Many slang terms have changed within my life. The one in chapter 21 deals mainly with the near future from Jesus perspective and the destruction of Jerusalem. . I've read the bible all the way through a few times, there's some strange stuff in there, lol. It gets its name from an incident in 2010, when many people on the internet said they clearly Darth Vader famously says, Luke, I am your father, in Star Wars: Episode VThe Empire Strikes Back. 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. We have only to think of the number of scientific marvels, of the number of surgical operations, of the feats of endurance which today have been achieved and which less than fifty years ago would have been regarded as utterly impossible. Unbelief finds its own response as truly as faith does. Forgive me?" THE RARITY OF GRATITUDE ( Luke 17:11-19 ), 17:11-19 When Jesus was on the way to Jerusalem, he was going along between Samaria and Galilee; and, as he entered a village, ten lepers, who stood far off, met him. They would use completely different slang then. There is not a witness for Jesus now. No doubt man was guilty beyond measure and without excuse. Does God forgive a man without repentance? We cannot discharge our duty to God by proxy nor even by association. The wrath of God. (Luke 19:1-10.). I tell you, in that night there'll be two in one bed; the one will be taken, the other will be left. For me, I have never known them to be different and I do remember these verses because I too noticed that in modern term people would interpret them differently. 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? In that night contrasts with "in that day" (Luke 17:31); and some of the ancient skeptics scoffed at the idea that Jesus' coming could be both at night and in the daytime also; but present knowledge of the fact that it is always night on part of the earth, and always day on the other part, has eliminated the question from the writings of modern critics. Our Lord here gives this further lesson to the disciples, and uses a child as the text. That simply meant that a thing would happen when the necessary conditions were fulfilled. Luke 23:54-56.) Do you have to forgive him if he doesn't repent? Thank God for the charge, I hope it's true. One will be taken and the other left." Sexy dancing was called "bump and grind.". But in this Gospel the last words are of One who, whatever the forsaking of God for sin, was perfectly tranquil, and peacefully committed Himself to His Father. 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. It is not the value of persistent prayer, and the certainty of God appearing even for the weakest, no matter how apparently deserted (indeed, so much the more, because of it in His own). "Within you" is a poor translation here. But this was in its principle the judgment of the Jewish system. And they will say to you, 'Look there! He would have said, "Lord, do not remember my sins." He first must suffer many things, and be rejected by this generation. Matthew passes by the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, and fixes attention upon that which will take place in the end of the age. The kingdom of God was not designed to be the glory of one people only, but to give light to the Gentiles; for as the lightning that lightens out of one part under heaven, and shines all on a sudden irresistibly to the other part under heaven, so shall also the Son of man be in his day." Repentance, so far from allowing it, is the perception and confession that there is no good in man, in me; it is wrought by grace, and is inseparable from faith. This he had never suspected in himself before. I do wish that the Lord would increase my faith.Now this business of faith, though, becomes a very tough issue, because so many times we find ourselves trying to generate faith. Again, I like this because it shows us the variety with which Jesus worked His works among men. These were the persons who most of all set themselves against it. 3. For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" Christianity is based not on the work only but on the glory of the person and place of Him who is glorified in God. Was not He Himself, David's Son owned as his Lord by David? But now all was to change; and the disciple must be as his Master. The Messiah was about to be openly cut off. He was now about to face death; first in spirit, then in fact. Then it comes when it makes those humble, and serious, and heavenly, that were proud, and vain, and carnal,--when it weans those from the world that were wedded to the world; and therefore look for the kingdom of God in the revolutions of the heart, not of the civil government. 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." 5. And there are two basic interpretations. Weren't there ten that were cleansed? 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). On the person and position of Christ depends the whole of Christianity. And when he saw them, he said to them, Go your way and show yourselves unto the priests. (Ver. 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. Always been this way for me. (iii) Luke 17:5-6 tell us that faith is the greatest force in the world. Luke, on the contrary, says nothing of Galilee at this point. Out of this difficult passage we can pick only the things which are certain--and in truth they are enough. "We indeed justly; but this man hath done nothing amiss." Like the martyred saints he will cry out, "How long?" He was indeed a real man, albeit the Lord of glory. He alone of the two judged things according to his little light. What is my duty? Who that believes and understands the cross could dream longer of man's worthiness? It fell therefore, within the domain of these two. He tells the disciples that it was they who had continued with Him in His temptations. It is the ever perfect man, Christ Jesus, with unwavering confidence committing His spirit into His Father's keeping. And it is a great failing of mine not to give her more recognition for those good traits, those beautiful traits that she has. Does not the account of the rich man and Lazarus intimate the same thing? 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. Thank you, Lord, I needed that. Luke tells us what had the largest bearing on the Gentiles, on the heart, its wants, and its affections. These seem out of place in the Bible. Here is Matthew 24:37-39. So I think it's proper with the disciples just say, "Lord, increase my faith. (Ver. Luke 17:34 describes what will happen after the judgment. However, in Matthew, Galilee is the sign for a converted Jewish remnant till He come to reign in power and glory. 27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all. what a pattern! How infinite the blessing! In Luke 17:1-37 there follow further lessons communicated still to the disciples; and first of all, a solemn warning as to stumbling-blocks. Comes back again before the priest, and he looks over him again, and there's no new eruptions or blotches then the man is proclaimed cleaned by the priest. The Greek word (skandalon, G4625) is exactly the same word as the English scandal. We shall find how much it was needed if we look into the Gospel of Luke. The Lord is exhorting to prayer, in view of the final trial; nevertheless, He prefaces it with a plain moral precept on the value. This was for other hands. for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you." This is the true way of knowing Jesus for a Christian. This, at least, was quite right, and like the God of all grace. But Jesus, the green tree(where there was all the vigour of holy ways and obedience), was far from honour, and now on His way to the cross. 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. LOL, As for grinding, same thing. The original KJV of the Bible is no longer what it was. But, in truth it is impossible to go on with God aright, until the personal question is settled by divine grace. You're not gonna see an outward display of the kingdom at this time. Ego and soul? In another case a leper came and said, "Lord, if You will, You can make me clean." We must live so that whenever he comes, at morning, at midday or at evening, he will find us ready. cleansed by water and blood. He's called these disciples to be a servant. Yea, more; not only the existence of the soul separate from the body, after death, of course) but also blessedness and misery at once. What grace! 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. 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 itself it discovers the blessedness of freedom from the law, yet is not lawless to God, but, on the contrary, legitimately bound ( ) to Christ, really and duly subject to Him, and so much the more because not under law. Who fails to see it, or would harbour a doubt, that knows who Jesus was, and what the glory of His person? He saw God His Father above and behind all the secondary instruments, and bowed and blessed, even while He prayed with blood-sweat. These offenses, as people challenge your faith, as people ridicule you for your walk with Jesus Christ, it's gonna happen. His resurrection did not terminate their path of rejection. The reason seems to me manifest. Nor can it be too often repeated, that lack of intelligence in Scripture does not depend upon the obscurity of the language, but because the will does not like the truth that is taught. Before that day of His appearing there might be a premature "Lo here! (Verses Luke 20:9-19.) And so you have two interpretations. He's heading now towards Jerusalem. We have done what it was our duty to do.'". "If any of you has a slave ploughing or watching the flock, and the slave comes in from the field, will he say to him, 'Come at once and take your place at table'; or rather, will he not say to him, 'Get ready my evening meal, and gird yourself and serve me, until I eat and drink, and after that you shall eat and drink yourself'? Now I'm gonna grab my Mother's Bible and read it myself BRB. Nothing could better show the utter isolation in which lepers lived. The mind will be clear, if the conscience and the heart be set right. We see the people beholding, the rulers also with them sneering, the soldiers mocking with vulgar brutality, but Jesus dealing in ineffable grace with a justly crucified malefactor. They traversed the length and breadth of the land, everywhere bearing their plain, solemn testimony, ever guarded by God's power: just like their Master Himself. And let your light so shine before men, that when they see your good works they'll glorify your Father which is in heaven. Let me suggest to you that a mustard seed is quite small. Everyone has gotten so paranoid, readily inclining to misguided, alarmist, attention 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. Nothing of the sort. 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. 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 may even be according to men's ideas of a hero, but it is not the truth of Christ. Luke groups the external facts together, and leaves the Lord's death more alone with its moral adjuncts. The apostles said to the Lord, "Give us also faith!" When Jesus referred to the days of the Son of Man, He was speaking about His second coming, that is, the second coming of Christ. The chapter closes with Jesus before the council of elders, chief priests, and scribes. That's no mere oversight or error. The archaic King James that advised against not putting new wine into "old wineskins" but rather "new wineskins" to preserve both has now been altered to read "bottles", while the much later updated and Revised KJV that formerly read "bottles" as a more modern rendition and equivalent of that which is still in common usage today now has the more archaic "wineskins" now in that passage. Wherever the body is there will the eagles be gathered together. Faith invariably discovers the way to give glory to God. 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. And they shall say unto you, Look it's here; look it's there: now don't go after them, or follow them. Now observe concerning both these, [1.] Finding an original Luke might be easier said than done, but how about do a search on Aramaic primacy and then check here? In the gospel of Matthew, we find that Jesus was also discussing His second coming just before Matthew 24:40. It is only Luke who gives us this touch. It was the same tale at the end as at the beginning. Dorothy really says, Toto, Ive got a feeling were not in Kansas anymore.. 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. A common misfortune had broken down the racial and national barriers. (Ver. It is therefore infinitely more personal, though it be also the wondrous sight of One who, coming, with the consciousness of divine power to banish death and bring life into the scene, yet in grace nevertheless did not one whit the less, but the more, feel the power of death as no mere man ever felt, yet as none but a real man could feel. The kingdom was actually there; for He, God's King was there. It is the more striking, because the circumstances are evidently limited; while that which He draws from them is universal. Note, Those do best themselves that trust God in the way of duty. The same can be said of all religious texts, cults, governments, militaries, and so on and so forth. Just keep the record clear. Sometimes they will be under inward restraints, will not have such tokens of the presence of the Son of man with them as they have had. Undoubtedly Israel ought to have been the green tree of promise; but it was only a dry tree waiting, for judgment. There is another word for the vultures that feed upon the flesh of men at the great battle of Armageddon. But I believe that Lot is a classic sign of God's ability to deliver the righteous while reserving the ungodly for the day of judgment as Peter tells us in his second epistle.
