Wherever there is sin, there the divine judgment will fall (Luke 17:37). Unbelief finds its own response as truly as faith does. Note, We must not think that Christ's church and cause are lost because not always alike visible and prevailing. There is a place for rebuke. The difference between Luke and the others is this not that you have not the Jewish portion in his Gospel but that, moreover all the Gentiles are brought in. They could not understand Him, no matter how plain the words employed. Kennedy Williamson tells of an old man who was dying. Certainly, too, His suffering, though not confined to the cross, there culminated, as there alone was sin judged; there God's necessary intolerance of it was proved, when only, but most really, imputed to Christ. "Art thou then the Son of God?" What had He not given up, and for whom? For as a snare shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth."

The scene is complete. WebThis is a phenomenon where a large group of people collectively misremember a fact. "Were there not ten cleansed?" Two men in shining array stood by these perplexed saints. [4.] In some time of bitter need we pray with desperate intensity; the time passes and we forget God. 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. 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." [5.] Put your nose to the grindstone."

Is it not often true that a husband leaves the duties of the church to his wife? 22 And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. The Son of man must suffer many things. Jesus must first suffer; so "the sufferings of Christ," as Peter said afterwards, "and the glories that should follow."

Luke tells us what had the largest bearing on the Gentiles, on the heart, its wants, and its affections. .
