路加福音 1:78 CUVS

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 1:78

In the Greek it is, through the bowels of mercy. An ordinary expression, and very natural, to signify great and deep compassion, Genesis 43:30; 1 Kings 3:26. Our remission of sin floweth from God’s bowels of mercy; it depends not upon our satisfactions and penances, (as papists dream), but God’s free and tender love; yet God must be just, and declare his righteousness while he justifieth the ungodly. Whereby the Dayspring from on high hath visited us, ανατολη εξ υψους. Some think that the Greek... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 1:57-80

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 1:58. Cousins.—Rather, “kinsfolk,” which was the original meaning of “cousins.” How the Lord.—Rather, “that the Lord” (R.V.).Luke 1:59. On the eighth day.—The stated time for administering the rite of circumcision (Genesis 21:4; Luke 2:21; Philippians 3:5). The custom from the first was to give the name to the child at the time of circumcision (cf. Genesis 21:3-4); perhaps it originated in the change of names from Abram to Abraham, and from Sarai to Sarah, at the institution... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 1:78

Luke 1:78 There are four things which always attend the dayspring's visit, or the coming of the morning; and when Jesus came into our world He brought these four things; and when He comes into our souls He brings them there too. I. The first thing that the visit of the dayspring brings with it is Light. In the very next verse Zacharias goes on to show that this would be the effect of Christ's coming into the world. The object of that coming will be to give light to them that sit in darkness and... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 1:78-79

Luke 1:78-79 Christ, the Ideal Man. Man needs a perfect ideal, an ideal that shall permanently defy criticism, a sample of what human goodness is in its truth and its completeness. We are sure we men that there is such a thing as this. How else, we ask, should there be so universal an aspiration towards that which would, upon this hypothesis, have no existence in fact? It is our Lord, and our Lord alone, who satisfies this human want of an ideal of goodness. He shows us what human goodness was... read more

DISCOURSE: 1470THE CAUSES OF OUR SAVIOUR’S INCARNATIONLuke 1:78-79. Through the tender mercy of our God, the day-spring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.OUR Saviour’s birth, though in many respects peculiarly low and abject, was attended with some circumstances not unworthy the occasion. We might mention his miraculous conception, the acclamations of angels, &c. &c.; but we shall... read more

The Tender Mercy of Our God June 27th, 1886 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death to guide our feet into the way of peace." Luke 1:77-79 . Observe how Zacharias, in this his joyful song, extolled the remission of sins, as one of the most extraordinary proofs of the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 1:1-80

Luke, the author of this third gospel, was called by Paul the apostle "the beloved physician." There is some speculation that his patron was a man by the name of Theophilus. In those days physicians were often slaves. And there are some who theorize that Luke was Theophilus' personal physician and servant. Whether or not that be so is only a matter of speculation, and thus, worthless to delve into.Luke was a Greek. And he is the only Gentile to have the privilege of placing scripture in that... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 1:1-80

Luke 1:1 . Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things, which within a short compass of years have been acted and accomplished among us. In the first age, Eusebius admits, that no less than sixty gospels had made their appearance; a number which Mr. Whiston repeats without scruple or disbelief. The fathers, Ambrose, Jerome, and Augustine, allow that the number was considerable. Heretics wrote gospels, of which Ambrose says, “they have filled... read more

Luke 1:56-80Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should he deliveredThe nativity of John the BaptistThat which was miraculous at the beginning became natural towards the close.This is seen in the case of Elisabeth, as recorded in the fifty-seventh verse. True also of spiritual generation. Begins in mystery and proceeds to prove itself by all that is practical in behaviour. The work of the Holy Ghost in the heart of man can never be explained; it will ever be as miraculous as the... read more

Luke 1:67-79And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy GhostThe song of ZachariasI.Preliminary questions. In the opening portion of St. Luke’s Gospel, there is a definiteness of time, place, and circumstance, which makes us feel that we are not breathing in the air or looking through the deceptive light of legend. We are not travelling in dreamland, for we can measure distances. The objections which have been made in modern times to this statement are derived from two elements in the... read more
