In another case a leper came and said, "Lord, if You will, You can make me clean." "[38] The evidence, however, favors the other view. It was not a question of peace on earth now. "Within you" is a poor translation here. Griesbach thinks it might have been omitted on account of the similar ending, (see the preceding verse,) or that it was borrowed from Matthew 24:40. The Greek word (skandalon, G4625) is exactly the same word as the English scandal. Why seek ye the living (One) among the dead? (Verses Luke 18:18-25.). Of all living creatures man requires longest to become able to meet the needs essential for life. Luke 18:15-17). The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon that makes us question even the most mundane memories from the past. Instead of bringing Gentiles to see the glory of Jehovah shining on Zion, they are to be baptized into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, as now revealed fully; and (instead of what Moses commanded) "teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.". There will be an irreversible separation between those who have lived for themselves and those who have put Gods interests first (Luke 17:31-36). Luke 22:23; Luke 22:23.) (Weren't they grinding grain?). (i) Luke 17:1-2 condemn the man who teaches others to sin. And there are two basic interpretations. A very important study that also explains this illustration is, Seven Signs of Christs Second Coming.. That's no mere oversight or error. 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. Faith invariably discovers the way to give glory to God. In the resurrection state there will be no such relations. (1.) Thus the parable is a very complete sketch of the general results of the Lord's second advent for the citizens of the world, as well as of the occupation and reward of the servants who serve Him faithfully meanwhile. No doubt there was the deepest of suffering for Himself. You left out all the positive stuff. The natural light disappeared, and Judaism vanished, that a new and true light might shine, making him who saw it free of the holiest of all. This great and glorious fact superseded all others. "It will have a silent entrance, without pomp, without noise; it cometh not with observation," meta paratereseos--with outward show. Come quickly, Lord Jesus! In the ten lepers this blessed principle is brought out clearly. But now all was to change; and the disciple must be as his Master. Materialism always is essentially infidel, though far from being, the only form of infidelity. But, inLuke 16:1-31; Luke 16:1-31, blessedness and misery at once are felt by the soul in the dissolution of the link with the body. Then he turns to Jesus, and says, "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." Many of us never even offer a grace before meat. Anything short of this, anything other than this, whatever supplants it as fundamental truth, is false. This indicates that the Lord is looking for thanks when He has worked in a person's life. But he will need to learn to light a candle of patience and wait. And so our Lord Jesus vindicates him. It is man giving up himself as altogether bad, man resting upon God as altogether good to the bad, and both proved in the remission of sins by Jesus, whom man, Jew and Gentile, crucified and slew. And he said unto his disciples, The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days the Son of man, and you will not see it. Undoubtedly Israel ought to have been the green tree of promise; but it was only a dry tree waiting, for judgment. The unstated reason is implicit, namely, to judge some and not the others. He said to them, "Where the body is, there the vultures will be gathered together.". Say, I'm an unprofitable servant. Here the Lord does not say, "Make disciples of all the Gentiles, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you." Web( Luke 17:1 ) You can't live your life unscathed. The point of these examples is that when Jesus returns He will separate people, even those who are intimate companions. Luke shows it as a question of the heart's state and trust in God. The people seem conscious that it was all over with them stricken in heart over a deed they could not but feel to be dreadful, though hardly defined. He's called these disciples to be a servant. But the main idea is their close association. In the same way, so it was in the days of Lot. All then becomes right: he is brought into the light of God; he sees light in God's light. (Verses Luke 19:41-44.) . We praise the Lord for His goodness to us. if he repents, forgive him ( Luke 17:3 ). So you can see that the two interpretations are exactly opposite. That's pretty simplistic and I hope to keep it that way. ), Luke 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. You would be prone to think that the person wasn't sincere. ._12xlue8dQ1odPw1J81FIGQ{display:inline-block;vertical-align:middle} He takes that place as man. but I am among you as he that serveth." Now this was the necessary thing when a . When and where does the Goat and Sheep judgment occur? When Messiah the Prince comes to set up his kingdom, they shall not say, Lo here, or Lo there, as when a prince goes in progress to visit his territories it is in every body's mouth, he is here, or he is there; for where the king is there is the court. He will avenge them speedily. Observe, that he who exemplifies this action of divine grace was one that knew not traditional religion as the others did, that had no great privileges to boast of in comparison with the rest. To seek to put a stumbling stone or a block in their faith of Jesus Christ.Jesus said much the same thing at another occasion in which He took a little child and was using a child for an example. (Ver. This last is ever a great point with Luke the emphatic value always of any part of God's word, but especially of the words of Jesus. Immediately after (and, if I mistake not, expressly put in close conjunction with this) is the parable of the nobleman who goes into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. People usually quote The Wizard of Oz as Toto, were not in Kansas anymore.. Hence He says, "Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer." And they remembered his words." The Christian standard takes the Rabbinic standard, doubles it and adds one; but it is not a matter of calculation. Be thou clean. So it was here: and it is of great importance that those who maintain the work for, should equally maintain the work in. Temptation may come and test the heart; but our entering into it is quite another thing. At first, indeed, you will have wonderful success" (so they had, when thousands were added to the church in a day); "but do not think it will be always so; no, you will be persecuted and scattered, silenced and imprisoned, so that you will not have opportunities of preaching the gospel without fear, as you now have; people will grow cool to it, when they have enjoyed it awhile, so that you will not see such harvests of souls gathered in to Christ afterwards as at first, nor such multitudes flocking to him as doves to their windows." A common misfortune had broken down the racial and national barriers. It was their reluctance to receive what Jesus taught that made the difficulty; and it is the same thing still with believers, as with others. The Lord said, "If you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you would say to this sycamine tree, 'Be rooted up and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you. ( Luke 17:1 ). If the death of our Lord does not unlock a man's heart and tongue, I do not know what will. "Behold the fig-tree and all the trees." But where the heart knows the work done for the soul, there is a work done in that very soul. Jesus told them that since he was the Messiah and was living among them, the Messiahs kingdom had already begun (Luke 17:20-21; cf. Depend upon it, we cannot be too stringent in maintaining, the importance both of the resurrection, and of the immediate blessedness or misery of the soul separate from the body before the resurrection. It is not, as in the Gospel of Matthew, the Lord giving different gifts to different servants, which is equally true; but here it is the moral test of the servants carried out by each having the same sum. But if God invites a believer now to draw near into the holiest of all, is it not equal presumption for that soul to quarrel with the grace of God displayed in Christ's work of redemption, and to raise questions about its effects for itself? That the setting up of the kingdom of the Messiah would introduce the destruction of the Jewish nation, whom it would find in a deep sleep of security, and drowned in sensuality, as the old world was in the days of Noah, and Sodom in the days of Lot, Luke 17:26; Luke 17:26, c. Observe. The Lord is exhorting to prayer, in view of the final trial; nevertheless, He prefaces it with a plain moral precept on the value. If I'm to be forgiven, I must repent. It is not a question, however, of His merely being God; and you destroy the value of the suffering if you do not give full place to His humanity. Luke 20:39-44; Luke 20:39-44) our Lord puts the great question of His own person and the position He was just going to take not on the throne of David but on the throne of God. They just cried out and Jesus called back and said, "Go show yourself to the priest." This is As King Lear said in the day of his own tragedy. They "were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God;" but they were associated in life and love with One whose glory was far above them or any conceivable precincts of the earth, and were soon to be made one with Him, and to be the vessels of His power by the energy of the Holy Ghost, who would make this evident in due time. The death of Jesus is the sole foundation of safety for a sinful man. The nine--where are they? (VerseLuke 24:31; Luke 24:31. In this passage it is even clearer that Jesus was referring to His second coming because He said the coming of the Son of Man. This means the illustration of the two men in the field or the two women grinding is not about the rapture. The original KJV of the Bible is no longer what it was. Nothing could better show the utter isolation in which lepers lived. It was not the point with Luke to say "for many," while this was most appropriate in the Gospel of Matthew, because it intimates the extending of the efficacy of Christ's blood beyond the Jew. And so the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed ( Luke 17:6 ). There was a sense of grace, as well as of sin, and sensitiveness about God's will. We have similar teaching elsewhere. A Definitive Study of the Rapture of the Church, pp. OMFG LOL It's right there. The last chapter gave in the judgment of present things, another world and eternal things in good and evil, the Lord's instruction for the disciples after the dealings of grace in Luke 15:1-32, and this as the only true power of estimating the present world (that is to say, by the standard of the future the eternal future of God. Our Lord, however, first of all lays down this great principle: it is no question of a "lo here! He saw nothing of the sort. But, at the same time, Luke never confines his view to outward facts. It was not a question of man's walking righteously, or of talking about it. He received salvation. 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. He led them out, then, as far as Bethany, the retreat of the Saviour, to which His heart turned in the days of His flesh. Do not depart, and do not follow them. Was not He Himself, David's Son owned as his Lord by David? Thus Jesus sets forth the Only way in which He can be rightly known, or that can be confided in. They have warning given by Christ now, and will have it repeated to them by the apostles after him, as they had by Noah and Lot; but it will be all in vain. 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." Our Lord is next (ver. What is being referred to wherever the body is there will the eagles be gathered together. There was no confidence in His grace. 3. what a pattern! Out of this difficult passage we can pick only the things which are certain--and in truth they are enough. Only there is a difficulty here to some that Luke appears to contradict what we have in the other accounts of this part of Christ's progress. I didn't know mustard seeds had faith. 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. 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 . ._2ik4YxCeEmPotQkDrf9tT5{width:100%}._1DR1r7cWVoK2RVj_pKKyPF,._2ik4YxCeEmPotQkDrf9tT5{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center}._1DR1r7cWVoK2RVj_pKKyPF{-ms-flex-pack:center;justify-content:center;max-width:100%}._1CVe5UNoFFPNZQdcj1E7qb{-ms-flex-negative:0;flex-shrink:0;margin-right:4px}._2UOVKq8AASb4UjcU1wrCil{height:28px;width:28px;margin-top:6px}.FB0XngPKpgt3Ui354TbYQ{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-align:start;align-items:flex-start;-ms-flex-direction:column;flex-direction:column;margin-left:8px;min-width:0}._3tIyrJzJQoNhuwDSYG5PGy{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;width:100%}.TIveY2GD5UQpMI7hBO69I{font-size:12px;font-weight:500;line-height:16px;color:var(--newRedditTheme-titleText);white-space:nowrap;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis}.e9ybGKB-qvCqbOOAHfFpF{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;width:100%;max-width:100%;margin-top:2px}.y3jF8D--GYQUXbjpSOL5.y3jF8D--GYQUXbjpSOL5{font-weight:400;box-sizing:border-box}._28u73JpPTG4y_Vu5Qute7n{margin-left:4px} It is not necessarily a question of coming near, but simply of being in the neighbourhood. Again, I like this because it shows us the variety with which Jesus worked His works among men. h Vid. The effect, then, of that which was imminent was not peace for the earth yet, but peace in heaven most assuredly; and therefore we can comprehend how the Lord guided by His Spirit the song of the disciples at the close just as much as at the beginning; that of the angels expressed the general idea of God's purposes the moral effects to spring from the death of the incarnate Son. We have the priests with their question of authority (ver. For, behold, the kingdom of God is [entos you, among you] ( Luke 17:21 ). He was a demonstration of a man submitted to the authority of God. It is only Luke who gives us this touch. The other Gospels connect it with the future; Luke speaks of what was to be made good shortly "righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. It was as if he said, "The whole offer and secret of God are here--and you will not accept them.". There is no worse invention against the truth, unless it be the lie which denies Him to be God the Son. Therefore, the convicted publican is found outside, beating his breast, and standing at a distance, not so much as looking up. And he was a Samaritan. It tells us to forgive seven times. The kingdom of God will not change men's outward condition, but their hearts and lives. Now a lot of times we are made to feel very guilty"Well, brother, if you just had enough faith. 4. As we know, the Lord deigns to go yet farther in John; but there it was to convict Thomas's unbelief, as well as with a mysterious typical meaning behind. . There was no sexual intent at all in this verse. At any rate the scorning of Jesus proceeds; and Pilate, carried away against his conscience by the will of the people, gave sentence that it should be as they required. There is a warning here. . Such was man, to whom He had been delivered! The reason seems to me manifest. To make those matters worse, this was all foretold in the Bible itself that a time would come when a great "famine" would descend upon all of mankind and that people would search far and wide for the word of God and not be able to find it. But you can't generate faith. He fell on his face at Jesus' feet and kept on thanking him. "Were there not ten cleansed?" It is beyond all controversy, that here the human side of Christ's death is more vividly portrayed than in any of the Gospels perfect, but human; just as in John it is the divine side, though care is taken to prove particularly there its reality, as well as the witness of its efficacy for sinful man. It gets its name from an incident in 2010, when many people on the internet said they clearly or, lo there!" To me it is a grievous thing, this denial practically of a large part of the sufferings of Christ. Catch myself a couple of times almost running off the road. The answer is no! It is described in Matthew 25:31-46. 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. Further, He opens their understanding to understand the Scriptures, and gives them their great commission, but bids them remain in Jerusalem till endued with power from on high, when He sends them the promise of the Father. /*# sourceMappingURL=https://www.redditstatic.com/desktop2x/chunkCSS/TopicLinksContainer.3b33fc17a17cec1345d4_.css.map*/About the 1990s poker players would call someone who ground out a living on the poker circuit a "grinder."
