Bible Question: Can I know the meaning of the verses in Luke 7:31 - 35. How luke compared the men of this generation? |
Bible Answer: Hi, St. Julien, according to Matthew Henry, this was said to draw attention to the "strange perverseness" of the men of that generation. This was due to excessive fault-finding on the part of the men against John and Christ and the prejudices that they conceived against them. So Christ (It was the LORD who was quoted here, not Luke)was saying, in not so many words, what can I think of that is absurd enough to compare to these foolish men? Christ felt that way after the men took what God was doing for their benefit and made jokes about His methods. Peace and Grace, Tim |
