Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 7:18-35

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 7:19.—The message sent by John the Baptist to Jesus has been the subject of much discussion. Though in form questions, his words are virtually an appeal to Christ to declare Himself and to hasten His kingdom. The fact that John was dissatisfied with the character of the work in which Jesus was engaged and wished to suggest a new departure indicates a defective faith. In view of the words in Luke 7:23 we can scarcely doubt that some measure of blame attached to the Baptist for... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 7:22

Luke 7:22 The description of His own work which Jesus returned for the instruction and encouragement of the Baptist presents these three features: (1) it is a ministry of abundant charity to the temporal needs of needy men; (2) it is a ministry of Divine promise and help "the poor receive glad tidings;" (3) these two are blended naturally and simply together. I. On part of this ground we are at one; it is that of desire to minister to the good and increase the happiness of our fellowmen. To ask... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 7:1-50

Luke 7:2 . A certain centurion’s servant. As soon as this officer heard of Christ, he believed in him, having been assured of the miracles by competent witnesses. Being a gentile, he sent the rulers to Christ, to ask mercy on behalf of a favourite domestic. Luke 7:5 . He hath built us a synagogue. Works done for God are sure in the issue to receive a divine reward; and they who shelter his flock on earth shall find a sanctuary in his kingdom, provided that their piety be sincere.

Luke 7:19-22Art Thou He that should come, or look we for another?--John’s doubting message to Jesus1. Much discussion has taken place concerning John’s doubt, whether it was real or affected; and if real, what was its cause? We believe there was doubt in the mind of the Baptist--serious doubt--arising out of no personal or petty source, but caused by the way in which the Messianic career of Jesus was developing itself. 2. This doubt was not in regard to the identity of the worker of the works... read more

Some are offended in Christ because of His peculiar doctrines. They dislike mysteries, they say. But what is there which is... read more
