Lucas 6:24

24 »Pero ¡ay de ustedes los ricos,porque ya han recibido su consuelo!

Lucas 6:24 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 6:24

But woe unto you that are rich
Not in worldly riches and substance, for some of these have been, and are happy persons in a spiritual sense; and at most, it can only mean such, who trust in their riches, and place their, happiness in them; but it chiefly regards such, as are rich in their own opinion, and stand in need of nothing; who place their confidence in their own righteousness, and do not apply to Christ, in whom alone are durable riches and righteousness:

for ye have received your consolation;
which they take from their own works, and a very unstable and short lived one it is; for while they are crying Peace, Peace, to themselves, from their own services, sudden destruction comes upon them, and all their comforts vanish away: for there is no true solid comfort but in Christ, and in his righteousness; that administers consolation now, and lays a foundation for everlasting comfort hereafter.

Lucas 6:24 In-Context

22 Dichosos ustedes cuando los odien,cuando los discriminen,los insulten y los desprestigienpor causa del Hijo del hombre.

23 »Alégrense en aquel día y salten de gozo, pues miren que les espera una gran recompensa en el cielo. Dense cuenta de que los antepasados de esta gente trataron así a los profetas.

24 »Pero ¡ay de ustedes los ricos,porque ya han recibido su consuelo!

25 ¡Ay de ustedes los que ahora están saciados,porque sabrán lo que es pasar hambre!¡Ay de ustedes los que ahora ríen,porque sabrán lo que es derramar lágrimas!

26 ¡Ay de ustedes cuando todos los elogien!Dense cuenta de que los antepasados de esta gente trataron así a los falsos profetas.
