Luke Chapter 19 Discussion Page 2

Who knows parables? He spoke thus that only the elect understand. The nobleman is Jesus, Moses, the Prophets, ect whom God has sent. The nobleman has received his kingdom and returns to impart. The ten servants are the tribes of Israel who migrated to the four corners. Those who hate the nobleman are slayed and denied eternity. There are profitable servants and unprofitable . his reward is..

"And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house." The Lord Jesus knows who His friends are no matter what others think of us, and speak evil behind His back. What is it our business to judge another man's servant? We all must come to Jesus to be saved, and will each of us be judged by Jesus.

So AMAZING. Wonderful story

We have a Great Father in Heaven... He loves all of humanity and want us to be saved from our sins and to ask His SON Jesus Christ to forgive us and to come in our hearts and saved us.. We serve an Awesome God.. It is a shame that we are so ignorant when it comes TO THE THINGS OF GOD....I MEAN THE REAL GOD....Germaine

The "Glad Tidings Age" is probably referring to the period from the Lord's first coming in the flesh, in which He gave up Himself for us on the cross, and then rose from the dead; to the end of the age at His second coming in power and great glory. We are commissioned by Him to be His witnesses and ambassadors of the Good News of our salvation; we are not to be entangled in the things of this life

Answering the reference to the comment titled "DENNIS FOR VERSE 11".
By which gospel are you talking about when you say 'Gospel age' ? We are in the age of grace. Something to chew on: Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel...let him be accursed. Rev 14:6 And I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel..."

Jesus himself is the word of God. He who loves him should keep his commandments. Our faith comes only by hearing the word of God without his words it's impossible to please him. Church is a groom of the bride which is in heaven. If Jesus found us in the church praising, thanking him we will surely receive his blessing. Church is the house of prayer. On Jesus is the great Jehova Jireh the provider amen

The biblical reference to a thousand years in Rev 20 is NOT teaching a literal thousand year period that is to take place here on this earth. The whole book of Revelation is referring to the day in which we all live, the entire Gospel Age, however long that may be. What John wrote about, using symbolical language to describe the things which Christ shows him, is what is transpiring all around us. This understanding of the book is called Amillennialism, or a Realized Millennium. Not two comings, nor two judgments, nor a 1,000 yr reign followed by eternity. Rather Christ comes and raises the dead at the "last day." The righteous go into eternal life. The wicked are cast into outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I lost my home,wife and lots of money that Satan stole and I'm believing the Lord to restore what I have lost. Amen Praise God

Luke 19:10 is my testimony.While growing up my mother work two jobs and was never able to attend church with us. Yet we were sent to church every Sunday. As an adult Jesus Christ found me and me and on October 06. 1986 I was baptize!!! Glory to GOD!!!

THE WILL OF GOD MEANS THE WORD OF GOD! THIS INCLUDES HIS PROMISES AS WELL. YOU HAVE TO WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVE WITHOUT DOUBTING GOD'S WORD. GOD WILL DO AS HE SAYS BUT IN GOD'S TIME

Bozki 's Luke Chapter 19..I believe the bible is our instructions on life.. HOW GOD WANTS US TO LIVE! I believe God wants us to live in earth as we will in heaven! After all Jesu did tell us to pray The Lords prayer . We are promising God that we will live his will in earth as in heaven. Amen! Live by Gods law, man made laws are what 's destroying the world. Just because things are legal dont mean you have to do them.

On verse 13, Parable of the Talent, Occupy till I come, Same as in the beginning in Genesis 1:26, Let them have Dominion over the Earth, this is the Kingdom of God. The purpose of God in creating us is to DOMINATE the earth, to rule the earth, just like GOD rule the Heaven, when the time that He will come to earth he will find that earth is like Heaven......Guys, Do the things that God wants you to do. Read the word of God,....God Bless

I think God is good. I thank him for his grace and mercy. Amen

Verse 11 through 27 in my opinion Jesus is painting a picture of his riseing from the dead as going to heaven and leaving us hear with the Holy Spirit to do his work which I believe he blesses us for . his power will save that wich was lost , it is good to get invualved in a church or minestry to do something for him who saved us I believe he blesses and helps us in that work and he will increase his kingdom through his power and mercy and in the end will reward us with a home in heaven he that has it will be added to him and to him that rejected Jesus to him that hes not even what he has worldly possessions it will be taken away mercy forgiveness grace. This is his power and the good news

God is a hard man to work for, he expects perfection and a clean heart.

I am very glad that Jesus sought me out !!!! Because someone cared enough to pray for me : Gave me the opportunity to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior ! I ought to do the same and also to be bold in speaking of my Lord and Savior when prompted by Holy Spirit !!!

What this verse is saying is that God has three classes of talents for mankind namely high five , middle three and low one . The high and the middle class can easily do well when they stand on their own while the low class can only succeed when they pair up with other established classes where their rewards are lower than their efforts.That is why the word usury were used not that Jesus is trying to contradict himself. Examples are employers and the employees, Masters the servants,pastors and the congregations etc.There are talents that can be unfruitful if not in conjunction with others. And if a person in this low grade category understands and subject himself to complete usury, he would also be ushered where the high and the middle classes are.What this means is that on the judgement day, a faithful general overseer could be rewarded equally with a faithful usher of his ministry.

In a nutshell, millennial security is the belief that God s children are all guaranteed a millennial existence on par with heavenly existence, including heavenly bliss, with the only differences being place and time. Unfortunately, that is not biblical. Ironically, how you live your life of seventy years give or take on earth here and now will determine how you live your thousand year existence in the millennial world. The consequences are sobering either reward and ruling or suffering loss and regretting. The former truly inherits the millennium the latter merely exists in that world, and the existence will not be joyous. This truth is clearly illustrated in the parable of the pounds, Luke 19 11 27. Cr. James Hollandsworth KingdomPreparation Millennial Security

There is truly nothing new under the sun. They made God 's house a cave of robbers then, and the same thing today. Who knew that worshiping God could be so expensive today!?!?! AS I recall, Jesus did not charge for his services, and he did way more than any preacher today can do!

In verse 27, Jesus is saying that he wants his enemies brought before him and slain because they won 't let him reign over them!! That doesn 't sound reasonable to me. Perhaps these enemies were just sceptics who weren 't convinced that Jesus was who he said he was. In chapter 28 verse 17, it does say that some doubted him and those were people who were actually there at the time. I wonder whether this is why Christianity started off as a very small sect within Judaism but most Jews did not become Christians because they didn 't think that Jesus was the messiah.

This verse of the Bible teaches us the expectations of God towards our living as saved saints by the shed Blood of Jesus for Redemption and Salvation wherein the course of the saving Grace is judiciously expended by the saved to bring more into the fold at His coming.

Spend time discipling the lost, and less time nurturing the saved who "come " to Church " but rarely "go " to lost friends. The Great Commission says "go ". Let 's live a balanced life and model both in our lifestyle.

Please explain verse 42 as I do not understand it. Thanks

Each person has his day of visitation. Failing to recognize it leads to some serious consequences which otherwise would have been avoided if we are sensitive to the prompting of His Holy Spirit.

first time on this site. would like it if Matthew Henrys Commentary would be available just like the other versions of the Bible are. Thanks

These are my understanding regarding the parables written in Luke 19:12-27: Our Lord Jesus Christ received for himself a kingdom and that was to reign over the seeds of Abraham (for parable in Luke 19:12). Since He must leave for the meantime to attend to His kingdom, He gave instruction to His servants to take charge in His church until He come back (for parable in Luke 19:13). But there were seeds of Abraham in His own Kingdom who did not want Him to reign over them (for parable in Luke 19:14). It came to pass, when He came back from His kingdom to His church, He asked His servants about the number of souls they earned for His church, and after knowing it, He gave them authority over the cities in His kingdom, according to the number of souls they earned for His church (for parable in Luke 19:15-19). But to the one who got nothing for His church, He took out from him even his own soul's salvation (for parable in Luke 19:20-26). For those who were in His own kingdom, whom He called His enemies, because they did not want Him to reign over them, He gave instruction to His servants to slay them in front of Him (for parable in Luke 19:27).

Usury is biblically wrong.But what will we say about the bank's?

The parable of the Ten Pounds puts the fear of God in me and I am thankful for all the good and wise commentary from other Believers. I read it at bedtime last night and awoke still thinking about what it meant. The Kingdom preached by Jesus (yehshua)is what true Believers are all living by faith and obedience to see revealed completely when He returns.
