181 | What is "that which is within"? | Luke 11:41 | Mommapbs | 241348 | ||
What is "that which is within?" Looking at the Amplified, this refers to inward righteousness. Might this reference also the motivation of the heart? | ||||||
182 | Let's analyze "this present time." | Luke 12:56 | Mommapbs | 47447 | ||
The following quote was written by Jeff Jacoby: "Jews, it is often said, are the canary in the coal mine of civilization. When they become the objects of savagery and hate, it means the air has been poisoned and an explosion is soon to come. If Europeans don't rise up and turn against the Jew-haters, the Jew-haters will rise up and turn against them." The Boston Globe 4/28/02 Mr. Jacoby has made observations and rightly concludes that the Jews seem to be a barometer of peace for the world. God's Word tells us that HE has chosen them; they are the "apple of His eye." (Zech 2:8) God tells us, "I make known the end from the beginning". (See Isa 46:9-11) He has given us signs from His Word that allows us to interpret "this present time." The secular press is able to recognize that the Jews are a special people and that they have a profound effect upon the world. Yet why does it seem that the Church is as ignorant as the scribes and other religious leaders in Jesus' day? "Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is." Ephesians 5:15-17 As believers, what things today can we identify that support "the days are evil?" What signs do we recognize that enable us to discern "this present time?" Perhaps if we start making a written list to refer to, (some of us need to see it in black and white before we process it!) we will be better equipped to respond in a God-honoring way rather than silence and complacency! It is interesting to note that when Satan is expelled from Heaven (Rev 12) he will be full of fury because HE "knows his time is short"! I we, as followers of Jesus, recognize that our time is short before the Lord returns, what should characterize our lives during "this present time?" Please support your answers from God's Word. |

184 | Questions on Luke 17: 5-10 | Luke 17:10 | Mommapbs | 101482 | ||
When the disciples asked Jesus to "increase their faith," He included this in His instruction. Please consider the passage in Luke 17:5-10. I'm interested in comments on verse 10 - what does this say to you? Does this say something about OUR servanthood or what our attitude should/should not be? | ||||||

187 | Prophetic overtones re Israel? | Luke 22:51 | Mommapbs | 47285 | ||
Might there be a prophetic overtone to this healing? I'm just wondering if there is more significance to this instance than meets the eye? Could the cutting off the ear suggest spiritual deafness? Since it was the ear of the servant of the Jewish High Priest, might we infer that he represents the Jewish nation that chose to not follow Jesus as Messiah? And the healing of the ear by Jesus . . . might this be a picture of the future salvation of Israel mentioned in Romans 11? |

190 | What united Herod and Pilate? | Luke 23:12 | Mommapbs | 124298 | ||
For the Church there is unity in Christ - this alliance is different? What united Herod and Pilate? What motivated each man's rejection of Jesus? How might this be useful to us as we "witness" to others? Country Girl, you noted that Pilate "tried his best" yet what was the result? What might this suggest to us about our efforts? |
||||||
191 | What if they knew what they wee doing? | Luke 23:34 | Mommapbs | 105452 | ||
Consider this request of Jesus,"Father forgive them for they know not what they are doing." I'm wondering about His statement. If they knew that Jesus IS God, would they have crucified Him? AND . . . If they knew what they were doing, would they still be forgiven because of His atoning death? |
||||||
192 | What if? | Luke 23:34 | Mommapbs | 105463 | ||
Greetings - you didn't answer the question! But Jesus was saying, "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves - Luke 23:34 If they knew what they were doing, would they still be forgiven because of His atoning death? Let's re-visit and consider the implications of this question. mommapbs |

This question also refers also to v.31 "Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Him; and He vanished from their sight." Prior to this, these two followers of Jesus did not recognize the presence of the Lord in their midst? What caused their eyes to be opened, the bread or the Bread? |

What results might we expect? Please support your answers with Scripture - thanks! (This is not homework, just something I'm processing right now!) |

The Gospel of John does not record the transfiguration of Jesus (Mark 9:2-10; Matt 17:1-9; Luke 9:28-36) yet is this what John is referring to in this verse when he states: "We saw His glory?" |
||||||
