Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 12:29

Luke ANXIOUS ABOUT EARTH, OR EARNEST ABOUT THE KINGDOM STILLNESS IN STORM Luk_12:29 . I think that these words convey no very definite idea to most readers. The thing forbidden is not very sharply defined by the expression which our translators have employed, but the original term is very picturesque and precise. The word originally means ‘to be elevated, to be raised as a meteor,’ and comes by degrees to mean to be raised in one special way-namely, as a boat is tossed by a tough sea. So... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 12:30-31

Luke ANXIOUS ABOUT EARTH, OR EARNEST ABOUT THE KINGDOM Luk_12:22 - Luk_12:31 . The parable of the rich fool was spoken to the multitude, but our Lord now addresses the disciples. ‘Therefore’ connects the following with the foregoing teachings. The warnings against anxiety are another application of the prohibition of laying up treasure for self. Torturing care is the poor man’s form of worldliness, as luxurious self-indulgence is the rich man’s. There are two kinds of gout, as doctors tell... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 12:1-12

the Secret of Fearlessness Luke 12:1-12 The program of this paragraph seems dark. The leaven of evil always at work; the body tortured and killed; confession difficult, denial easy; the trials before synagogues and rulers; the anxiety of witnessing a good confession. The Lord never hesitated in stating the heavy tribulation through which His disciples must come to the Kingdom. But what infinite compensations! Not forgotten by God; our hairs numbered; confessed before the angels; taught how... read more

the Doom of the Money Lover Luke 12:13-21 Our Lord did not come into our world as an earthly judge, adjusting differences between man and man. He lays down great principles, obedience to which will bring heaven into human lives. One of the greatest of these is here enunciated in Luke 12:15 . Covetousness is as much a temptation of the poor man who is wronged as of his rich oppressor; and love for money will inevitably, in poor and rich, becloud the vision and disturb the inner peace. The... read more

the Cure for Anxious Care Luke 12:22-34 Notice this contrast between two kinds of men: the one cares for himself, is anxious for this life, worries about food and clothes and standing a cubit higher in the estimate of his fellows; the other is content to fill the niche and do the work assigned him by the Father. And he performs his life-task, not for the remuneration it will bring, but for the “well-done” of God-sure that all which is needed, whether for his soul or body, will be provided by... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 12:1-59

Knowing that the enmity of the rulers against Him would proceed also against His disciples, He told them not to be afraid of those who kill the body, remembering ever their Father's care, as revealed in the sparrows, and in the numbering of the hairs of their heads. His address to His disciples was interrupted by one of the multitude. It was an appeal for action in the matter of the distribution of property. Refusing to arbitrate, He uttered the great parable of the rich fool, declaring... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 12:4-5

THE FEAR OF HELL‘Be not afraid of them that kill the body.… Fear Him, which after He hath killed hath power to cast into hell.’Luke 12:4-Deuteronomy :We cannot safely put aside motives of fear. It was the motive of fear which enabled Wesley and Whitefield to convert their hundreds of thousands. We are altogether unsafe if we do not remember the punishments of hell behind us, if we fall back, as well as the glories of heaven before us if we go forward. It is with an infinite tenderness that... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 12:8

CONFESSING CHRIST‘Whosoever shall confess Me before men, him shall the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God.’ Luke 12:8 We must not be ashamed to let all men see that we believe in Christ, and serve Christ, and love Christ, and care more for the praise of Christ than for the praise of men. I. The duty of confessing Christ is incumbent on all Christians in every age of the Church. Let us never forget that. It is not for martyrs only, but for all believers, in every rank of life. It... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 12:10

THE UNPARDONABLE SIN‘And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not he forgiven.’ Luke 12:10 It is impossible to deny that there is such a thing as an unpardonable sin. I. What is it?—It would seem to be from our Lord’s words the sin of deliberately rejecting God’s truth with the heart, while the truth is clearly known with the head. It is—( a) The sin of combining light in the understanding... read more

A MAN’S LIFE‘A man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.’ Luke 12:15 A man’s life! What a marvellous gift! Wherefore should a living man complain, though he be stripped of everything else, if there is left to him that wonderful thing called life? I. In itself.—A man’s life, capable of almost infinite happiness, and capable of almost infinite misery—to what heights may it not climb, and to what depths descend, and to what in the great future may not your... read more
