◄ Luke 10 Devotional Commentary ►

Luke 10:1

Jesus sent a group of 70 disciples (some manuscripts say 72) as heralds along the route that He was to take from Caesarea Philippi on His journey to Jerusalem. Their mission was to alert the people in the various cities and towns along the way, to the wonderful news that the kingdom of God was very near, and that Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews, was soon to pass that way.

It was a very similar commission to the one that read more...

Luke 10:16

The Lord Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God. He is the Word of God Who became flesh. He is incarnate Deity Who came down from heaven to dwell among the children of men.

Luke 10:27

"Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" was a legitimate question that this man, who was an expert in the Mosaic Law asked the Lord Jesus. The Lord did not answer directly but responded with a counter-question: "What is written in the law?" He asked him, "and how do you read it?"

Oh, his quick reply came directly from perfect Law of Moses and with keen enthusiasm this clever lawyer was read more...

Luke 10:42

The Lord Jesus reminds us that without Him, we can do nothing. Our dependence upon His person and His provision is what He is seeking from all His children, if we are to grow in grace and produce good fruit to His praise and glory. One of the biggest dangers in our spiritual walk is to render service to Him without receiving from Him the sufficient strength to carry out the task.
