Lucas 9
Henry - When the service and honour of Christ called for his testimony and agency, he denied them, because the interest of Christ was a despised interest, and every where spoken against; and therefore he can expect no other than that in the great day, when his case calls for Christ's appearance on his behalf, Christ will be ashamed to own such a cowardly, worldly, sneaking spirit, and will say, "He is none of mine; he belongs not to me." Robert Stein - This is another way of saying “to disown me,” and the opposite is “to acknowledge me” as Lk 12:8–9 points out (cf. Lk 22:54–61). The loyalty to ultimate values demanded in Lk 9:24 becomes more focused on Jesus. (See Luke: An Exegetical and Theological Exposition of Holy Scripture) William

Henry observes that here they even want to add lightning to their repertoire! But James went on to give up his life as a martyr and John grew to be known as the Apostle of Love. If the grace of the Lord Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit could change these hotheads, there is hope for us all! Change begins when we acknowledge our sin and come to the cross in repentance. We should walk in the same way (Col 2:6). If you have wronged someone through pride or anger, humble yourself, go and ask their forgiveness. As you learn to practice humility and love, even toward those who have wronged you, you will become an effective servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. (Luke 9:46-56 Relational Lessons for Christian Service) Luke 9:56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." And they went on to another village KJV For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them. And they went to another village. Son of Man Lk 19:10; Matthew 18:11; 20:28; John 3:17; Jn 10:10; 12:47; 1 Timothy 1:15 And they went Lk 6:27-31; 22:51; 23:34; Matthew 5:39; Ro 12:21; 1 Peter 2:21-23 Luke 9 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Luke 9:46-56 - Steven Cole Luke 9:51-56 A Mission of Mercy - John MacArthur Luke 9:46-56 Humility: An Essential Element for Ministry - John MacArthur Related Passages: Matthew 20:28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” John 3:17 “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. John 12:47 “If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 1 Timothy 1:15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all. THE SON OF MAN'S MISSION TO SAVE NOT DESTROY The Son of Man - This term was used frequent by Ezekiel to describe the prophet himself, but Daniel used Son of Man to refer to a prophecy of the Messiah (see below). In the NT Son of Man is used in 84 verses the majority referring to Jesus. Son of Man was Jesus' favorite description of Himself. By using the phrase "of Man" Jesus demonstrates His compassionate willingness to identify with fallen mankind. (see full note above) Did not come to destroy (apollumi) men's lives (souls - psuche) , but to save (sozo) them - In Matthew the angel told Joseph to name Mary's Son Jesus "for it is He Who will save His people from their sins." (Mt 1:21). Jesus Himself declared (the theme verse of Luke) "For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” (Lk 19:10+) They went on (poreuomai) to another village - Another is heteros, another of a different kind, presumably not the kind that would not welcome them. Lives (5590)(psuche from psucho = to breathe, blow) refers to the vital force which animates the body and shows itself in breathing, the human soul. Jesus came to same our souls from eternal destruction and this is why He had set His face toward Jerusalem and the Cross. Went on (4198)(poreuomai) means primarily to go, journey, travel, proceed. To move from one place to another. Literally Poreuomai means to go from one place to another and thus to travel or journey (Lk 13:33). J C
