“So, to be called a ‘Christian’ in Jesus’s day was most likely to be a Jewish believer in the Messiah who now willingly and devotedly served the Master who bought them with his own blood (2 Pet. 1:18–19). As the ‘good news’ spread, Gentiles too began to fill the Church, which, from the beginning, was God’s plan of salvation ‘to the Jew first and also to the Greek’ (Rom. 1:16).” (Page 46)
“Luke, on the other hand, focuses not so much on the significance of the one sheep, but rather on its ‘lostness” (Page 177)
“Jesus is saying that God’s children should be as wise and diligent when it comes to managing the spiritual affairs of life as this crooked steward was in managing his temporal affairs.” (Pages 184–185)
“The old law was given by God (through Moses) on Mount Sinai. The new law is given also by God—not through another, but by himself—and also on a mount, the mount of ‘blessing.’” (Page 90)
“Next to each phrase of the Benedictus below is an Old Testament verse that very possibly filled Zechariah’s heart and sprang forth from his lips.” (Page 47)
