Luke 19:9

And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM (AND THIS ALSO BEFORE ALL, AND FOR THE INFORMATION OF ALL), THIS DAY IS SALVATION COME TO THIS HOUSE. Memorable saying! Salvation has already come, but it is not a day nor an hour old. The word "to this house" was probably designed to meet the taunt, 'He is gone to lodge at a sinner's house.' The house, says Jesus, is no longer a sinner's house polluted and polluting: ''Tis now a saved house, all meet for the reception of Him who came to save.' What a precious idea is salvation to a house, expressing the new air that would henceforth breathe in it, and the new impulses from its head which would reach its members. FORSOMUCH AS HE ALSO, [ kathoti (G2530) kai ...

9._Today is salvation come to this house. _Christ, bearing testimony to Zaccheus, declares that his professions were not hypocritical. And yet he does not ascribe to the good works of Zaccheus the cause of _salvation; _but, as that conversion was an undoubted pledge of the divine adoption, he justly concludes from it that _this house _is a possessor of _salvation _Such, to is the import of the words for, since Zaccheus is one of the _children of Abraham_, he argues that his _house _is saved. In order that any man may be reckoned among the _children of Abraham_, it is necessary for him to imitate _Abraham’s _faith; nay, Scripture expressly bestows on faith this commendation, that it distinguishes the genuine _children of Abraham _from strangers. Let us therefore know that in Zaccheus faith is chiefly commended, on account of which his good works were acceptable to God. Nor is there reason...

1-10 Those who sincerely desire a sight of Christ, like Zaccheus, will break through opposition, and take pains to see him. Christ invited himself to Zaccheus' house. Wherever Christ comes he opens the heart, and inclines it to receive him. He that has a mind to know Christ, shall be known of him. Those whom Christ calls, must humble themselves, and come down. We may well receive him joyfully, who brings all good with him. Zaccheus gave proofs publicly that he was become a true convert. He does not look to be justified by his works, as the Pharisee; but by his good works he will, through the grace of God, show the sincerity of his faith and repentance. Zaccheus is declared to be a happy man, now he is turned from sin to God. Now that he is saved from his sins, from the guilt of them, from the power of them, all the benefits of salvation are his. Christ is come to his house, and where Ch...

Verse Luke 19:9. _JESUS SAID UNTO HIM_] Bishop PEARCE observes: "Probably Luke wrote αυτους, not αυτον, _said unto them_, i.e. to those who had before called Zaccheus a _sinner_; (Luke 19:7); for Jesus here speaks of Zaccheus in the third person, _he also is a son of _ _Abraham_, and therefore he was not then speaking to _him_." This conjecture of this respectable prelate is supported by the margin of the later _Syriac_, and by every copy of the _Itala_ but _two_. _TO THIS HOUSE_] τω οικω τουτω, _To this very house_ or _family_. As if he had said: "If he be a _sinner_, he stands in the greater need of _salvation_, and _the Son of man is come to seek and save_ _what was lost_,...

SALVATION IS COME TO THIS HOUSE - This family. They have this day received the blessings of the gospel, and become interested in the Messiah’s kingdom. Salvation “commences” when people truly receive Christ and their sins are pardoned; it is “completed” when the soul is sanctified and received up into heaven. FORASMUCH - Because. For he has given “evidence” that he is a new man, and is disposed to forsake his sins and receive the gospel. THE SON OF ABRAHAM - Hitherto, although a Jew, yet he has been a sinner, and a great sinner. He was not worthy to be called a son of Abraham. Now, by repentance, and by receiving the Christ whose day Abraham saw and was glad John 8:56, he has shown himself to be worthy to be called his son. Abraham was an example of distinguished piety; the father o

EXPOSITION LUKE 19:1 _Jesus lodges in the house of Zacchaeus, _"_the_ _chief among the publicans_"_ at Jericho. _This episode, which took place at Jericho just before the Lord's entry into Jerusalem the last time, is peculiar to this Gospel. That the source was Hebrew (Aramaic) is clear from the wording of the narration. Some brief Hebrew (Aramaic) memoir was given to St. Luke, whence he derived his information of this most interesting and instructive incident of the last journey of the Master. LUKE 19:1, LUKE 19:2 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho. And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus

AND JESUS SAID UNTO HIM,.... The Persic version reads, "Jesus said to the multitude, and to his disciples"; to which well enough agree the following words: THIS DAY IS SALVATION COME TO THIS HOUSE: to the master of it, and it may be to others in it; the Arabic version reads, "to the inhabitants of this house". The Persic version reads, "great salvation"; by which may be meant, the Gospel, as in Hebrews 2:3 so called, because it brings the account of salvation by Christ, which is not discoverable by the light of nature, nor made known by the law of Moses; but the Gospel publishes and proclaims it; the ministers of it show unto men the way of salvation, and direct them, and encourage to go to Christ for it; likewise the Gospel is the means of bringing near this salvation, and of applying it to them; and when it comes with the demonstration of the Spirit, it is the power of God

Luke 19:1. _And Jesus entered_ That is, he entered at one end of the town, Luke 19:1. _And passed through Jericho._ And so came out at the other end of it. Luke 19:2. _And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich._ It was an important station for the collection of customs; there was a good deal of produce at Jericho upon which there was a tax, so Zacchaeus had a good post: he was rich. Luke 19:3. And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature. And he ran before, and

CHAPTER 19 CHAPTER 19:1-27 _ 1. The Salvation of Zacchaeus. (Luke 19:1)_ 2. The Parable of the Ten Pounds. (Luke 19:11 .) Luke 19:1 When He drew near to Jericho the Lord healed the blind beggar. The reader will find hints on the meaning of this miracle in the annotations of the Gospel of Mark. (Mark 10:46 .) The story of Zacchaeus is not found in the other Synoptics. The Lord is now in Jericho. Zacchaeus (meaning: clean) was the chief tax-gatherer and a rich man. “He sought to see Jesus”; his desire and faith overcame all hindrances which were in his way. The rich man climbing into a sycamore tree must have brough
