Transformation and Apostles's Rebuke: Death is Jesus Christ's Servant (Our Lord Jesus Christ Book 7)

Transformation and Apostles's Rebuke: Death is Jesus Christ's Servant (Our Lord Jesus Christ Book 7)

St. Luke Evangelist Doctor Luke

1.Herod desired to see our Lord Jesus Christ; and why did Herod not go and see him? Probably, because he thought it below him either to go to him or to send for him; he had enough of John Baptist, and cared not for having to do with any more such reproves of sin. He desired to see him, but we do not find that ever he did, till he saw him at his bar, and then he and his men of war set him at nought. Had he prosecuted his convictions now, and gone to see him, who knows but a happy change might have been wrought in him? But, delaying it now, his heart was hardened, and when he did see him he was as much prejudiced against him as any other.
2.Death is his servant, to heal the saints of all diseases. He heals spiritual maladies by his graces, by his comforts, and has for each what the case calls for; relief for every exigence. The plentiful provision our Lord Jesus Christ made for the multitude that attended him.
3.With five loaves of bread, and two fishes, he fed five thousand men. This narrative we had twice before, and shall meet with it again; it is the only miracle of our Savior’s that is recorded by all the four evangelists.
4."So we do,’’ saith Apostle St. Peter, "thanks be to our Master for it; we know that thou art our Lord Jesus Christ of God, the Anointed of God, the Messiah promised.’’ It is matter of unspeakable comfort to us that our Lord Jesus Christ is God’s anointed, for then he has unquestionable authority and ability for his undertaking; for his being anointed signifies his being both appointed to it and qualified for it.
5.We must accustom ourselves to all instances of self-denial and patience. This is the best preparative for martyrdom. We must live a life of self-denial, mortification, and contempt of the world; we must not indulge our ease and appetite, for then it will be hard to bear toil, and weariness, and want, for Christ. We are daily subject to affliction, and we must accommodate ourselves to it, and acquiesce in the will of God in it, and must learn to endure hardship.
6.If a man be himself cast away,—if he be damaged, —or if he be punished, si mulctetur—if he have a mulct put upon his soul by the righteous sentence of our Lord Jesus Christ, whose cause and interest he has treacherously deserted,—if it be adjudged a forfeiture of all his blessedness, and the forfeiture be taken, where is his gain? What is his hope?
7.The Father will judge the world by him, having committed all judgment to him; and therefore will publicly own him in the judgment as the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person. He shall come in the glory of the holy angels. They shall all attend him, and minister to him, and add every thing they can to the luster of his appearance.
8.We have the narrative of our Lord Jesus Christ’s transfiguration, which was designed for a specimen of that glory of his in which he will come to judge the world, of which he had lately been speaking, and, consequently, an encouragement to his disciples to suffer for him, and never to be ashamed of him.
9.Our Lord Jesus Christ himself must sue out the favors that were purposed for him, and promised to him: Ask of me, and I will give thee. And thus he intended to put an honor upon the duty of prayer, and to recommend it to us. It is a transfiguring, transforming duty; if our hearts be elevated and enlarged in it, so as in it to behold the glory of the Lord, we shall be changed into the same image from glory to glory. By prayer we fetch in the wisdom, grace, and joy, which make the face to shine.
10.How effectual the cure was, which our Lord Jesus Christ wrought upon this child. our Lord Jesus Christ can do that for us which his disciples cannot: Our Lord Jesus Christ rebuked the unclean spirit then when he raged most.
