Luke Chapter 12
{Verses
1-5: Fear 'The Creator', Not 'The Created'}
For
this reason {anti}
And
what you have whispered/'said in the ear'
12:4-5``
"But I {Jesus} tell you, My friends
Fear
the one who, 'after the killing {of you}'/'after {your} death' . . .
{Illustration}
7~~
Indeed {alla}, Do not fear! {an order} You are of more value/importance than many sparrows."
12:8-9``
"But I {Jesus} am saying to you, {Note: Homologeo is the verb used in I John 1:9 it does not mean an emotional confession. It means an unemotional, logical, expression of the facts. We are to give the 'good news' about Jesus to the unbelieving world in a professional 'here are the facts' type manner. This is the same as when confessing our sins to God - state the facts and 'forget about them' - God forgives your sins and forgets, if He does how can you presume not to?}
12:10``And
everyone who speaks a word
But
the person who blasphemes {blasphemeo} against the Holy Spirit
12:11-12``
Now when they may bring you {His students/disciples}
{The
Parable of the Rich Landowner}
12:14``
But He {Jesus} said to him,
12:15``
Then He {Jesus} said to them
{Note:
Happiness does not come from the material things that one owns.
Capacity for all types of happiness come from the Tree of Life. Bible
doctrine in your soul is the Tree of Life today. When you accumulate
and use divine viewpoint, you LEARN how to have capacity for all
categories of happiness - love, family, wealth, sexual, social,
power, fame etc. But without the capacity, as Solomon
12:16``He
{Jesus} then told them a parable, saying,
12:18``
Then he said, And there I will store all my grain and my goods.'
12:19``
And I will say to myself {psuche},
12:20``
But God said to him,
'Your
time for living is over'. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'
12:21``
So it is with the one {Note: The riches in the soul are the only riches that are real in the only opinion that matters - God's! Those are the riches you can take with you to heaven. That is 'bible doctrine'/'divine viewpoint' in the soul. Next, if you permit Him to generate divine good through your life (by applying His divine viewpoint to your life's experiences), it is His thinking and He receives the credit/glory. There will be 'gold, silver, and precious metals' awarded in eternity future for divine good you permit Him to generate through you in time.}
{Exhortation
Not to Worry}
12:23``
For the soul/life . . . keeps on being more than food, 12:24`` Consider the ravens {an order}. They absolutely do not {ouk} sow nor reap. They have absolutely no {ouk} storeroom or barn. Yet God feeds them. How much more valuable/important are you than the birds?
12:25``
And which of you . . . by worrying . . . {Note: In a second source, the ending phrase was said to be 'to add an hour to the length of his life'. Not positive which ending phrase was in the original manuscript at this time, but believe it is correct as translated above.}
12:26``If
{ei} - and it is true -
12:27``
Consider how the lilies grow;
But
I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory/splendor {doxa}
12:28``If
{ei} - and it is true -
O
you of little faith/doctrine
12:29``So
'do not be overly concerned about what you will eat'
12:30``For
all the nations of the world pursue these things,
12:31``
'But rather'/Instead,
12:32
"Do not be afraid {an order}, little 'flock of sheep' {poimnion},
12:33``
Sell your possessions {an order}
Provide
yourselves money bags that do not wear out . . .
A
treasure in heaven that never decreases . . .
12:34``
For where your treasure is . . . {Note: This section is one of emphasis. Do you 'worship the details of life' or do you 'worship God'. If you believe it means you must sell all that you have and give to the poor, do so. But if you understand that money and 'things' (even our wonderful families) are nothing compared to all that God is, then you are on your way to spiritual maturity. It is where is your EMPHASIS. God first, then all the blessings He provides to you . . . a far far second, etc.} ************************************************** Joshua_Sozo and Syndein are the Trademarks of Syndein a California DBA of Kenneth Sidley & Associates, Inc., a California Corporation.
