that He should reign over them, He says, "Bring them hither, and slay them before me." Their love lingered. He never cast out either a soul that came to Him, or a prayer that was founded on His glory, and desired association with Him. We have, after these, the Sadducees denying the resurrection. or, lo there!" They were all wrong therefore, in looking for the kingdom of God immediately to appear. This may be the way of men, to avoid what they can, and think as little as possible of what is painful and disagreeable. A similar truth appears also later on in the case of the converted thief. What would Christ's kingdom be to him, if his sins were not blotted out? Jesus said, "Were the ten not cleansed? Gods great intervention in human affairs will affect people worldwide. Look as far back as the old world, when all flesh had corrupted their way, and the earth was filled with violence. Our Lord, however, shows that it was not the time to think or speak of such matters. It was better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he was cast into the sea, than he should offend one of these little ones ( Luke 17:2 ). ._1LHxa-yaHJwrPK8kuyv_Y4{width:100%}._1LHxa-yaHJwrPK8kuyv_Y4:hover ._31L3r0EWsU0weoMZvEJcUA{display:none}._1LHxa-yaHJwrPK8kuyv_Y4 ._31L3r0EWsU0weoMZvEJcUA,._1LHxa-yaHJwrPK8kuyv_Y4:hover ._11Zy7Yp4S1ZArNqhUQ0jZW{display:block}._1LHxa-yaHJwrPK8kuyv_Y4 ._11Zy7Yp4S1ZArNqhUQ0jZW{display:none} Nor is this out of keeping with the tenor of Luke's Gospel, as, indeed, it is only here that we have the story at all.

(iii) Luke 17:5-6 tell us that faith is the greatest force in the world. In the Gospel of John where the person of Jesus shines so conspicuously, the Holy Ghost is set forth personally, with equal distinctness at least, in Luke 14:1-35; Luke 16:1-31. In Luke 23:1-56 Jesus is found not before Pilate only, but Herod; and the two men who heretofore hated each other are here reconciled, now that it is a question of rejecting Jesus. They will continue secure, will go on in their neglect and opposition of Christ and his gospel, till all the Christians are withdrawn from among them and gone to the place of refuge. And I think that was from the 1800s, not the 1600s. In that day, he which shall be upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house, let him not come down to take it away: and he that is in the field, let him likewise not return back. what it entails being a servant. The rest fled. On this alone God can put His seal. Whatever there had been working in him at any time all was now swallowed up in the presence of the Son of man seeking and saving the lost. There is a place for rebuke. Few of us at the moment, believed we could ever forget; but few of us in the end satisfy the debt of gratitude we owe. He takes the same place now after His death and resurrection, there resuming relations with His disciples. Was it a fitting time for speaking of himself? Wherever the wicked are, who are marked for perdition, they shall be found out by the judgments of God; as wherever a dead carcase is, the birds of prey will smell it out, and make a prey of it. For what was in that cup? Here it is prayer out of the midst of circumstances of desolation and deep trial prayer with evil near at hand, as well as divine judgment. 20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! In Luke the same thing, occurs here, as we said applied to His account of the sermon on the mount. This is the reason why difficulties are felt and abound. Hence he lets nothing stand in the way. For this list, we'll be taking a deep dive into the strangest instances of collective false memories, otherwise known as the Mandela effect.. He that blesses us not only communicates a blessing, but gives the power that returns to God a blessing the power of real worship communicated to human hearts on the earth, by the Lord Jesus now risen from the dead. It was a real work within: it was not merely a work ever so perfectly done outside. He would have said, "Lord, do not remember my sins." Who could longer doubt that it was really the same Jesus who died, and will yet come in glory? You would be prone to think that the person wasn't sincere. Here is Luke 17:30-33, It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. 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." I take it to be a token of great good that, as in early days, the person of Christ was not only the fiercest battleground and prime object of the final struggle of the apostles on the earth, but was the means whereby the Spirit of God wrought to give a deeper and deepening enjoyment of the truth and grace of God more profoundly searching, no doubt, but at the same time more invigorating for the saints), so no otherwise, unless I be greatly mistaken, is it now.

"You enquire when it will come, and are not aware that it is already begun to be set up in the midst of you. Where shall those perish that are left?" And it's no help to tell a person, "Well, if you just had enough faith you wouldn't be in this condition, brother." Is the Goat and Sheep judgment also the White Throne judgment? There never was any one that had such a sense of death before as Jesus, just because He was life, the energy of which, combined with perfect; love, made the power of death to be so sensible.

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. Matthew 24:23-28; Matthew 24:37-39), though the differences suggest separate teaching situations.

Substantially Mark gives Galilee for the active life of the Saviour like Matthew, because, as has been said, there His ministry was chiefly exercised, and only occasionally in Jerusalem or elsewhere. And Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled."

We must always remember that we approach no task alone, but that with us there is God and all his power. Its desolation He predicts, and destruction, because the time of its visitation was unknown. He received more than just the healing of his leprosy. But which of you, who has a servant plowing or feeding your cattle, will say to him by and by, when he's come in from the field, Go and sit down and eat your dinner? Would they get left out? The lepers came to Jesus with desperate longing; he cured them; and nine never came back to give thanks. The utmost which can or ought to be allowed is, that if the context so required, it might bear the translation (a paraphrase rather) of coming nigh; but this case demands the very reverse. .FIYolDqalszTnjjNfThfT{max-width:256px;white-space:normal;text-align:center} It would be wrong to say that the kingdom of God was in the Pharisees. God will provide for them on the other side Jordan, and then a deluge of judgments shall flow in upon them, which will destroy all the unbelieving Jews. That simply meant that a thing would happen when the necessary conditions were fulfilled. Matthew 16:1-4). It is to man according to his unbelief. That they continued in their security and sensuality, till the threatened judgment came. He is alone.

We had some people come to Calvary a while back looking for my wife; they thought her name was Romaine, because of the reference that I have made to Romaine from time to time. (Ver. They were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building, but, on the day on which Lot went out of Sodom, fire and brimstone rained from heaven and wiped them all out. In Luke 22:1-71 we see our Lord with the disciples not now as a prophet, but about to become a sacrifice meanwhile giving them the sweetest pledge of His love. On the contrary, though the true God, He was a true man, and a holy sufferer, having a heart that felt every thing: this is the truth of Christ as man. 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. She's my wife. 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.

The kingdom of the Messiah is not to be a local thing, but is to be dispersed far and wide over the face of the whole earth; it shall shine from Jerusalem to all parts about, and that in a moment. 26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. Neither shall they say, Lo here! The arm that had upheld them, and the shield that had been over them, are removed. (Verses Luke 22:24-27.). He received salvation. A common misfortune had broken down the racial and national barriers. Thus there is no exaggerated description. Luke 24:45-49.) But, as usual, with men without the revealed light of God, though conscious when sin is done that there is something utterly wrong it is soon forgotten; so here, though not without the sense that the case was desperate, they go not only as sheep without a shepherd, but stumble in the dark night. Also, there was a 1970s song, "I just died in your arms tonight." Two men in shining array stood by these perplexed saints. Next, He introduces the last days. And he goes out and gets a couple of doves and he brings one in. So the Lord here settles it for them personally.
