The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 6:27-30

Luke 6:27-30But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemiesThe ideal of ChristianityThis passage is in earnest.You are to do this. Why? In order that you may come into the family of God. Here is not simply an additional moral maxim, but it is a critical turning thing. Whereas nature says, “Use all your powers of body and mind to repel injuries, and to punish those that are against you”; the spiritual kingdom says, “Use none of them; forgive, love, pray for, bless, help, carry a little heaven... read more

Luke 6:31And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.What would we that men should do unto us?1. That they should deal with us honestly. 2. That they should treat us generously. 3. That they should deal with us faithfully; warning us of any danger into which we are liable to fall. 4. That they should be patient with us. (H. S. Brown.)The royal lawI. THE LAW ITSELF--1. Teaches us to take the initiative; to begin to do for others what we conceive they ought to do for... read more

Luke 6:32-34For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye?--The heroic in ChristianityOur Master, evidently, from the verses before us, did not come into the world to teach us to conform to the ways of our fellow-men; but He would have us go far beyond the ordinary conduct of our fellows. If I were called to address an ordinary company of men and women upon feats of valour, I might speak with bated breath if I exhorted them to heroism in war; but if I had lived some thousands of years... read more

Luke 6:35And ye shall be the children of the HighestThe Christian aim and motive1st.The Christian aim--perfection. 2nd. The Christian motive--because it is right and Godlike to be perfect. I. THE CHRISTIAN AIM IS THIS--to be perfect. “Be ye therefore perfect.” Now distinguish this, I pray you, from mere worldly morality. It is not conformity to a creed that is here required, but aspiration after a state. It is not demanded of us to perform a number of duties, but to yield obedience to a certain... read more

Luke 6:36Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is mercifulThe blessing of mercy“Mercy” is the one great cry of human nature.We dare not ask for justice, we can only plead for mercy. We, who want so much mercy from God, must learn to show mercy to our fellow-men. How can we look to Him for mercy if we never show mercy, how can we ask forgiveness unless we forgive? Think of some of the ways in which we can show mercy. 1. We must show mercy and loving-kindness, practically, by deeds, not... read more

Luke 6:37Judge not, and ye shall not be judgedJudge notNo man, avers Sir Thomas Browne, can justly censure or condemn another, because, in fact, no man truly knows another.“This I perceive in myself; for I am in the dark to all the world, and my nearest friends behold me but in a cloud.”… Further, no man can judge another, because no man knows himself. The Vicar of Gravenhurst, in his position of parish priest, owns himself compelled to confess that the best people are not the best in every... read more

Luke 6:38Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed downOn Christian givingI.GET, GATHER. Are there not many persona of a very careless and prodigal disposition? II. GIVE. Begin to give as soon as you begin to get. That will prevent the danger of a growing covetousness. III. THE GIVING SHOULD BE IN SOME PROPORTION TO THE INCOME. I do not presume to fix the proportion. But I the more insist on the principle of a fair and just proportion, and on the duty o! the individual to turn... read more

Luke 6:39Can the blind lead the blind?Shall they not both fall into the ditch? The suggestive supposition is made by Dr. Reid (“Inquiry into the human mind”) that it had been as uncommon to be born with the power of sight as it is now to be born incapable of it, in which case “the few who had this rare gift would appear as prophets or inspired teachers to the many.” Blind-led blindMany a paraphrase of the proverb, and of a perishing people where there is no vision, might be cited from the... read more

Luke 6:40The disciple is not above his Master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his MasterThe disciple not above his masterThis saying was already a proverb in the time of our Lord, or He made it a proverb by His frequent use of it Matthew 10:24-25; John 13:12-16; John 15:20).On the occasion referred to by St. Luke, He uses it in its widest, its most general scope; for here He is speaking of any and every master, of any and every disciple. “No disciple,” He says, “while he remains a... read more

Luke 6:41-42And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?--The true and the false reformer contrastedNow, as no age has been without its abominations, so none has been without its reformers. We read of them alike in sacred and in secular history. We hear of them alike in Heathendom and in Christendom, in lands of barbarous darkness and in lands of religious enlightenment. Abel, Enoch, and Noah were reformers. So were Abraham,... read more
