Luke 12:8-34 NIV

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 12:22-34

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 12:8

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 12:15

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

THE RICH FOOL‘And he said, This will I do … But God said unto him, Thou fool.’ Luke 12:18-Proverbs : How busy are the streets of a great city! How anxious and eager are some of the faces we meet! Look at this man—poor a few years ago, well off now. He has been successful in his business. This is what all these business people are striving to be. Our Lord’s parable is a solemn warning about success in life. The rich man had good land, good harvests, and no doubt looked well after his farms.... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 12:32

THE MINISTRY AND THE KINGDOM‘Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.’ Luke 12:32 I ask you to dwell with me for a little while on some thoughts about the Christian ministry, its ennobling hopes, its inevitable perils. I have taken as a text our Lord’s own words to His disciples. I. Sureness of victory.—The phrase rings out high encouragement and cheer. And the hearers needed such cheer. They were just then, it would seem, beginning to realise,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:1-12

Instruction To His Disciples About Living In The Light Of Eternity (12:1-12). Approaching the detail of the section the first thing that Jesus wants to do is make His disciples think in the light of eternity. So He warns them to beware of the hypocrisy of the Scribes and Pharisees, as illustrated in the previous passage, and of becoming like them and thinking like them (like all Jews they had been brought up to respect and take heed to these ‘great men’), and then puts their whole situation in... read more

Jesus Teaches Concerning Greed, Stewardship and the Need For Fruitfulness Under The Kingly Rule of God Centring on the Fact That He Will Make The Crooked Straight (12:1-14:35). As we have seen we may analyse this next Section from Luke 12:1 to Luke 14:35 into its separate parts as follows: a Instructions to disciples concerning facing up to eternity (Luke 12:1-12). b An example is given of covetousness concerning an inheritance which is followed by the parable of the fool who decided to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 12:8-9

“And I say to you, Every one who shall confess me before men, him will the Son of man also confess before the angels of God, but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.” He has been speaking about how they should live generally, but now He turns to the crucial question facing all. And that is as to what their attitude should be to Him. For in the end that is what all comes down to. Deliverance or otherwise will finally depend on a person’s... read more
