Luke Chapter 18 Discussion Page 3

To Daniel - you did know the 'eye of a needle' was the small gate/door off to the side of the large one? the 'needle' was for people on foot, while the large one was for commercial vehicles, camels, etc.

The possibility of a rich man entering heaven is likened to a camel entering a needle. As we pursue our earthly treasures, let us keep in mind the fact that the kingdom of Christ should be above everything.

remaining persistence no matter how many people are trying to let you down,just stand firm and tell God that 'i want to receive my sight in your Glory,and your faith shall heal you.

God will shake the heart of even the unjust,and make them do right by his child, or children,
we only have to trust him.

"All things where created by Him and for His pleasure they are and were created"

Who can make a green leaf grow in Sand.... ...Not Man..... ...Only GOD Can!

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD THERE IS NOTHING THAT ISN'T NOTHING HE IS THE ALMIGHTY THE KING OF ALL KINGS NO OTHER WILL PROVAIL.

Always put the lord in front of everything you do everyday

JEHOVAH God is all powerful, all knowing with no limits like me so all things are possible. IM SO GREATFUL. HAPPY NEW YEAR

Amen and God will do it!

I love this chapter. But, if people could see Luke 18:43. I feel there would be more believers. The men ask Jesus for his sight, and Jesus gave it to him on the spot. But, Jesus also said his faith saved him.

Luke 18:8 "I tell you that he will avenge speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
(Interesting question to ponder, God knows who the hypocrites are, he even questions will there be any faith at all on the earth. Scary!)

I love this verse about rich man sake and the faith for the blind man so by that jesus wants to tell us about submision to god in everything we do if we want to heritant the kingdom because this world will pass away but god's word will stand forever for people who obeit and do better god's will by faith.

Nothing is difficult for God to do

Readings

please give detail explanation about Luk chapter 18 verse 18 to 23 profile rich man

I like where it talks about a rich man getting to heaven I think that is true today because more people think more about money and material things than they do anything else.

no doubt about this promise but because of ones problems for a stagnating period of time makes ones thoughts erase this promise and one may feem there is no Gid and there would be no justice too.

there is no place where Jesus Baptised efants

Its encouraged us no matter people can say about us to stop us to follow Jesus becourse of the situation we are in we should not ear to them we we continue like what a blind man did many people can have advantage over our situation but we have the courage to move forward

IN A WORLD THAT MEN HAVE MADE FUN OF GOD IT 'S DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE. BUT THOSE WHO DARE TO PUT THEIR TRUST WILL REAP GREAT BLESSINGS. I DO NOT MEAN 'SELFISH BLESSINGS ' BUT BLESSINGS TO BLESS OTHERS. THAT IS WHY WE ARE HERE. WE ARE CHANNELS OF GOD 'S BLESSINGS TO THIS WORLD. THE MORE WE DARE THE MORE WE CAN CHANGE SITUATIONS FOR HIS GLORY!!

This man came to listen to God. He said I am a sinner. Please be merciful to me, and I 'll listen and do what you say.

Verse 1 to 8 the Lord explicitly revealed to believers the essence and efficacy of persistency in faith prayer while verse 35 to 43 goes to teach us who are todays believers or readers who have or is hearing about Jesus the need to hold him and benefit from Him. For like the blind man because of his blindness wasn 't able to see Jesus physically we the bible readers of our time were not opportuned to see him physically but can through faith in his name what we have heard about him pray in faith persisting no matter what is the problem facing us and will be delivered, for if this blind man who was blind from birth and having not seen any medicine or science restore sight to any blind person but still had faith in Jesus repeatedly shouting for Jesus mercy despite peoples rebuke and until he attracted Jesus attention to himself and when the Lord asked him what he needs he asked for what is mathematically scientifically impossible with man and got it all men can have whatever we can in faith and persistently ask from Him

Patience is key to receiving help from Jehovah though he makes us wait long we must never give up on believing he will help us

On verse 22, Jesus test the rich man where his heart focus is,, in following Jesus or in his Possession. God wants us to succeed, to have more abundant life. but God wants us not to depend on our Possession but always depend on Him. and let our Possession serve to others...God Bless...

Never be detached from Jesus the main source of life.

WHAT I THINK FOR LUKE 18 IS, WE MUST TRY TO GIVE EVERY ONE CHANCE TO MEET JESUS CHRIST

The same way Yeshua could forgive sin even though the Rabbis said only God could forgive sin. Yeshua is entrapping them in their own attempted trap.

Jesus is the word of God, He who loves him will keep his words and commandments till rapture. Jesus is the only Healer, Provider, Righteous, Merciful, Powerful God and the only Jehovah. Blessed are those who have heard his voice as they shall see the Glory of God and will be saved. All words that Jesus spake comes from the Father who has sent him for us. Jesus loves you

Jesus affirms himself as God in John 10:14 I am the Good Shepherd. Psalms 23 and Ezekiel 24, God himself is the Shepherd, thus Jesus takes upon himself another title of God. One thing interesting about this verse is the fact that the rich ruler calls Jesus "Good teacher, " I don 't think this is one of God 's titles. One also has to understand that a rabbi at the time often ask questions to see if a follower was qualified to be a disciple. The rabbi would determine the followers knowledge by his answer.
