Luke 17:17 Where Are the Nine?

Luke 17:17 (KJV)
And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

  • Ten men were in great need

  • Ten men came to Jesus

  • Ten men cried out for mercy

  • Ten men were healed

  • Ten men went their way

One man, just one, returned to give thanks.

It is essential to mark that, while Jesus received the praise of the one, He made a note of the nine.

I might question if even one out of ten who benefit from Christ become followers. Most men, at least in the Western world, occasionally cry out for God’s mercy. Everyone who does so (even those who do not) receives that mercy.

The rare exception is that one, having benefited from God’s goodness, returns to give thanks and becomes a faithful follower.

I wonder how many in churches are faithfully there, waiting to receive God’s favor, but then go their ways during the week to live to disregard our Father’s will?

Where are the nine?

Perhaps they are saved. Perhaps they will be gathered in eternity. But where are they now? What part are they playing in an authentic life of faith and obedience to God?

Luke 17:17 Where Are the Nine?

2 Kings 15:3-4 Someone, Please, Remove the High Places

2 Kings 15:3-4 (KJV)
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done;
Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.

Would someone please remove the high places?

I am thankful for the faithfulness of God In preserving His promise to David that one from his seed would always sit on the throne in Jerusalem. It’s a testimony to the faithfulness of God and not of men. That’s especially true because it finds its fulfillment ultimately in Jesus Christ.

I am also thankful that, through the history of Judah, there were some very good kings. Uzziah Jehoshaphat, Josiah, and, in the era I am currently reading, there was Amaziah and then Azariah. “did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done; Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and burnt incense still on the high places.”

The Bible says that they did right in the sight of the Lord. Praise the Lord! But the Bible also says, “Save that the high places were not removed.” 

What were all the reasons the high places remained we might only be able to speculate.

Perhaps it never occurred to them they were a problem
When a culture is used to a thing, even those who long to live for God and not the culture can have a hard time seeing the trouble.

Perhaps it was just not a priority in the reign of the king
With as many pressures as leadership presents, they might have felt like leading people to do right in the sight of the Lord was enough of a battle they should be thankful they could do that.

Perhaps it was a way to appease the people
They did what was right in the sight of the Lord, but they may have thought they would lose the following of the people if they took from them what they really loved.

Whatever the reason, this was a recurring problem. Seldom did the kings ever remove those high places.

And God noticed.

God blessed them and acknowledged what they did right, but He also remembered what they did wrong, or rather, what they didn’t do right. One might argue it was not wrong to leave the high places; it was just that they did not take the right thing to the fullest end.

This, I believe, is a vivid portrait of modern Christianity. We have a world filled with professing believers who are proud to say they do what is right in the sight of the Lord. The trouble is that very few of them carry their faith to the fullest end. We obey the Lord but do not follow Him to the extreme. I would even go so far as to say most Christians would consider extreme Christianity offensive and maybe dangerous.

That was Israel’s complaint with Jesus. His brand of faith was extreme. He preached that they needed to remove the “high places” of religion and tradition and return to a pure walk with God. The practice of religion had replaced faith in God. Jesus dangerously attacked the established practices of the Pharisees, Sadducees, Scribes, and lawyers.

  • Those who trusted Christ were born again.
  • Those who did not hung Him on the Cross

What we need today is not a popular Christianity but an absolute Christianity. We need a kind of faith that refuses to walk the safe line between religion and faith. We need someone to answer Jesus’ call to forsake all and follow Him.

2 Kings 15:3-4 Someone, Please, Remove the High Places

2 Kings 13:18 Smash Your Arrows

2 Kings 13:18 (KJV)
And he said, Take the arrows. And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, Smite upon the ground. And he smote thrice, and stayed.

The setting of this event is essential for the interpretation. By now old, and on his deathbed, Elisha had just instructed the king to shoot an arrow out the window. When the king had done it, Elisha explained that this represented “the arrow of the Lord’s deliverance from Syria.” The next instruction was to take the arrows and “smite them upon the ground.” The arrows represented God’s deliverance from Syria. It should not have been a massive leap from that to view smiting them upon the ground to represent the battle with Syria.

Whoever wants to just barely win a battle?

The passionless response of the king signified his heart.

He did not fully believe the prophet
Though he had come to visit him when he was sick, it was out of kindness and not out of respect. Many people are friendly with the pastor, but wrestle with the idea that he speaks to them for God. Of course, they love him, and they appreciate him. But it’s because he serves them and not because of his service to God.

Or else he did not fully trust God
This was the Lord’s deliverance. But the king of Israel was, at best, a half-hearted believer in God. We know his reign was an evil one. He had no faith in God’s deliverance.

Christians often struggle in these same areas. We want to be on friendly terms with the man of God and with the concept of God. We want to hope in God’s deliverance.[1] But in truth, we put little faith in God as our victor. Our faith is in our resources. Therefore, we obey what the Bible teaches, but only to a degree. We always save enough of ourselves to manage without God.

In truth, the king should have smitten those arrows until they broke to pieces. They would not give him victory. 

His only true hope was in God.

[1] As a means to “hedge our bet,” just in case He can help.

2 Kings 13:18 Smash Your Arrows

2 Kings 12:4 An Opportunity to Give More

2 Kings 12:4 (KJV)
And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the LORD, even the money of every one that passeth the account, the money that every man is set at, and all the money that cometh into any man’s heart to bring into the house of the LORD,

Notice that the passage describes three distinct offerings:

The money of every one that passeth the account
The Bible students say this is the sheckle offering that everyone who came to the temple was to give.

The money that everyone is set at
This is the money a person had predetermined to give, say in a vow to the Lord.

The money that cometh into any man’s heart
This was a love gift given above that.

It seems to me that the first could correspond to the tithe. While the dollar amount differs for each of us, the tithe is a fixed number – ten percent. But I’ve met only a few Christians that give only the tithe. Almost all of us eventually come to where our devotion to the house of God leads us to give over the tithe. Above that, many Christians have an even greater heart for the work of God and give to things such as Faith Promise Missions. This money doesn’t directly serve the local church but goes out to missionaries around the globe.

I have observed that those who have a heart for God never quibble about whether the tithe is just for Old Testament people. They’re always looking for opportunities to give more and more to the things that belong to God.

2 Kings 12:4 An Opportunity to Give More

Luke 14:34 Seeking the Few

Luke 14:34 (KJV)
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?

The passage begins with a multitude following Christ. But, in this ominous text, we find Jesus pairing down the crowd and distinguishing between the multitudes and the disciple. In fact, Jesus made the standard of discipleship so strict that most professing followers of Christ could not make the grade.

  • Jesus said He must be of greater value than family or “ye cannot be my disciple.”
  • Jesus said we must bear his cross or “ye cannot be my disciple.”
  • Jesus said we must finish our course or “ye cannot be my disciple.”
  • Jesus said we must battle to victory or “ye cannot be my disciple.”
  • Jesus said we must forsake all when we follow Him or “ye cannot be my disciple.”

I fear modern American Christianity goes for the multitudes, not the disciples. Even when we claim to have discipleship classes, so much of it is merely meant to help the multitudes assimilate. The mark of discipleship is negative. It is a program of exclusion. Only the most ardent and devoted will attain to discipleship. 

Without absolute sacrifice of selfish want, “ye cannot be [Christ’s] disciple.”[1]

  • You can be saved
  • You can be a church member
  • You can teach a Sunday school class
  • You can be a deacon
  • You can even be a preacher

But unless you forsake all you have and follow Christ exclusively, you’re fit for little good but to be cast out.[2]

Certainly, you are no disciple.

[1] The question then is not whether a person can be saved and still worldly. I think that might be possible. But no one can be a disciple of Christ and still be worldly. In fact, no one can be a disciple of Christ and care for the world. Biblical discipleship demands meticulous, extreme obedience to the Word of God. This, in turn, requires earnest, diligent study of God’s Word. It is not a matter of carefully obeying what a church or preacher teaches, but adamantly obeying the Word of God so far as we understand it and working hard to see that we understand it.

[2] I view Revelation 3:15-16 as a parallel passage.
Revelation 3:15-16 (KJV)
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.)

Luke 14:34 Seeking the Few

Luke 13:34 Free To Flee God

Luke 13:34 (KJV)
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!

“I would; ye wouldn’t“

The setting is toward the Jews, represented by their chief city, Jerusalem. The history of the people of God is replete with accounts of God wooing them to Himself. Consider Jeremiah, begging them to repent and surrender to Nebuchadnezzar. Prophets repeatedly called on them[1]  to put away idols and trust Him. They killed those prophets too often.

I notice a contrast between God and the people of Jerusalem that indicates a truth concerning our God.

God would have gathered them
He wanted to do it. It was His desire. It was His longing.

They would not be gathered
Though He behaved like a hen gathering her chicks and as a shepherd gathering His flock, they instead scattered.

God was perfectly capable of gathering them against their will. There are plenty of Biblical instances where this is demonstrated. But while God is able, He would not do it against their will. 

A fleeing chick is free to flee.

Even so, God would save any and every soul. He would have all to come to repentance. He is not willing that any should perish. But He only gathers to Himself those who come of their own free will.

The Calvinists hate this doctrine. 
He believes it diminishes the sovereign power of God. 

The religionists reject this doctrine. 
He is anxious to force his perception of godliness upon people. 

In truth, this is the only doctrine that may glorify God. 
He is capable but gracious. He is a Lord and a Father to those who come to Him. He is no despot or dictator. All who call upon and come to Him are immediately and unconditionally received. All who choose to flee His care are freely allowed to do so. 

And even those, should they in the future repent, are free to come under His saving wing.

Luke 13:34 Free To Flee God

Luke 12:5 I Believe Jesus

Luke 12:5 (KJV)
But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

I believe Jesus

  • I believe Jesus about heaven.
  • I believe Jesus about the resurrection
  • I believe Jesus about salvation
  • I believe Jesus about eternal matters

And

  • I believe Jesus about hell

Jesus said hell is a place where “the worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.”[1] Hell is a literal place of fire. Those who go there suffer the pains of death eternally.

Jesus also said hell is a place to fear.

Death is something to dread and to fear if, in death the soul is cast into hell. 

  • It is not annihilation
  • It is not eternal soul sleep
  • It is not the end of consciousness

Jesus came for the purpose of rescuing souls from hell. Jesus gave His life in agonizing death to pay the price of death for those bound to go to hell. Jesus rose from the grave and ever lives to make intercession[2] for those souls and to win for all who call upon Him and place in heaven and not hell.

Let religions make all the claims they please.

I believe Jesus.

[1] Mark 9:44-48 (KJV)
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

[2] Hebrews 7:25 (KJV)
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Luke 12:5 I Believe Jesus

2 Kings 5:10 When A Man of God Is Able To Do The Most Good

2 Kings 5:10 (KJV)
And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

Elisha was indeed a man of God.

He was willing to aid the King of Israel regardless of his evil standing before the Lord. He was willing to help Naaman the leper despite his position as a captain in Syria and the thief of a young Israeli girl. He judged Gehazi for his sin regardless of his being his personal servant.

  • Elisha reached out by a letter to the king of Israel
  • Elisha sent his servant to give a message to Naaman
  • Elisha refused payment from Naaman

Elisha was, may I say, passionless.

  • He held no animosity toward the king
  • He held no respect toward the captain
  • He held no lust toward wealth
  • He held no favor toward Gehazi

But 

  • He held great faith in and commitment toward God

A man of God is a man of God and not of men. And because of that, he is of the most good to all men.

2 Kings 5:10 When A Man of God Is Able To Do The Most Good

2 Kings 1:15 A Question of Control

2 Kings 1:15 (KJV)
And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.

God always intended that Elijah would go down to the king. God was not afraid of Ahaziah, nor should Elijah be.

Neither was it God’s intention that Elijah be a puppet of the king. Ahaziah was not in charge. Elijah was not in control. This was of God. Elijah served the LORD, not Ahaziah. One hundred men died to demonstrate this truth. The captains, and their men, were subjects of the wrong kingdom.

Captain number three understood this. He had a duty to perform, but he did it with appropriate respect.

A man of God does not have to call fire down from heaven to maintain his submission to the LORD. He may accomplish the same by simply ignoring the pressure of those who refuse his Master. No man of God is interested in being treated like an authority figure. But he is interested in reminding others who the Ultimate Authority is.

Of course, the man of God must be convinced his call is of God, or he might be tempted to assume authority. On the other hand, if he is truly a servant of God, he’ll have no trouble sorting out the difference.

As for those who approach him, a teachable spirit goes a long way toward allowing the man of God to minister rather than resist.

2 Kings 1:15 A Question of Control

Luke 9:5 Lose The Dirt

Luke 9:5 (KJV)
And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

Some interesting cultural connections might be made of shaking off the dust of the feet.

In his comments about the parallel passage in Matthew 10:14, Gill quotes several Jewish writers saying to the effect, “all dust which comes from the land of the Gentiles, is reckoned by us as the rottenness of a dead carcass.”

He gives the following possible messages shaking off the dust might mean:

  • To show that they did not come to them with worldly views, with any design to amass riches and wealth to themselves, for they would not so much as carry away with them the dust on their feet, but it was purely with a view to their welfare
  • To testify that they had been among them, and that that very dust they shook off their feet would rise up in judgment against them, and declare that the Gospel had been preached among them, and they had rejected it
  • To observe to them, that such was their wickedness, that even the dust of their country was infected thereby, and therefore they shook it off, as though it defiled them
  • By this action they signified that they would have nothing more to do with them (this is the application I think I am most used to hearing)
  • To say to them, and that they looked upon them as impure and unholy, as any Heathen city or country

I wonder if a better and more personal testimony is that of removing the burden of it from ourselves. 

  • We leave the experience behind. 
  • We bear no grudge or ill feelings. 
  • We do not allow the incident, however unpleasant, to influence our service for the Lord or passion for others to come to know Christ as we know Him. 

How easy it would be to injure the soul of another if we project upon them the ill effects of a previous bad experience in our ministry.
