Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 19:1-10

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 19:1. Jericho.—“The city of palm-trees (Deuteronomy 34:3; Judges 1:16) is about six miles from the Jordan and fifteen from Jerusalem. When taken by Joshua the site had been cursed (Joshua 6:26), but in the reign of Ahab, Hiel of Bethel defied and underwent the curse (1 Kings 16:34). In later times Jericho became a great and wealthy town, being fertilised by its abundant springs (2 Kings 2:21) and enriched by its palms and balsams” (Farrar). The trade in balsam was extensive,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 19:1-10

Luke 19:1-10 I. A whole paragraph is devoted to the delineation of one man's life, while so many great subjects are hardly touched upon in the Christian Scriptures. Yet let us not complain of what looks to us like capriciousness and incompleteness of Divine revelation, for in these portrayals of individuals we have not only the most practical aspects of the Christian faith, but we get nearer to God than would otherwise have been possible. II. Zacchæus sought to see Jesus through natural... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 19:10

Luke 19:10 The Redeemer's Errand to this World. I. We find in our text Christ's estimate of the condition of humanity. It is something that is lost. Man is a lost thing. You may look at him in many lights. He is a toiling, hardworking creature. He is an anxious, careworn creature. But for the Redeemer's purpose, the characteristic that surmounted and included and leavened and ran through all the rest, was, that he is a lost creature. All error from the right way; all distance from our heavenly... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Luke 19:10

DISCOURSE: 1561THE END FOR WHICH THE SON OF MAN CAMELuke 19:10. The Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.ONE would imagine that all should be pleased with the conversion of notorious sinners: but it too often excites indignation rather than pleasure in the breasts of proud Pharisees. Zaccheus was a tax-gatherer, and most probably, like the rest in that line, was addicted to rapacity and extortion, though, perhaps, not in so great a degree as some others. He having a... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Luke 19:10

The Mission of the Son of Man July 11, 1858 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10 . How fond our master was of the sweet title, the "Son of Man!" If he had chosen, he might always have spoken of himself as the Son of God, the Everlasting Father, the Wonderful, the Counseller, the Prince of Peace. He hath a thousand gorgeous titles, resplendent as the throne of heaven, but he careth not to use them: to express his... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 19:1-48

Now Jesus has entered into Jericho ( Luke 19:1 ).And as He is passing through the city,Behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans ( Luke 19:2 ),The city of Jericho was an oasis. It was a resort town; it was the Palm Springs, except even more lush. The winters can get quite cold in Jerusalem. They get even an occasional snow. But down in Jericho in the wintertime the weather is just really perfect. The days are usually clear. You get less than two inches of... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 19:1-48

Luke 19:11 . He spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, to correct the fond error of those who thought he would reign on earth. This parable therefore differs from that of the talents, in Matthew 25:0., which was spoken in the temple to denounce judgment on those who had leagued to take away his life. That respected the high endowment of talents, one, two, and five in number. This speaks only of pounds, one of which, the sixtieth part of a talent, was given to each. Yet the... read more
