Besides, there is the final publicly adjudicated portion of misery for body and soul before the great white throne. Only there is a difficulty here to some that Luke appears to contradict what we have in the other accounts of this part of Christ's progress. It was not the Lord's Supper; but Jesus made use of that act of breaking the bread significantly, which the Lord's Supper brings before us continually. Who could longer doubt that it was really the same Jesus who died, and will yet come in glory? Now this last portion is difficult of interpretation. Thus there is no exaggerated description. First of all appears a hatred of sin in the fear of God; then the repentant heart rebukes the shameless evil of his fellow, who feels that it is, least of all, a time thus to sin boldly in the presence of death, and of God's judgment. Then Jesus will take the godly into heaven and will leave the unbelievers on earth to enter the Tribulation. And they said, Nothing. In the gospel of Matthew, we find that Jesus was also discussing His second coming just before Matthew 24:40. The Christian standard takes the Rabbinic standard, doubles it and adds one; but it is not a matter of calculation. (Luke 22:19-20.) Remaining in Jerusalem they should be clothed with power an essential thing for Christianity, and quite distinct from spiritual intelligence already conferred, as is apparent also in Peter's word and way in Acts 1:1-26. "This man hath done nothing amiss." "And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. Luke 17:34 (NKJV). He that blesses us not only communicates a blessing, but gives the power that returns to God a blessing the power of real worship communicated to human hearts on the earth, by the Lord Jesus now risen from the dead. "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is shed for you.". [2.] (Compare Psalms 16:1-11; Psalms 31:1-24) It was the atoning One. The scene is complete. (ii) The coming of Christ is certain, but its time is quite unknown. Weren't there ten that were cleansed? Here we have nothing about Galilee. He so counted on His grace, that no doubt or question remained, and he asks to be remembered by Jesus at His advent, ascribing the kingdom to Him who was hanging on the cross. Pain, and shame, and death, are those many things. Man was not good God only. Luke 17:35 (NASB). Accordingly our Saviour, at the mount of Olives, (ver. 3. (Verses Luke 18:18-25.). One will be taken and the other will be left. In modern days they manage things both more prudently and more effectually. Web( Luke 17:1 ) You can't live your life unscathed. And although not a few, who then seemed strong and courageous enough, are gone to the winds (and a similar sifting still goes on, and will to the end), yet sure am I that in the midst of all these troubles and humiliations God has been elevating the standard of Christ for those who are firm and faithful. To serve was the Lord's place: may we prize it! Now, had the story of the blind man healed at Jericho been left for its historical place, it would have cut the thread of these two circumstances. 24 For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. 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. 106. Still farther to show its character, and His unimpeachable relation to God, as well as how really He was a suffering man, "there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. I take for granted now that there is a firm hold of His bearing God's wrath on the cross. 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." It gets its name from an incident in 2010, when many people on the internet said they clearly Father, we thank You for Your Word, a lamp unto our feet, a light into our path to guide us as we walk with Thee. This truth is not confined to the present portion of our Gospel. But even so, the Lord Himself would not terminate the Gospel thus. We walk by faith, not by sight. 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. We have the priests with their question of authority (ver. What a league of peace over the rejection of the Saviour! What does the verse mean? The Lord admits that there is no abandonment of faith but what will meet with a most adequate remembrance from the Lord another day. Luke 17:34 (NIV). "It has a spiritual influence: The kingdom of God is within you." Nothing could better show the utter isolation in which lepers lived. It is the word of God which is the truest, deepest, weightiest testimony, even though the risen Jesus Himself were there, and its living, demonstration in person. It was a crucified robber! And we think of it in quantity or in size. "And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, [what a rebuke to their unbelief!] My attitude after I come in from serving the Lord, and the Lord gives me another task to do, and I'm so tired I feel oh I can't move. Alstorph. This is the main subject with which the parable opens. Luke 24:5-8; Luke 24:5-8.) Two shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, the other left. Next, He introduces the last days. Surely also we ought to feel it, instead of merely treating it as a thing, that must be, and which Scripture prepares us for, or which God's goodness turns to gracious ends. And he fell down on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan ( Luke 17:15-16 ). ), Then, as He entered Jericho, Zaccheus, the chief of the tax-gatherers, was mightily stirred with the desire to see this wondrous man, the Son of man. The other interpretation is that this actually is a reference to the rapture of the church. (Ver. I'm stunned!!! Jesus said, "Were the ten not cleansed? The Mandela Effect is a term coined by Fiona Broome in 2009. Look as far back as the old world, when all flesh had corrupted their way, and the earth was filled with violence. What was the result? Two shall be in the field; one shall be taken, the other left. Next, we have the entrance into Jerusalem. Other evangelists, as well as Luke, mention that, when He was in the midst of His miracles and teaching, they were full of their unseemly rivalry; Luke mentions it where it was beyond comparison most painful and humiliating in presence of the communion of His body and His blood, and when they had just heard of the presence of the traitor in their midst, who was offering to sell their Master for thirty pieces of silver! h Vid. is not he that sitteth at meat? . Taken up to escape the Great Tribulation period. For example, it is important to notice that in Luke 17:22 we are told that Jesus referred to the days of the Son of Man, and He did it again in Luke 17:30. But I go to the hospital, I make the call, I pray for them and encourage them. And it's no help to tell a person, "Well, if you just had enough faith you wouldn't be in this condition, brother." They were blind. He feels all man did and said, and owns His Father. As for the world, careless indifference and enjoyment of present things will characterise the future as the past; but they will be surprised by the Lord in the midst of heedless folly. Who, of course, in turning back turned to a pillar of salt. If the original had said "bottles" who in their right mind would deliberately pull "wineskins" out of their hat to ostensibly update and make that more intelligible in an era when bottles had long since replaced all of the old fashioned wineskins? A Definitive Study of the Rapture of the Church, pp. It was an early error to suppose an impassible Christ. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). Go not after them, nor follow them; do not heed such suggestions. There was not a word of all this when He spoke of the siege and capture of the city under Titus. May we prove that it is indeed like Christ, of whom it speaks, needed, real, and unerring light to our souls; that it is also the sole, adequate, and irrefragable witness of divine wisdom and grace, but this only as revealed in and by Christ! (i) Luke 17:1-2 condemn the man who teaches others to sin. There is another word for the vultures that feed upon the flesh of men at the great battle of Armageddon. They thought of having the kingdom of the Messiah set up in external splendour: "No," saith Christ, "we must go by the cross to the crown. And I think that was from the 1800s, not the 1600s. It is evident, whether you go into a place or whether you come out of it, you are equally nigh on one side of the town or on the other. Always been this way for me. Now observe concerning both these, [1.] It was not the Lord's Supper, but the paschal cup. 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. Perhaps Jesus intended the fact that one separation takes place at night and the other during daytime to reinforce the fact that He could return at either time. And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And so with this soul whom grace had now touched. It is the old way that wicked men have trodden, that have gone slumbering to hell, as if their damnation slumbered while they did. Were they not still cleaving to their own cherished expectations of Messiah, and an earthly kingdom? When Jesus referred to the days of the Son of Man, He was speaking about His second coming, that is, the second coming of Christ. You left out all the positive stuff. Not necessarily two separate people as we've always believed? Oh, let me ask you a question. "Lord, remember me when thou comest in thy kingdom." But with Jesus, there the kingdom of God was among them. The weeping in John is in the presence of death, which had touched Lazarus. And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body. Also, there was a 1970s song, "I just died in your arms tonight." ), Luke 17:35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. On the person and position of Christ depends the whole of Christianity. Often one will be taken and another left. That one tree notoriously applies to the Jews as a nation; the other figure ("all the trees") adds the rest, so as to be universal. I hope that I'll always preach a simplistic gospel. We see the people beholding, the rulers also with them sneering, the soldiers mocking with vulgar brutality, but Jesus dealing in ineffable grace with a justly crucified malefactor. And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven." Therefore, the convicted publican is found outside, beating his breast, and standing at a distance, not so much as looking up. He was never in a pattern. ._3bX7W3J0lU78fp7cayvNxx{max-width:208px;text-align:center} Then he turns to Jesus, and says, "Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it also be in the days of the Son of man. This was for other hands. Luke 22:39-46; Luke 22:39-46) shows how true what I have just asserted is; for there it is that He is found first of all telling them to pray, lest they should enter into temptation. Further, He opens their understanding to understand the Scriptures, and gives them their great commission, but bids them remain in Jerusalem till endued with power from on high, when He sends them the promise of the Father. So that was the first step back to restoration, go show yourself to the priest.So by faith, as they started towards the priest. You can't live your life without having stumbling stones placed in your path, but woe to the person who put the stumbling stone Out of this difficult passage we can pick only the things which are certain--and in truth they are enough. He never cast out either a soul that came to Him, or a prayer that was founded on His glory, and desired association with Him. We see how truly miraculous this power was apart from any exertion of it on their own behalf. LAWS OF THE CHRISTIAN LIFE ( Luke 17:1-10 ). But he does not see man merely. Not so. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 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. In truth, man was lost; but the Son of man was there to bear his burden. Had he really known how good God is he would have soon seen God in Jesus. So often, once a man has got what he wants, he never comes back. As in the days of Noah and of Lot, people will be carrying out their everyday duties when the divine judgment will suddenly fall (Luke 17:26-30). It is intelligible that those who know should judge; not so, as it appears to me, that people should take the place of judging who confessedly do not know. . Even if he sins against you seven times in the day, and if seven times he turns to you, saying, 'I repent,' you must forgive him.". He that filled with blessing the hearts devoted to Him in His life, was still blessing them when He was separated from them for heaven. When Christ comes to destroy the Jewish nation, by the Roman armies, the generality of that nation will be found under such a reigning security and stupidity as this. They traversed the length and breadth of the land, everywhere bearing their plain, solemn testimony, ever guarded by God's power: just like their Master Himself. You know, the Bible starts out with 2 naked people Nasb says there will be two in a bed, doesn't specify sex. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation." Hotels used to have rules like : no more than 5 men in one bed. It's really, "the kingdom of God is among you." Here it is prayer out of the midst of circumstances of desolation and deep trial prayer with evil near at hand, as well as divine judgment. Or mulberry tree, whatever it might have been. After the Gentile domination is over (which clearly it is not yet), there shall be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and distress of nations; men's hearts failing them forfear; for the powers of heaven shall be shaken and then shall they see not when the Romans of old took the city but, in the future crisis, when these astonishing tokens, heavenly and earthly, are given by God then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. One would have thought that this discourse of our Saviour's, which was public, and not long after published to the world, should have awakened them; but it did not, for the hearts of that people were hardened, to their destruction. Surely, Lord, You ought to bless me now. "Behold the fig-tree and all the trees." I didn't know mustard seeds had faith. The unfaithful servant is not called an enemy, though, no doubt, he was no friend of the Son, and dealt with righteously. This is like claiming that any instance of "work" in the bible implies a drag queen strutting her stuff and owning the stage. cleansed by water and blood. But if God invites a believer now to draw near into the holiest of all, is it not equal presumption for that soul to quarrel with the grace of God displayed in Christ's work of redemption, and to raise questions about its effects for itself? No one makes it so stupid that we can't learn, but yet, as a position of a servant I shouldn't really be looking for these little perks. But the main idea is their close association. No, it's gonna be like lightening, everybody is gonna see it when it happens.But before He comes in this glory. I strongly doubt that the verb grinding had any sexual overtones at the time that it was being translated. This employment of the Scriptures by our Lord is very significant. After this we hear the murmuring Pharisees rebuked, who would have had the disciples rebuked for their song: if they had not sung it, the stones must have cried out; and the Lord vindicates the blameless (Ver. The kingdom of God is in the life of every man who has submitted to the King, or to God as King. ._1QwShihKKlyRXyQSlqYaWW{height:16px;width:16px;vertical-align:bottom}._2X6EB3ZhEeXCh1eIVA64XM{margin-left:3px}._1jNPl3YUk6zbpLWdjaJT1r{font-size:12px;font-weight:500;line-height:16px;border-radius:2px;display:inline-block;margin-right:5px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;vertical-align:text-bottom;white-space:pre;word-break:normal;padding:0 4px}._1jNPl3YUk6zbpLWdjaJT1r._39BEcWjOlYi1QGcJil6-yl{padding:0}._2hSecp_zkPm_s5ddV2htoj{font-size:12px;font-weight:500;line-height:16px;border-radius:2px;display:inline-block;margin-right:5px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;vertical-align:text-bottom;white-space:pre;word-break:normal;margin-left:0;padding:0 4px}._2hSecp_zkPm_s5ddV2htoj._39BEcWjOlYi1QGcJil6-yl{padding:0}._1wzhGvvafQFOWAyA157okr{font-size:12px;font-weight:500;line-height:16px;border-radius:2px;margin-right:5px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;vertical-align:text-bottom;white-space:pre;word-break:normal;box-sizing:border-box;line-height:14px;padding:0 4px}._3BPVpMSn5b1vb1yTQuqCRH,._1wzhGvvafQFOWAyA157okr{display:inline-block;height:16px}._3BPVpMSn5b1vb1yTQuqCRH{background-color:var(--newRedditTheme-body);border-radius:50%;margin-left:5px;text-align:center;width:16px}._2cvySYWkqJfynvXFOpNc5L{height:10px;width:10px}.aJrgrewN9C8x1Fusdx4hh{padding:2px 8px}._1wj6zoMi6hRP5YhJ8nXWXE{font-size:14px;padding:7px 12px}._2VqfzH0dZ9dIl3XWNxs42y{border-radius:20px}._2VqfzH0dZ9dIl3XWNxs42y:hover{opacity:.85}._2VqfzH0dZ9dIl3XWNxs42y:active{transform:scale(.95)} What I really find most worrisome about all this is that if an irreplaceable reference work and resource like the Bible can be rendered unreliable, untrustworthy, and impotent for the average person, then so too can any and all others they now have free and open access to. "Art thou the Christ?" You're not gonna see an outward display of the kingdom at this time. If you recall these verses being different that's cool. But, inLuke 16:1-31; Luke 16:1-31, blessedness and misery at once are felt by the soul in the dissolution of the link with the body. Speculation is vain. said the Saviour; "but where are the nine? So He closes this matter. God must be God in His recognition of faith, as everywhere else. This most fitly has its place in Matthew, spite (yea, because of) His rejection. Two men in shining array stood by these perplexed saints. Seems unfair to focus on just one. It is a very serious thing to tamper with someone's faith in Jesus Christ. Next, while there is a strong exhortation against stumbling others, there is an equally urgent call to forgive others. This may be the way of men, to avoid what they can, and think as little as possible of what is painful and disagreeable. Now does he thank that servant because he did those things which were commanded him? For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. It seeks what belongs not to nature, but to God. Though Scripture was perfectly expounded by Jesus, and though hearts burned as they heard of these wondrous things, still it must be shown in concentrated form that the knowledge which alone can be commended by God or trusted by man is this Jesus known in that which brings His death before the soul. Do not depart, and do not follow them. They started with similar advantages. In Luke all disappears, except grace, in presence of sin and misery. Just keep the record clear. The New International Version (NIV) has avoided the word men and so translates the passage with people. Here is the verse, I tell you, on that night two people will be in one bed; one will be taken and the other left. To this the Lord appends a peculiar, but not less solemn though brief word: "Remember Lot's wife! He wanted us to just be free to the working of God in different ways. Have you ever been in the position of trying to generate faith? It was affection, but with little intelligence. You're as bad as those guys who came to comfort Job. .LalRrQILNjt65y-p-QlWH{fill:var(--newRedditTheme-actionIcon);height:18px;width:18px}.LalRrQILNjt65y-p-QlWH rect{stroke:var(--newRedditTheme-metaText)}._3J2-xIxxxP9ISzeLWCOUVc{height:18px}.FyLpt0kIWG1bTDWZ8HIL1{margin-top:4px}._2ntJEAiwKXBGvxrJiqxx_2,._1SqBC7PQ5dMOdF0MhPIkA8{vertical-align:middle}._1SqBC7PQ5dMOdF0MhPIkA8{-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;display:-ms-inline-flexbox;display:inline-flex;-ms-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;-ms-flex-pack:center;justify-content:center} And that's what the word offense here; it's a stone of stumbling, a scandalon. He took bread with thanksgiving, brake it, and gave to them, saving, "This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Yes! Luke 22:23; Luke 22:23.) Luke 20:1-8), then the people hearing the history of God's dealings with them, and their moral condition fully brought out. And they lifted up their voices ( Luke 17:13 ). 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. In another case a leper came and said, "Lord, if You will, You can make me clean." And Jesus touched him and said, "I will. When they have made their escape, they must not think of returning (Luke 17:32; Luke 17:32): "Remember Lot's wife; and take warning by her not only to flee from this Sodom (for so Jerusalem is become, Isaiah 1:10), but to persevere in your flight, and do not look back, as she did; be not loth to leave a place marked for destruction, whomsoever or whatsoever you leave behind you, that is ever so dear to you." Now Christ is where his gospel, and his ordinances, and his church are: For where two or three are gathered in his name there is he in the midst of them, and thither therefore others will be gathered to him. He was what men call a just and good man, yet a chief tax-gatherer and a wealthy one, though they be hard things to put together. Harrison, however, cautioned that "TAKEN is often applied to saints, but it may refer to the gatherings of offenders to judgment (Matthew 13:42). So unless this changed in the 1980's, it's been the same-- for me anyway. Because I don't pat people on the back. 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. Few of us have not at some time owed a great deal to some fellow-man. "Zaccheus, make haste, and come down; for to-day I must abide at thy house. But in this Gospel the last words are of One who, whatever the forsaking of God for sin, was perfectly tranquil, and peacefully committed Himself to His Father. "You enquire when it will come, and are not aware that it is already begun to be set up in the midst of you. The sense of His rejection and His approaching death not only pressed on the Saviour's spirit, but more or less also affects the disciples, who were under the pressure especially of what was done by men. The one shall be taken; by the Roman soldiers: and the other shall be left; being, by one providence or another preserved; which is mentioned, to show the distinction God will make in his providence, and to encourage believers to trust in it. But, at the same time (verses Luke 18:31-34), He takes unto Him the twelve and says, "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished." I haven't yet because at this moment, I don't believe you. The chapter closes with Jesus before the council of elders, chief priests, and scribes. They part His raiment, and cast lots for it. The point there is just the same immediate blessedness, and not merely when the body is raised from the dead by and by. (VersesLuke 24:36-43; Luke 24:36-43.). We saw on the mount of transfiguration that there is a blessedness beyond that of the kingdom, where government is not in question. As the dissolution of the Jewish church shall be extended to all parts, so shall the constitution of the Christian church. How mighty, and wise, and good the ways of grace! There was no specified distance at which they should stand, but we know that at least one authority laid it down that, when he was to windward of a healthy person, the leper should stand at least fifty yards away. After this our Lord speaks once more of what was written in Moses and prophets and psalms concerning Him. It doesn't say anything about Jesus touching them. "No," saith Christ, (1.) Luke 17:30-33(NASB). Note, We must not think that Christ's church and cause are lost because not always alike visible and prevailing. Gods great intervention in human affairs will affect people worldwide. What had He not given up, and for whom? 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. Two great truths are here present living unto God after death, and future resurrection, when Jesus comes and brings in the new age. (Ver. It was the last act of communion of Christ with them. ._9ZuQyDXhFth1qKJF4KNm8{padding:12px 12px 40px}._2iNJX36LR2tMHx_unzEkVM,._1JmnMJclrTwTPpAip5U_Hm{font-size:16px;font-weight:500;line-height:20px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText);margin-bottom:40px;padding-top:4px;text-align:left;margin-right:28px}._2iNJX36LR2tMHx_unzEkVM{-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex}._2iNJX36LR2tMHx_unzEkVM ._24r4TaTKqNLBGA3VgswFrN{margin-left:6px}._306gA2lxjCHX44ssikUp3O{margin-bottom:32px}._1Omf6afKRpv3RKNCWjIyJ4{font-size:18px;font-weight:500;line-height:22px;border-bottom:2px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-line);color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText);margin-bottom:8px;padding-bottom:8px}._2Ss7VGMX-UPKt9NhFRtgTz{margin-bottom:24px}._3vWu4F9B4X4Yc-Gm86-FMP{border-bottom:1px solid var(--newCommunityTheme-line);margin-bottom:8px;padding-bottom:2px}._3vWu4F9B4X4Yc-Gm86-FMP:last-of-type{border-bottom-width:0}._2qAEe8HGjtHsuKsHqNCa9u{font-size:14px;font-weight:500;line-height:18px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-bodyText);padding-bottom:8px;padding-top:8px}.c5RWd-O3CYE-XSLdTyjtI{padding:8px 0}._3whORKuQps-WQpSceAyHuF{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon);margin-bottom:8px}._1Qk-ka6_CJz1fU3OUfeznu{margin-bottom:8px}._3ds8Wk2l32hr3hLddQshhG{font-weight:500}._1h0r6vtgOzgWtu-GNBO6Yb,._3ds8Wk2l32hr3hLddQshhG{font-size:12px;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon)}._1h0r6vtgOzgWtu-GNBO6Yb{font-weight:400}.horIoLCod23xkzt7MmTpC{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;color:#ea0027}._33Iw1wpNZ-uhC05tWsB9xi{margin-top:24px}._2M7LQbQxH40ingJ9h9RslL{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;line-height:16px;color:var(--newCommunityTheme-actionIcon);margin-bottom:8px} And even if he trespasses against you seven times in the same day, and seven times in the same day he turns to you again, and says, I repent; thou shalt forgive him ( Luke 17:4 ). This was not the effect of an earthquake, nor of other physical causes. If poor dying man felt it somewhat, the Lord made flesh, the God-man, entered into it in spirit the more because He was God, though man. After all, you might be startled when you find that the real quote is No, I am your dad.. But, as usual, with men without the revealed light of God, though conscious when sin is done that there is something utterly wrong it is soon forgotten; so here, though not without the sense that the case was desperate, they go not only as sheep without a shepherd, but stumble in the dark night. The Lord's relation to the kingdom at the second advent is contrasted with the grace that flows out in the former part of the chapter. Now a lot of times we are made to feel very guilty"Well, brother, if you just had enough faith. 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! (b) It then came to mean any stumbling-block placed in a man's way to trip him up. The truth is, that Luke merely states the fact of vicinity here. May the Lord be pleased to bless His own word, and to grant that those who love Him and it may approach the scripture with still more confidence! I. 26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man. But where the heart knows the work done for the soul, there is a work done in that very soul. Remember Lot's wife! He would have said, "Lord, do not remember my sins." The lepers came to Jesus with desperate longing; he cured them; and nine never came back to give thanks. http://qbible.com/aramaic-new-testament/luke/17.html, Have you read Ezekiel 23? And he said unto his disciples, The days will come, when you shall desire to see one of the days the Son of man, and you will not see it. All then becomes right: he is brought into the light of God; he sees light in God's light.
