F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 19:28-40

the Welcome of the King Luke 19:28-40 This humble triumph is a further revelation of our Lord’s character. The lowliness of it, which exposed Him to the sneers and ridicule of scribe and Pharisee, greatly pleased the simple folk from Galilee, who recognized Him as their own, and were proud to identify themselves with Him. See Matthew 21:11 . It is thus that Jesus pursues His way through the ages; the princes of this world know Him not, but His character is appreciated and His claims are... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 19:1-48

Zacchaeus was the last convert but one in the ministry of Jesus. Our Lord's method with him is very revealing. He asked for his hospitality, and after receiving it held an unrecorded conversation with him which resulted in the complete revolution of the man's outlook and his activity. It was in this connection that our Lord uttered that supreme word of His ministry, "The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." In close connection He uttered the parable of the pounds.... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 19:1-10

Where the Saviour and the Sinner Meet Luke 19:1-10 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. A sinner seeking to see the Saviour. The fame of Jesus had swept into all the regions about. Great crowds continually thronged Him. He was constantly teaching and preaching, healing and helping. Many thought that it would be He who would immediately rescue Israel from the curse of Roman tyranny. Others, stirred up by the rulers and leaders of the Jews, swarmed against Christ, to entangle Him in His talk that they might... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 19:28-46

The Magnificat to the King Luke 19:28-46 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Step by step Christ moved on fulfilling prophecy. The whole life of the Lord Jesus Christ, from the cradle to the ascension, was a marvelous fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies. He was born as the Prophets wrote of Him; born of a virgin; born in Bethlehem; born a Child, given a Son; born of the lineage of David; His Name was called Immanuel. He was brought up as the Prophets wrote of Him. An alien to His mother's children;... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 19:2

ZACCHÆUS‘And behold, there was a man named Zacchæus.’Luke 19:2‘Behold’—here the history of a soul, its struggles into the light. I. Zacchæus was ‘rich’: the sin is when money is used only for selfish ends. Christ never set the masses against the classes. He assumed there would be poor as well as rich: the rich man, however, was not to do as he liked with his money: he was responsible to God, in fact, he was only a steward. II. Zacchæus wanted to see Christ.—It was evidently no lazy wish, so... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 19:6

ZACCHÆUS AND CHRIST‘And (Zacchæus) made haste, and came down, and received Him joyfully.’ Luke 19:6 When Christ was upon earth He dealt with every one severally in such a way as to promote in every one a growing and increasing devotion to His will. In the story of Zacchæus we see one who made a glad response to the demand that the Lord laid upon him. He added himself to the company of Jesus Christ. I. We cannot postpone decision in spiritual things. The command is, ‘Make haste, to-day I must... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 19:10

CHRIST’S MISSION OF MERCY‘The Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.’ Luke 19:10 The justification of Christ’s conduct towards Zacchæus the publican is threefold:— I. His own nature as ‘the Son of Man.’—This name frequently applied to Christ by Himself, never, in the Gospels, applied to Him by others, possessed peculiar force and peculiar advantages. It declared His special connection with the Jew, and also identified Him with the whole of humanity. The name is a... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 19:13

A MOTTO FOR LIFE‘Occupy till I come.’ Luke 19:13 The words have a threefold course: A constant, daily, life-long work; a sweet end, when that work is done; and the highest and most loving motive which can ever influence the heart of man: ‘Occupy till I come.’A man, who wishes to be ‘occupied,’ must be first careful of this—that his life is not pre-occupied. I. Get rid of pre-occupation.—The great hindrance to religion is a pre-occupied mind: affections already given, ends already fixed, life... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 19:17

FAITHFULNESS IN LITTLE THINGS‘Because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.’ Luke 19:17‘Faithful’ is a larger and more comprehensive word than at first sight appears. It has two meanings; it has a double application. It means, first, one who trusts, and then one who himself is worthy to be trusted. And in this sense the word ‘trusted’ has a greater teaching. We must first trust that we may be trusted. In Bible language, we must have ‘faith’ ourselves... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 19:1

‘And he entered and was passing through Jericho.’ Meanwhile Jesus continued on His way to Jerusalem, passing through Jericho on the way, for He had another appointment there. Another man was blind and needed to see. His name was Zacchaeus. read more
