His resurrection did not terminate their path of rejection. And it's no help to tell a person, "Well, if you just had enough faith you wouldn't be in this condition, brother." There was delight in "this man," Jesus, whose holiness made such an impression, that the poor felon, now a believer, could challenge all the world, and feel no more doubt of the Lord's blameless life than if he had witnessed it all through. He therefore climbs up a sycamore tree by the way; and Jesus knowing well the desire of Zaccheus, and the faith that was at work there however feebly, at once, to his joy and astonishment, invites Himself to his house. 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. Copyright Like The Master Ministries. Two might be ever so closely knit together, but God would discriminate according to the nicety of His own discernment of their state: one should be taken, and the other left. On the other hand, there is the hatred of man, the weakness of the disciples, the falsehood of Peter, the treachery of Judas, the subtlety and terrors of the enemy who had the power of death. It does not become such as say they do not understand this or that, to take the place of being judges. (Ver. His rejection was complete; and Old Testament Scripture was amply fulfilled. This is the true way of knowing Jesus for a Christian. ), Luke then ushers in another scene, still more precious, peculiar in its details at least to himself the journey to Emmaus, where Jesus joins Himself to the two downcast disciples, who discoursed, as they went, on the irreparable loss they had sustained. I hope that I'll always preach a simplistic gospel. It was an early error to suppose an impassible Christ. Jesus must first suffer; so "the sufferings of Christ," as Peter said afterwards, "and the glories that should follow." Every Scripture is inspired of God, and is profitable yea, able to make us "wise unto salvation through faith that is in Christ Jesus." For remember Lot's wife ( Luke 17:30-32 ). But if you had faith as a grain of mustard seed. Who that believes and understands the cross could dream longer of man's worthiness? He was never in a pattern. 8. And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body. What unwearied travail of love! He eats with them: He will not drink. 5. WATCH VIDEO PLAY TRIVIA. It was the last act of communion of Christ with them. It could not but be. What is Jesus saying? The kingdoms of the earth shall be leavened by the gospel ere they are aware of it." For example, an English professor once told my class that the word "plowing" in a poem meant sex. But here we may pause for a moment; for there are special and profoundly instructive touches peculiar to Luke. And so they say they are taken to be put into the great battle of Armageddon where the birds are going to come and feast upon the body of the people. The kingdom was actually there; for He, God's King was there. The state of the heart, as ever, was in question; the will was at fault, even though they were regenerate. "Take heed to yourselves. 25 But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation. not only its reckoning, but its experiences and its end! said they all. Our Lord is next (ver. He's looking for that response, and He misses it when He is . WebNo phenomenon is as fascinating as the Mandela effect. It was as if he said, "The whole offer and secret of God are here--and you will not accept them.". That they did not regard the warning given them, and gave no credit, no heed to it. Nevertheless, we again have a loud and vocal group willing to stand up and say that these too are all just more misremembering and that they've always been that way. For--look you--the kingdom of God is within you. "There shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people." This teaching is quite similar to portions of the Olivet Discourse (cf. Why seek ye the living (One) among the dead? That's so hard, isn't it? The Son of man must suffer many things. Memories are complex and influenced by various factors. Here it is not a question exactly of entering or seeing, as inJohn 3:1-36; John 3:1-36, but rather the moral character of the entrance of God's kingdom among men. 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. Now I'm gonna grab my Mother's Bible and read it myself BRB. Ministers and churches will sometimes be under outward restraints. If He was but a man there was no goodness in Him; it is only in God: God alone is good.

The pretence of commentators, who rush to hyperbole as a cover for their misapplication, is cut off. (iv) When they asked Jesus when all this would happen, he answered by quoting a well-known proverb. From the other Gospels we know it was when He went out of Jericho, not when He came in. And if he repents forgive him. Thus we find the desire for cooling of the tongue, which men of speculative mind use to prove that it was the time of being clothed with a real body. That is what he looked for when he sought to be remembered, when Jesus comes in His kingdom. This flight of theirs from Jerusalem must be expeditious, and must not be retarded by any concern about their worldly affairs (Luke 17:31; Luke 17:31): "He that shall be on the house-top, when the alarm is given, let him not come down, to take his stuff away, both because he cannot spare so much time, and because the carrying away of his effects will but encumber him and retard his flight." There is but one way that can be trusted in which we can know Jesus. 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. 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. 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. Does God forgive a man without repentance? And as they went they were cleansed. 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. It is not a revolution in material things that we are to look for, but a revolution in the hearts of men. Such is the invariable method of God in dealing with a sinful world, where He brings in, not a test of man, but the effectual work of His own grace. And heres another Mandela Effect in the Wizards of Oz: The Wicked Witch doesnt say, Fly my pretties, fly!. To me it is a grievous thing, this denial practically of a large part of the sufferings of Christ. Luke 17:34 and Matthew 24:40 both describe events that will occur at the Goat and Sheep Judgment. How can we know the Messiah would be God incarnate? They are not absolutely dependent on the resurrection. God has many arrows in his quiver, and uses which he will in making war upon his rebellious subjects, for he can make which he will effectual. Our Lord, however, cuts it all short. ._1EPynDYoibfs7nDggdH7Gq{margin-bottom:8px;position:relative}._1EPynDYoibfs7nDggdH7Gq._3-0c12FCnHoLz34dQVveax{max-height:63px;overflow:hidden}._1zPvgKHteTOub9dKkvrOl4{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;font-weight:400;word-wrap:break-word}._1dp4_svQVkkuV143AIEKsf{-ms-flex-align:baseline;align-items:baseline;background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-body);bottom:-2px;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-ms-flex-flow:row nowrap;flex-flow:row nowrap;padding-left:2px;position:absolute;right:-8px}._5VBcBVybCfosCzMJlXzC3{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:400;line-height:21px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText)}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI{position:relative;background-color:0;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);border:0;padding:0 8px}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:before{content:"";position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border-radius:9999px;background:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaText);opacity:0}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:hover:before{opacity:.08}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:focus{outline:none}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:focus:before{opacity:.16}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI._2Z_0gYdq8Wr3FulRLZXC3e:before,._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:active:before{opacity:.24}._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI:disabled,._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI[data-disabled],._3YNtuKT-Is6XUBvdluRTyI[disabled]{cursor:not-allowed;filter:grayscale(1);background:none;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaTextAlpha50);fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-metaTextAlpha50)}._2ZTVnRPqdyKo1dA7Q7i4EL{transition:all .1s linear 0s}.k51Bu_pyEfHQF6AAhaKfS{transition:none}._2qi_L6gKnhyJ0ZxPmwbDFK{transition:all .1s linear 0s;display:block;background-color:var(--newCommunityTheme-field);border-radius:4px;padding:8px;margin-bottom:12px;margin-top:8px;border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-canvas);cursor:pointer}._2qi_L6gKnhyJ0ZxPmwbDFK:focus{outline:none}._2qi_L6gKnhyJ0ZxPmwbDFK:hover{border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}._2qi_L6gKnhyJ0ZxPmwbDFK._3GG6tRGPPJiejLqt2AZfh4{transition:none;border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}.IzSmZckfdQu5YP9qCsdWO{cursor:pointer;transition:all .1s linear 0s}.IzSmZckfdQu5YP9qCsdWO ._1EPynDYoibfs7nDggdH7Gq{border:1px solid transparent;border-radius:4px;transition:all .1s linear 0s}.IzSmZckfdQu5YP9qCsdWO:hover ._1EPynDYoibfs7nDggdH7Gq{border:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-button);padding:4px}._1YvJWALkJ8iKZxUU53TeNO{font-size:12px;font-weight:700;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7{display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 ._3jyKpErOrdUDMh0RFq5V6f{-ms-flex:100%;flex:100%}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 .dqhlvajEe-qyxij0jNsi0{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button)}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 ._12nHw-MGuz_r1dQx5YPM2v,._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 .dqhlvajEe-qyxij0jNsi0{font-size:12px;font-weight:700;line-height:16px;cursor:pointer;-ms-flex-item-align:end;align-self:flex-end;-webkit-user-select:none;-ms-user-select:none;user-select:none}._3adDzm8E3q64yWtEcs5XU7 ._12nHw-MGuz_r1dQx5YPM2v{color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);margin-right:8px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-errorText)}._3zTJ9t4vNwm1NrIaZ35NS6{font-family:Noto Sans,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;font-weight:400;word-wrap:break-word;width:100%;padding:0;border:none;background-color:transparent;resize:none;outline:none;cursor:pointer;color:var(--newRedditTheme-bodyText)}._2JIiUcAdp9rIhjEbIjcuQ-{resize:none;cursor:auto}._2I2LpaEhGCzQ9inJMwliNO,._42Nh7O6pFcqnA6OZd3bOK{display:inline-block;margin-left:4px;vertical-align:middle}._42Nh7O6pFcqnA6OZd3bOK{fill:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);color:var(--newCommunityTheme-button);height:16px;width:16px;margin-bottom:2px} It is the act and language of Him whose confidence was unlimited in the One He was going to. And Lord, we pray that we might walk in the light of Thy truth, the path illumined by Your Holy Spirit. 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. Finding an original Luke might be easier said than done, but how about do a search on Aramaic primacy and then check here? "When they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them. It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea rather than that he should cause one of these little ones to trip up. The fact is notorious, that Jerusalem has been in the hands of many masters who have dealt hardly with the Jews. Also, there was a 1970s song, "I just died in your arms tonight." And let your light so shine before men, that when they see your good works they'll glorify your Father which is in heaven. (compare Leviticus 13:45-46; Numbers 5:2.) It is not, therefore, the old limits of Israel and the lost sheep, but He extends the knowledge of His name and mission outside. He does not look at the devil, or Jews, or Gentiles. 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.

Note, Though the sword devours one as well as another, and all things seem to come alike to all, yet sooner or later it shall be made to appear that the Lord knows them that are his and them that are not, and how to take out the precious from the vile. I love the spunk that Jesus has. 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. "Glory in the highest" is the result, not the introduction; and instead of "peace on earth," (which will, no doubt, be the fruit by and by, as it is according to God's mind, the anticipation from the beginning,) the disciples meanwhile and most appropriately, sing, "Peace in heaven."
