Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Luke 12:29

Anxiety, Ambition, Indecision January 27, 1876 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Neither be ye of doubtful mind." Luke 12:29 The chief concern of a man should be, to see that his own soul is right in the sight of God. Solomon said, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." Many persons think a great deal about the adorning of the body, but do not think anything about the ornaments of the soul. The feeding of the physical frame engrosses much care, but the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 12:1-59

Shall we turn in our Bibles to Luke's gospel, chapter 12.We are dealing with the final month in the ministry of Jesus. He has returned to Jerusalem. He will soon be leaving Jerusalem to go down to the area of the Jordan River beyond Jericho. Where He will sort of absent Himself from the authorities, until such a time as He comes back for the feast of the Passover, and makes His triumphant entry on the Sunday before the feast of the Passover. So just where, here in Luke's account, does Jesus... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 12:1-59

Luke 12:1 . There were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people. The Greek is myriads, or ten thousands of people. Luke 12:5 . Power to cast into hell. The Greek is Gehenna, as on Isaiah 30:33. Matthew 5:22. Luke 12:6 . Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, two assarions. The assarion was the tenth of a denarion. A farthing, that is, the fourth of a penny, though correct in English, is quite erroneous when applied to the denarion, as in the Greek. Matthew 22:19.... read more

Luke 12:8Whosoever shall confess Me before meThe judgment-seat of ChristI.For FINGER-POSTS that may guide our endeavour to come at the spiritual reality here symbolized, such thoughts as these may serve. 1. Evidently Christ here contrasts the seen and the unseen world as respectively small and great; here a petty vicinage, there a grand environment; here ignorant men, there high intelligences--the angels of God; here ourselves as affected by the examples and opinions of sinners, there ourselves... read more

Luke 12:9He that denieth Me before menOn denying ChristI.HOW MANY WAYS CHRIST AND HIS TRUTHS MAY BE DENIED; AND WHAT IS THE DENIAL HERE CHIEFLY INTENDED. Here, first, in general I assert that we may deny Him in all those acts that are capable of being morally good or evil; those are the proper scene in which we act our confessions or denials of Him. Accordingly, therefore, all ways of denying Christ I shall comprise under these three. 1. We may deny Him and His truths by an erroneous, heretical... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Luke 12:10

Luke 12:10Blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost--Blasphemy against the Holy GhostI.First, the OCCASION on which this declaration was made requires our particular attention; for it does not appear that it was ever repeated or applied to any other subject. II. Let us, then, inquire into THE NAME AND NATURE OF THE CRIME TO WHICH OUR SAVIOUR SO SOLEMNLY REFERS. 1. It is necessary to attend to the name, for it is often applied erroneously. Thus we often hear of the sin against the Holy Ghost; whereas... read more

Luke 12:11-12The Holy Ghost shall teach youDivine help for ministers in discharging their dutiesThe advice and promise contained in these verses were very suitable to the disciples, many of whom were soon to be called before Jewish and Roman courts of various kinds for the sake of Christ.Plain and illiterate as the disciples generally were, they would be ready to be much alarmed at the thought of appearing before civil and ecclesiastical rulers and judges, not only from the apprehension that... read more

Luke 12:13-14Who made Me a Judge era divider over you?--Christ not a civil judge, but a Redeemer;At first sight, Christ’s refusal to interfere between these brothers seems astonishing. Is there not a question of justice to be decided? And who is so competent to deal with it as the Holy and Just One? I. THE REASON OF THIS STRANGE REFUSAL. It is sometimes said that Jesus Christ only seeks the eternal salvation of the soul, and does not concern Himself about other human interests. This explanation... read more

Luke 12:15Take heed and beware of covetousnessBusiness lifeI shall try to keep in view the chief risk to the moral and religious nature which are incident to a business life, and my aim will be to show you where the best safeguard against it is to be sought.I. THE CHIEF DANGERS, WHAT ARE THEY? It is a misfortune in the path of a commercial trader to be kept in perpetual contact with the purely material value of all possible substances. The public sentiment of great business centres is apt to... read more
