LUKE 19:17

1686

34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. CHRIST heals blind Bartimaeus and a friend (S/A - Mt 20:29-34 & Mk 10:46-52) 35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: 36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou 1 SON OF DAVID , have mercy on me. 39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be brought unto him: and when he was come near, he asked him, 41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto thee ? And he said, LORD , that I may receive my sight. 42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee . 43 2 And immediately he received his sight, and followed him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God. Luke 19 Zacchaeus trusts CHRIST ! Date - AD 32 1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. 2 And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich. 3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the 3 press, because he was little of stature. 4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way. 5 And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down;

for to day I must abide at thy house . 6 And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully. 7 And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner. 8 And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him 4 fourfold. 9 And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is 5 a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost . Parable #33 - The pounds [A lesson for the saved – Learn to use the opportunities God gives you to use your God-given gifts - Mt 25:14-30] 11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that 6 the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 12 He said therefore, A certain 7 NOBLE- MAN went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, 8 Occupy till I come. 14 But his 9 citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. 15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, 10 having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, 11 that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. PP 16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. The promise to faithful saints to rule and reign with CHRIST (Fulfilled - Rev 20:4) 17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, 12 have thou authority over ten cities.

18:34 The question has been asked: “Were the disciples saved at this point or were they lost until some time after the resurrection?” Interestingly enough, if only the Gospel saves (and, according to Romans 1:16, Ephesians 1:13 and I Corinthians 15:1-4, it does), then how could these disciples have been saved here when they knew nothing of the actual death, burial, and resurrection of Christ? It says in verse 34, “And they understood none of these things…” If the disciples here were not saved until after Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection (because they could look back at what He did and trust it), then every pre-death, burial, and resurrection
