What is the meaning of Luke 19:10? For The tiny connective launches us back into the scene with Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-9). Jesus has just said, “Today salvation has come to this house,” and now He gives the reason. • Luke 19:9 supplies the immediate context, tying the “for” to the arrival of salvation. • Luke 5:31-32 echoes the same logic: the Great Physician goes where the sick are. • John 12:27-28 shows Jesus explaining His impending death with another “for,” grounding every act in His saving purpose. The Son of Man Jesus chooses a title that stresses both His humanity and His messianic authority. • Daniel 7:13-14 pictures “One like a son of man” receiving everlasting dominion—Jesus openly identifies Himself with that prophecy. • Mark 10:45 parallels Luke 19:10, showing that the “Son of Man” came “to give His life as a ransom for many.” • Matthew 26:64 reveals the same figure returning in glory, reminding us that the humble Savior is also the coming Judge. Came This word points to the Incarnation—God stepping into history. • John 1:14: “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.” • Galatians 4:4-5: God sent His Son “born of a woman…to redeem.” • Philippians 2:6-8 traces the downward journey from heaven’s throne to the cross, underlining that Jesus’ coming was deliberate, sacrificial, and timed. To seek Before anyone searches for God, God is already searching for them. • Luke 15:4—lost sheep; Luke 15:8—lost coin; Luke 15:20—lost son: three portraits of relentless pursuit. • Genesis 3:9 shows the pattern from Eden onward: “Where are you?” God initiates. • Revelation 3:20 keeps the offer open: Jesus stands at the door and knocks. And to save Finding is not the finish line; rescue is. • John 3:16-17 declares that the Son was sent “that the world might be saved through Him.” • 1 Timothy 1:15 distills the gospel: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” • Acts 4:12 reminds us that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus Christ. The lost The word is blunt—people are spiritually dead apart from Christ. • Luke 15:24 frames lostness as death: “This son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.” • Ephesians 2:1 describes every believer’s past: “You were dead in your trespasses and sins.” • Romans 5:8 shows how far God goes for the lost: “While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” summary Luke 19:10 packs the entire mission of Jesus into one sentence. The royal yet humble “Son of Man” entered our world on purpose—to track down wandering people and bring them safely home through His own saving work. Every healing, every teaching, every step toward the cross lines up under that grand objective: seeking and saving the lost. |
