Section 11

wickedness. Therefore, the Lord commands them to give as alms what they are coveting in their hearts so that all things may be clean to them.

In verse 42 the Lord continues, "But woe to you, Pharisees! Because you tithe the mint and the rue and every herb, and pass by the judg ment and the love of God. But these things you ought to do, and not leave those undone." Judg ment refers to justice, and the love of God refers to man's love toward God.

In the following verses the Lord continues re buking the Pharisees and also includes the law yers in His rebuke. He tells the Pharisees that they are like unseen tombs, and He rebukes the lawyers for burdening men with burdens hard to bear and not touching these burdens with one of their fingers.

TODAY'S JONAH AND SOLOMON

If we put together the four sections of Luke 11, we see a portrait of the Man-Savior with the highest standard of morality. We see a Person who prays Himself into God and remains in God to receive the Holy Spirit as His life supply. Be cause He is full of the Triune God, there is no room in Him for anything of the enemy. More over, He is filled with light, and He is genuine

and clean both inwardly and outwardly. Even tually, this One is today's Jonah, the One who passed through death and entered into resurrec tion, and today's Solomon, the One who speaks the wisdom of God (Luke 11:29-32). This wis dom includes the mysteries of the hidden things of God.

Chapter eleven of the Gospel of Luke includes a number of matters related to the Man-Savior's highest standard of morality. From this chapter we need to realize that Christ, through death and in resurrection, is now carrying out God's New Testament economy, which is the real jubilee.
