Luke 12:24
Share
Overview - Luke 12 | |
1 | Christ preaches to his apostles to avoid hypocrisy, and fearfulness in publishing his doctrine; |
13 | warns the people to beware of covetousness, by the parable of the rich man who set up greater barns. |
22 | We must not be over careful of earthly things, |
31 | but seek the kingdom of God; |
33 | give alms; |
35 | be ready at a knock to open to our Lord whensoever he comes. |
41 | Christ's ministers are to see to their charges, |
49 | and look for persecution. |
54 | The people must take this time of grace; |
57 | because it is a fearful thing to die without reconciliation. |

Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

- The raven is a species of the corvus, or crow tribe, of the order Picae, known by its large size, its plumage being of a bluish black, and tail roundish at the end. It was probably selected by our Lord as being unclean.
