Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:16

And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, for I have not where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do; I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat drink, be merry. But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:23

And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. For the life is more than food, and the body than raiment.IV. Warning against anxieties.Much of the material in this paragraph is also found in Matthew in the sermon on the mount; but as Plummer noted:It does not follow, because this lesson was given immediately after the parable of the rich fool, that therefore it was not part of the sermon on... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:24

Consider the ravens, they sow not, neither do they reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds.This is another of the Saviour's illustrations teaching the same lesson as that based upon his reference to the sparrows (Luke 12:6-7). It is easy to see in these passages how the Lord varied and adapted his teaching at various times and places. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:25

And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to the measure of his life? If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest?Some versions read "his stature" instead of "his life" in this place; and Ash says that "the Greek word could refer to stature";[27] but this presents no problem, being true either way. The argument is from the less to the greater; and if one cannot add a trifling eighteen inches to the span of his life, why not trust God... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 12:27

Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothe the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more shall he clothe you, O ye of little faith?It should be remembered that Christ was not here denouncing the textile industries. The problem addressed was anxiety; and the argument is that for all of man's feverish anxieties about... read more
