"And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. Many good interpreters understand it of the gathering of the saints together to Christ in the kingdom of glory: "Ask not where the carcase will be, and how they shall find the way to it, for they shall be under infallible direction; to him who is their living, quickening Head, and the centre of their unity, to him shall the gathering of the people be.". There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.". It was not called this in the 1970s, but the songwriter was hiding it by using the really old slang. Even in this case, where the effect was produced rapidly, the Spirit of God has given us the great moral traits of it. * "Testament" is wrong here, and, indeed, everywhere else in the New Testament, save in the parenthesis ofHebrews 9:16-17; Hebrews 9:16-17. That now reads "and the wolf shall dwell with the lamb". This is the true way of knowing Jesus for a Christian. There was not a word of all this when He spoke of the siege and capture of the city under Titus. Man was not good God only. No doubt man was guilty beyond measure and without excuse. We walk by faith, not by sight. 35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. The wrath of God. 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). 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. 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. In some time of bitter need we pray with desperate intensity; the time passes and we forget God. It was not a question of peace on earth now. ( Luke 17:1 ). Not a word about the great tribulation such as never was since time was; it is simply "days of vengeance." After the Gentile domination is over (which clearly it is not yet), there shall be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and distress of nations; men's hearts failing them forfear; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken and then shall they see not when the Romans of old took the city but, in the future crisis, when these astonishing tokens, heavenly and earthly, are given by God then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. They lifted up their voices and said, "Jesus, Master, have pity upon us." You have a choice between the two. It is evident, whether you go into a place or whether you come out of it, you are equally nigh on one side of the town or on the other. And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. Memories are complex and influenced by various factors. Again, it is a scene peculiar to Luke, that, in the presence of the Saviour's death, Satan sifts one of the chief followers that belonged to the Saviour. That is what he looked for when he sought to be remembered, when Jesus comes in His kingdom. Alstorph. 1. Taken up to escape the Great Tribulation period. Then, after settling this moral truth which was fundamental for the soul, He turns to His disciples, and tells them that the days would come when they should desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and should not see it; for the kingdom will be displayed by and by. We have seen how this chapter settles, if I may so express it, the Christian system on its proper basis, bringing out its chief peculiarities with striking force and beauty. Now Christ is where his gospel, and his ordinances, and his church are: For where two or three are gathered in his name there is he in the midst of them, and thither therefore others will be gathered to him. His having power to banish death weakened His sense of it in no respect. Now, whenever I read something like that, I wonder, "Lord, how much faith do I have?" Hence it would seem to give an open contradiction to those that deny the reality of the resurrection body, and of its proper affections. ( Luke 17:17 ). As "it is unto thee according to thy faith," so alas! The word he used is the word used for a doctor watching a patient for symptoms of some disease which he suspects. The scene is complete. Luke 17:30-33(NASB). Your faith has made you well.". (Verses Luke 23:39-43.). We see how truly miraculous this power was apart from any exertion of it on their own behalf. The Roman soldiers will hunt the Jews out of all their recesses and fastnesses, and none shall escape. "It came to pass, that as he came nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside begging." In Luke it was the reckoning of grace. This teaching is quite similar to portions of the Olivet Discourse (cf. For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. And we think of it in quantity or in size. It is not of this world, John 18:36. They were very secure, went on in their business as unconcerned as you could imagine; they did eat, they drank, indulged themselves in their pleasures, and took no care of any thing else, but to make provision for the flesh, counted upon the perpetuity of their present flourishing state, and therefore married wives, and were given in marriage, that their families might be built up. A non-profit, 501(c)3 corporation. That God took care for the preservation of those that were his, who believed and feared, and took the warning themselves which they gave to others. I just don't say those things. Luke 18:15-17). The Greek may mean two things. But here we have another scene, His weeping over that very city that was about to cast Him out and crucify Him. Accordingly, Luke puts together those two features the grace that illustrates His first coming, and the real nature of the second coming of Christ, as far as regards the appearing of God's kingdom. In Luke all disappears, except grace, in presence of sin and misery. I was not aware until I read this post that grind was completely sexual now. you might say to this sycamine tree ( Luke 17:6 ). One of them when he saw that he was cured, turned back, glorifying God with a great voice. And he fell down on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan ( Luke 17:15-16 ). What more convincing proof that the man had not an anxiety about his sins? Need it be remarked here that this again falls in with our evangelist beyond all others? They expected that He was going to take the throne of David at once. Note, Though the stupidity of sinners in a sinful way is as strange as it is without excuse, yet we are not to think it strange, for it is not without example. He tells the disciples that it was they who had continued with Him in His temptations. And he said to him, "Rise and go! "And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them." 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. (Ver. And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body. WebClarke's Commentary. The truth is, that our English version, excellent as it is, goes a little beyond the word of Luke; for our evangelist does not say "When he was come nigh unto Jericho," but "when he was nigh." Ministers and churches will sometimes be under outward restraints. This is also characteristic of Christians. God does not leave man without witness. He said to them, "Where the body is, there the vultures will be gathered together.". It was part of the very perfection of Jesus that he felt and deprecated the awful cup. Thus Jesus was pleased, Himself with them, that the truth of His death should flash upon the two souls at Emmaus. It's an absolute necessary qualification for forgiveness. But if you had faith as a grain of mustard seed. ", He said to his disciples, "Days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man and you will not see it. These offenses, as people challenge your faith, as people ridicule you for your walk with Jesus Christ, it's gonna happen. http://qbible.com/aramaic-new-testament/luke/17.html, Have you read Ezekiel 23? For this list, we'll be taking a deep dive into the strangest instances of collective false memories, otherwise known as the Mandela effect.. The Bible often refers to "thirsting" for the word of God, or the word being the "bread" of life. These were the persons who most of all set themselves against it. Luke shows it as a question of the heart's state and trust in God. They thought it impossible that the Lord Jesus could suffer thus. It was not the Lord's Supper, but the paschal cup. Men pass them over as if there was nothing for the soul in them, as if the Saviour Son of God condescended to a show, a pantomime, instead of enduring the severest conflict and anguish that ever had been the portion of a human heart on this earth. It is a false chimera of the enemy. Now it doesn't say anything if he doesn't repent, does it? He takes that place as man. Even as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man. There was a time in our lives when a week's neglect would have killed us. I thought I Many slang terms have changed within my life. Look how good I am, look what I've done for You. We have further, in our Lord's answer to the Pharisees, who demanded when the kingdom of God should come, a striking revelation, and most suitable to Luke's purpose. In like manner, when Jesus Christ shall come to judge the world, at the end of time, sinners will be found in the same secure and careless posture, altogether regardless of the judgment approaching, which will therefore come upon them as a snare; and in like manner the sinners of every age go on securely in their evil ways, and remember not their latter end, nor the account that they must give. It will be the same on the day on which the Son of Man is revealed. When he saw them, he said, "Go, and show yourselves to the priests." From 1Thessalonians 4:13-18, it would appear that the saved are the ones who shall be "taken." [Note: See Renald E. Showers, Maranatha: Our Lord, Come! It is not that God did not accompany His message with signs. This truth was combated and refused by the most active sect among the Jews at that time, the most intellectual and the best informed naturally. So the Lord here settles it for them personally. Nothing sexual about it. It's really, "the kingdom of God is among you." 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. "It has a spiritual influence: The kingdom of God is within you." Remember Lot's wife! Monday morning was "Back to the grind.". 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. "No," saith Christ, (1.) As to the first verse, 10 or 15 years ago there was a book that suggested Lincoln was gay. Matthew 16:1-4). but I am among you as he that serveth." 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." No doubt there was the deepest of suffering for Himself. Therefore He that was (and not merely had) life, as no one else, weeps in the presence of death, groaning, in spirit at the grave. We have done what it was our duty to do.'". Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth? 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. God teaches us to know the worth of such mercies by the want of them. 23 And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. But, in truth it is impossible to go on with God aright, until the personal question is settled by divine grace. We must live so that whenever he comes, at morning, at midday or at evening, he will find us ready. Of course, they are not excluded from but exhorted to, the looking up to God, and using faithfully whatever means the Lord gave them. There was none but a blind man or two to own real need, but our Lord at least healed all who cried. If Jesus were not God, He was not good. "When I was a lad," he said, "I often played on a wide common. And Jesus said unto him, Were there not ten who were cleansed? This is what He was looking for, whatever they were. LAWS OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE ( Luke 17:1-10 ). 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. That they had fair warning given them of the ruin that was coming upon them for their sins. Wherever there is sin, there the divine judgment will fall (Luke 17:37). He had been really a conscientious man. Historians dismissed this, because times were different back then. You know, the Bible starts out with 2 naked people Nasb says there will be two in a bed, doesn't specify sex. In it, as we know, bread is broken the sign of His death. Further, we have a remarkable difference in the rewards here. You left out all the positive stuff. You seasoned that roast just perfectly, oh that was good." If he finds no new skin blotches and so forth, he puts him in the house and he sits there for seven days. That the setting up of this kingdom was a work that would meet with a great deal of opposition and interruption,Luke 17:22; Luke 17:22. And heres another Mandela Effect in the Wizards of Oz: The Wicked Witch doesnt say, Fly my pretties, fly!. When Christ comes to destroy the Jewish nation, by the Roman armies, the generality of that nation will be found under such a reigning security and stupidity as this. The seal of the Holy Ghost is unknown until there is the submission of faith to the death of Jesus. 36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. If flood surges over a piece of country and the wild animals congregate for safety on some little bit of higher ground, you will find standing peacefully together animals who are natural enemies and who at any other time would do their best to kill each other. 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. . Real faith which God gives is never so far wrong: and he who, instead of going on to the priest, recognizes in Jesus the power and goodness of God upon earth, (the instincts of that very faith that was of God working in his heart and carrying him back to the source of the blessing,) he, I say, was the only one of the ten who was in the spirit, not only of the blessing but of Him who gave the blessing. Those who believe God, instead of being fettered to the traditions of a school, good or bad, must open their mouth wide for Him to fill with His good things old and new. The NKJV translates the Greek word duoas two men in Luke 17:34, but the NASB does not. Most assuredly there never was a soul saved but the work was done for him done alone by Jesus He alone suffering, the sinner saved. What grace! Spite of indifference, an unjust judge yields to the importunity of a poor widow. Unbelief finds its own response as truly as faith does. He was God, and proved it not least in a self-abnegation truly divine. (3.) The kingdom of God will not change men's outward condition, but their hearts and lives. Faith is a gift of God. But the Lord adds more immediate blessedness now: "This day shalt thou be with me in paradise." In Luke we have not the charge of the work committed to the workmen, as in Mark, with signatures of God's gracious power accompanying; but here it is the message of a Saviour dead and risen, the Second Man, according to Scripture, and the moral need of man and the grace of God, who proclaims in His name repentance and remission to all the nations or Gentiles. ), Luke 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Such was ever His way. This is not the question here, but rather the reality of the resurrection, and the identity of Jesus risen with Him they had known as their Master, and withal as still man, not a spirit, but having flesh and bones, and capable of eating with them. And so our Lord Jesus vindicates him. Such was man, to whom He had been delivered! 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? inTruthbyGrace We find them afterwards using miracles; but it was for others. Towards the end of the chapter (ver. Next, we have the place of the servants responsible to use what the Lord gives. That all good Christians should certainly escape, but many of them very narrowly, from that destruction, Luke 17:34-36; Luke 17:34-36. I remember one day twisting it round in its socket, thus altering the arms and making them point in the wrong direction; and I've been wondering ever since how many travellers I sent on the wrong road.". Now, the Lord Jesus did feel the traitor's heartless ways (and we may learn it yet more from Psalms 109:1-31.) 32 Remember Lot's wife. Not that the Pharisee represents a man who denies God, or who is not a religious man. He's looking for that response, and He misses it when He is . But the words here are no expression of His suffering, as thus abandoned and atoning, but of the peaceful departure of His spirit, as man, into the hands of God the Father. It is not here, therefore, One speaking in the sense of God's abandonment (as we saw in Matthew and Mark), though this cup He had, indeed, drank to the dregs. I've only done what is my duty to do. It is possible that offences will come; but woe to him through whom they come! Now, it is Luke alone who thus treats the matter; the great moral value attached to prayer, at the same time connected, it may be, with general circumstances of sorrow, but bearing on the circumstances of the last day. What would be God's judgment of man? Therefore, the convicted publican is found outside, beating his breast, and standing at a distance, not so much as looking up. The Lord intimates in reply that faith grows, and even in the presence of difficulty. The final scene comes on apace; and not more surely, according to the word of Christ, the murderous malice of the priests, than the energy of Peter, so fatal, to himself, who could not face the difficulty into which his self-confidence carried him.
