Overview

This ten-volume set of commentaries is written in everyday English. Dr. Adams, using an everyman style, explains and applies biblical truths in the clear, understandable way that typifies his writings. He does not try to duplicate the standard, more technical commentaries but supplements them with the implications of the text for God-honoring counseling and Christian living. This resource includes the commentary on the Gospel of Luke.

Top Highlights

“Not only does the placing of this story here in juxtaposition to the previous discussion show that though difficult for a rich man to be saved, it is possible, but it shows how this may take place. Zacchaeus not only went to great effort to come into contact with Jesus, climbing the tree, but when converted, he gave freely of his riches to the poor in restitution for his past misdeeds. Divinely-wrought faith and salvation radically changed the man.” (Page 172)

“He was no longer to be counted a member of the covenant community.” (Page 173)

“From the beginning, it was clear that Jesus had come to die not for Jews alone, but for His own out of all tongues and peoples and languages and nations. That the announcement came to lowly shepherds also makes it clear that He would become a Savior of people from all classes as well. There is no counselee, therefore, who may plead that his status is too lowly for him to achieve what God commands of him. Keep that fact in mind. It is amazing what excuses counselees invent to try to escape their responsibilities!” (Page 21)

“The expression blamelessly does not mean that they were perfect (sinless), but that when they sinned, they carefully followed the Old Testament method for dealing with sins.” (Page 4)

“God’s true commands never cause such a problem; when followed correctly, they always honor God and bless people” (Page 133)
