Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 11:6-13

Luke 11:6-13 The Friend at Midnight. I. The success of prayer is conditioned by the character of the suppliant. Not every kind of asking is acceptable prayer. That which men desire simply for the gratification of malice, or the pampering of appetite, or the satisfying of ambition, or the aggrandising of selfishness, God has nowhere promised to bestow; and unless there be in us the spirit to subordinate everything to the honour of Jehovah, we have no warrant to expect an answer. II. That which... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 11:1-54

Tonight, chapter 11 in the gospel according to Luke.Again, as Luke is pointing out the human side of Jesus, though He was God, He became man. He is the God-man. He is divine, and yet, He is human. The perfect balance. And whereas John points out the divinity of Christ in his gospel, which we will be entering into next, Luke points out the humanity of Jesus. And because this is the special emphasis of Luke, he does record more than any of the other gospel writers concerning the prayer life of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 11:1-54

Luke 11:1 . Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. The disciples of John were eminent for fasting and prayer; and though the prayers of the jews were good, yet they were not exactly adapted to the new dispensation which John came to introduce. The litanies or pleadings of the jews were brief, but their doxologies were numerous. Luke 11:2 . Our Father which art in heaven. The last words of this sentence are not in the Vulgate, but they are understood in the word... read more

Luke 11:9-10Ask, and it shall be given youThe law of prayerThis familiar text is usually quoted, and rightly so, as being one of the most precious promises and encouragements to prayer which the Bible contains; but if you look at the text, it is far more than a promise encouraging prayer.It is a declaration of the condition of our receiving any good gift from God. For reasons which may not be fully intelligible to us, God has limited His mercy. There is the treasure-house full of grace. You go... read more

§ 87. THE DISCIPLES TAUGHT HOW TO PRAY, Luke 11:1-13 . 1. Came pass… in a certain place Probably a few days after the last narrative, and within the vicinity, east of Jerusalem. See Harmony, p. 101. He was praying Praying, perhaps, such a powerful prayer as to arouse the feeling that they knew not how to pray, and needed to be taught. Teach us to pray Teach us the body of blessings we may hope to receive, and therefore what object is right, and not presumptuous to ask; teach us, even... read more
