The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 23:35-37

Luke 23:35-37He saved others, let Him save HimselfGod in sovereignty often selects as His instruments those who have no desire to be subordinate to His willSome passengers on the ship’s deck may be walking forward, and some walking aft, and some standing still; but all, and all alike, are borne onward to their destiny by the breath of heaven in the sails, and according to the will of the pilot who holds the helm in his hand.This world in space is like a ship on the sea. Of the teeming... read more

Luke 23:38A superscription also was written over HimThe superscription affixed to the cross of ChristIt was the custom of the Romans, that the equity of their proceedings might more clearly appear when they crucified any man, to publish the cause of his death in a table written in capital letters, and placed over the head of the crucified.And that there might be, at least, a show and face of justice in Christ’s death, He also shall have His title or superscription. The worst and most... read more

Luke 23:39-43And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on HimThe impenitent malefactorI.THIS MAN’S TREATMENT OF CHRIST suggests several things for our consideration. “He railed on Him.” 1. What inhumanity. The suffering of Jesus ought surely to have moved his heart to pity. 2. The friendlessness of the majestic Sufferer touched him not. 3. His like condition to the Sufferer by his side touched no chord of sympathy in his breast. II. THE MALEFACTOR WAS AN UNBELIEVER. He had probably... read more

Luke 23:42Lord, remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdomThe penitent robber’s faith and prayerI.HIS WONDERFUL FAITH. “When Thou comest into Thy kingdom.” When Charles I. of England, or Maximilian, the brilliantly brief Mexican emperor, were about to suffer death, suppose such an expectation had been expressed to them! It would have been considered a sickly taunt. Not so this. II. HIS REMARKABLE REQUEST. “Remember me.” “God is not unrighteous to forget” Christian labour of love, but here... read more

Luke 23:44-45There was a darkness over all the earthThe three hours’ darknessWhat a call must that mid-day midnight have been to the careless sons of men! They knew not that the Son of God was among them; nor that He was working out human redemption.The grandest hour in all history seemed likely to pass by unheeded, when, suddenly, night hastened from her chambers and usurped the day. Every one asked his fellow, “What means this darkness?” Business stood still: the plough stayed in mid-furrow,... read more

Luke 23:45The veil of the temple was rentThe rent veilThis miraculous event was plainly typical of several important things.1. This was a type of the violent rending of Christ’s body on the cross. 2. This typified our Lord’s own entrance into heaven. 3. This miracle intimated that, by the death of Christ, the ceremonies of the law were, at once, explained and abolished. 4. This miracle intimated that the distinction between Jew and Gentile was at an end. 5. The rending of the veil typified... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 23:27

27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. Ver. 27. Which also bewailed ] This was all they could do, and it was much they dared do it in so evil a time. In the reign of Tiberius, one Vitia was punished with death for that she had lamented Geminus her son, executed as friend to Sejanus. And because they could not accuse women for attempting against the State, their tears were criminal, saith Tacitus. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 23:28

28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. Ver. 28. Weep not for me ] We are not so much to lament Christ’s dolorous sufferings (as Papists use to do in their stage playing descriptions of his passion) as to lay to heart and lament our sins, the cause of all. When a Papist came to Master Hooper at the stake, and said, "Sir, I am sorry to see you thus," "Be sorry for thyself, man," said hearty Hooper, "and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Luke 23:29

29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck. Ver. 29. Blessed are the barren ] Better be so than bring forth children to the murderer. Hence Hosea prays for barrenness as a blessing on his people, Hosea 9:14 . read more
