Do you have to forgive him if he doesn't repent? When's the kingdom of God gonna come? Both the deprecation and the acceptance were thoroughly perfect both equally in their due place and season. 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 Matthew and Mark, and even in John, their forsaking of Christ is very conspicuous a little later. And he said unto them, It is enough." Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it would obey you ( Luke 17:6 ).

He was about to drink of a far different cup, which His Father would give Him the anti-type of the passover, and the basis of the Lord's Supper. ( Luke 17:1 ). It was a spot that used to be most precious to Him, and, observe it well, was not less precious to Him after He rose from the dead. It was as if he said, "The whole offer and secret of God are here--and you will not accept them.". It refers to a situation in which a large group of people believe that an even occurred when it actually (i) Luke 17:1-2 condemn the man who teaches others to sin. 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. Luke, I Am Your Father. . The Progress of Christ's Kingdom; Destruction of Jerusalem. It is one of several teachings that Luke recorded that deals with the future (cf. For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" This is not the theme predicted by prophets, but a glory which the person of Jesus alone can account for, and His grace alone introduce to.

So I think it's proper with the disciples just say, "Lord, increase my faith. In fact that's actually the kind of "daily bread" the Lord's Prayer refers to. A scribe probably inserted Luke 17:36 (cf.

"The judgments that are to destroy the Jewish nation, to lay them waste, and to deliver the Christians from them, shall fly like lightning through the land, shall lay all waste from one end of it to another; and those that are marked for this destruction can no more avoid it, nor oppose it, than they can a flash of lightning." First of all, then, we have, for the disciples, God's ways in grace, in the Son of man that first suffers, and finally will appear in power and glory. The other interpretation is that this actually is a reference to the rapture of the church. Even as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man. . http://qbible.com/aramaic-new-testament/luke/17.html, Have you read Ezekiel 23? 28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

There are those who see that as the body of Jesus Christ, wherever the body of Christ is there will the eagles, His victorious saints, be gathered together. They were to be preached to all the nations, beginning with Jerusalem. So, in the next scene at Jerusalem, this finds its full display; for the Lord Jesus comes into their midst, and partakes of food before their eyes. In order to complete that picture, our Lord gave a sight not only of one blessed man who had lived in what is eternal, while experiencing the bitterness of this evil age, but of another who lived only for the present, despising God's message about eternity. That they did not regard the warning given them, and gave no credit, no heed to it. Better for him if that had happened to him than he should offend one of the little ones. The Son of man must suffer many things. "And they worshipped him." or, lo there! 17:1-10 Jesus said to his disciples, "It is impossible that snares to sin should not arise; but woe to him through whom they do arise!

The whole verse is wanting in - ABEGHKLQS, more than fifty others, the Coptic, AEthiopic, Gothic, Slavonic, and many of the fathers: Griesbach has left it out of the text. He must be rejected by this generation of unbelieving Jews, before he be embraced by another generation of believing Gentiles, that his gospel may have the honour of triumphing over the greatest opposition from those who ought to have given it the greatest assistance; and thus the excellency of the power will appear to be of God, and not of man; for, though Israel be not gathered, yet he will be glorious to the ends of the earth.". What a league of peace over the rejection of the Saviour! All fell to murmuring. 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." Thank God for the charge, I hope it's true. How many a man acknowledges justification by faith in a general sense, who, the moment you make it personal, would shrink from taking the place of a justified man, as if this would be too much for God to give him!

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. Further, we know that just as Matthew, for his design, so he displaces facts historically for the purpose of giving a more forcible moral picture of the truth in hand. (Verses Luke 24:9-12.

It is only Luke who gives us this touch. He who humbled Himself as man in suffering is exalted as man to the glory of God on high. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors [or], [rather, lawlessness ]: for the things concerning me have an end. 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.
