How preachers through history handled this text
40 public-domain excerpts on Luke 9, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“It is an unspeakable comfort that our Lord Jesus is God's Anointed; this signifies that he was both appointed to be the Messiah, and qualified for it. Jesus discourses concerning his own sufferings and death. And so far must his disciples be from thinking how to prevent his sufferings, that they must prepare for their own. We often meet with crosses in the way of duty; and though we must not pull them upon our own heads, yet, when they are laid for us, we must take them up, and carry them after Christ. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Luke 9:18–27 (Public Domain)
