And it was the same in the days of Lot; they ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built Luke 17:28 Just like the days of Noah, the days of Lot were carefree. They did not expect the coming judgement. They were oblivious to any signs of coming danger. And the judgement…

They ate, they drank, they married, they were given in marriage, until the day came that Noah went into the ark, and the cataclysmic flood came and destroyed all of them. Luke 17:27 In other words, their lives proceeded relatively normally right up to the minute that catastrophe struck. This world will march along thinking…

And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man. Luke 17:26 Jesus is speaking here of His current visitation. Just like the world in Noah’s time, the world in the days of Christ largely ignored this Preacher of Righteousness. Heavenly Father, thank…

First, however, it is necessary for Him to suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. Luke 17:25 Jesus had to do what He did. This verse is one of several that show us the plan concerning the first and second coming. All of history is impacted by Christ since His work on the…

Just as the lightning which flashes out of the one place under heaven into another place under heaven glows, like that will be the the Son of Man in His day. Luke 17:24 The Lord Jesus came in humility to this world. His humility has gone nowhere. He retains it. His submission to the Father…

And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’. Do not go after them, do not pursue them. Luke 17:23 All through history, even in the time of Christ, there have been false messiahs. Jesus warns us ahead of time. Heavenly Father, thank You for Your guidance in life. It is so good…

Then He said to the disciples, ‘The day comes when you will want to see one of the days of the Son of Man, look and you will not see.’ Luke 17:22 Jesus has ascended. We do not see Him in His Person right now. He is present through the Spirit and endwells each of…

‘they will not say ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’, for ‘Look!’, the Kingdom of God is among you.’ Luke 17:21 There was no reason to be looking for the Kingdom, it had already arrived. As Jesus said in other places, those who did His will and the will of the Father were His family. As…

When He was asked by the Pharisees, ‘When comes the Kingdom of God?’ He responded to them and said, ‘The Kingdom of God does not come as an event that will be noticed;’ Luke 17:20 The Pharisees had not noticed the prophesies already fulfilled in Christ. Their Lord had come to them and they were,…

And said to him, “Rise, go your way. Your faith has saved you.” Luke 17:19 Two important things are shared here, and we must not miss them. First, Jesus indicates this Samaritan can go where he needs to next. He does not have to make his way to the priests, who would likely reject him.…
