Luke 7: 31-35

(Luke 7: 31-35)

And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?  They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.  For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.  The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!  But wisdom is justified of all her children.

This parable is linked to John the Baptist. In Isaiah 40:3, ``The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 』John the Baptist is the voice of a crying person. But in Malachi 3:1, ``Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. "" says about John the Baptist.

The Israelites all knew that Elijah would come before Christ. Elijah is John the Baptist. Jesus said so. John the Baptist came and cried out to the Israelites to repent. He said to produce the worthy fruit of repentance. The saying that the law and the prophets were until the days of John applies here. The gist of John the Baptist's cry is to repent, realize that he is a sinner in the law, and find Christ because God's judgment is imminent. The worthy fruit of repentance is the discovery of Christ.

This is "to bring the father's heart back to the children and those who oppose it to the wisdom of the righteous." This is what makes the road flat and prepares the way. The purpose of John the Baptist was born in this world was to be born for this work. If the Israelites obey the law well, they believe that they will become righteous, but they must repent. In that law, you must realize that you cannot escape from sin and turn around. It is a cry to find Christ and turn to Christ. Then it contains the message that Christ will come and give a way back to God.

Malachi 4:5-6 says, "Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children. to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. If Israel does not turn away, the Lord (Jesus) will strike Israel and warn. But Israel did not turn back. Jesus cursed the fig tree. They are A.D. It was destroyed by Rome in 1980.

Luke 1: 39-56

(Luke 1: 39-56) And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me grea...

Luke 1: 27-38

(Luke 1: 27-38) To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee:...

Luke 1: 1-26

(Luke 1: 1-26) Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed. There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years. And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his cour...
