Word
of God
Man
does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth from
the mouth of God
Matthew
4:4
The
Gospel According to Luke 4:32, 43
32
And they were astonied at his doctrine: for his word was with
authority.
43
But he said unto them, Surely I must also preach the kingdom of God
to other cities: for therefore am I sent.
Brethren:
At
the matter of it, as well as the manner in which it was delivered, it
being so different from the Scribes and Pharisees, they had been used
to, as he spake with great fervency, majesty, and authority, and not
with coldness and indifference, and dependence on the sense and
authority of others, as their teachers did; and besides, such power
went along with the word, that it reached their hearts; and as the
Persic version renders it, "he penetrated them with it";
and he also confirmed it by powerful operations, by miraculous works,
such as casting out devils, and healing diseases of which much
accounts are written.
Christ
signifies, that a principal part of his work lay in preaching the
things concerning the kingdom of God, the Gospel dispensation on
earth, the doctrines and ordinances of it, as well as the things
which relate to the kingdom of glory; as what is the saints meetness
for it, their regeneration, and their right unto it, which lies in
his righteousness: and that as he had preached these things at
Capernaum, there was a necessity upon him to preach them in other
cities of Galilee and Judea: for therefore am I sent; as he was by
his heavenly Father, and had himself also undertook and engaged to do
it.
