📖🕯 Holy Bible - Luke 18 with Matthew Henry Commentary at the end.

📖 This chapter is about: The parable of the importunate widow, The Pharisee and the publican, Children brought to Christ, The ruler hindered by his riches, Christ foreshadows his death, A blind man restored to sight.

🕯 How does this apply today?: "The publican's address to God was full of humility, and of repentance for sin, and desire toward God. His prayer was short, but to the purpose; God be merciful to me a sinner....He owned himself a sinner by nature, by practice, guilty before God. He had no dependence but upon the mercy of God; upon that alone he relied. And God's glory is to resist the proud, and give grace to the humble. Justification is of God in Christ; therefore the self-condemned, and not the self-righteous, are justified before God." ~ Matthew Henry

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." ~ 1 John 1:9 (NIV)

📖 About the book: The Gospel of Luke tells of the origins, birth, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of The Lord Jesus Christ. This evangelist is generally supposed to have been a physician, and a companion of the apostle Paul. The style of his writings, and his acquaintance with the Jewish rites and usages, sufficiently show that he was a Jew, while his knowledge of the Greek language and his name, speak his Gentile origin. He is first mentioned, Acts 16:10 and 11, as with Paul at Troas, whence he attended him to Jerusalem, and was with him in his voyage, and in his imprisonment at Rome. This Gospel appears to be designed to supersede many defective and unauthentic narratives in circulation, and to give a genuine and inspired account of the life, miracles, and doctrines of our Lord, learned from those who heard and witnessed his discourses and miracles.
