What is the meaning of Luke 21:15? For I will give you Jesus personally promises, “For I will give you…” (Luke 21:15). • The Lord Himself is the source; He does not outsource the help (John 14:26; Acts 1:8). • The pledge is unconditional—no fine-print, no performance clause—just as God assured Moses, “I will help you speak” (Exodus 4:12) and Jeremiah, “I have put My words in your mouth” (Jeremiah 1:9). • Because the promise comes from the risen Christ, it is as sure as His character (Hebrews 10:23). speech and wisdom Jesus supplies both the words and the discernment to use them. • “Speech” covers the right phrasing at the right moment (1 Corinthians 2:4-5; Matthew 10:19-20). • “Wisdom” covers the insight behind the words—He gives more than soundbites; He gives understanding (James 1:5; Colossians 1:9). • Stephen modeled this blend when “they could not stand up to his wisdom or the Spirit by whom he spoke” (Acts 6:10). that none of your adversaries Opposition is assumed, not optional (2 Timothy 3:12; John 15:18-20). • The promise is tailor-made for hostile settings—courtrooms, classrooms, boardrooms (Matthew 10:18). • “Adversaries” includes both human and spiritual foes (Ephesians 6:12), yet the source of the words is greater than either. will be able to resist Divinely given speech is spiritually disarming. • Truth empowered by the Spirit is irresistible in its force, even if it is rejected in willful unbelief (Acts 5:39; Isaiah 55:11). • God turns apparent weakness into overwhelming strength (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). or contradict. The wisdom Christ supplies is unassailable. • Adversaries may mock or persecute, but they have no factual or moral foothold to overturn God’s truth (Titus 1:9; 2 Corinthians 13:8). • The result parallels Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper.” summary Luke 21:15 guarantees that when believers face hostility for Christ’s sake, the risen Lord Himself will furnish the exact words and the accompanying wisdom, rendering every attack powerless to refute. Our confidence rests not in rhetorical skill but in the unbreakable promise of the One who speaks through us, ensuring that His truth stands firm and His gospel advances, no matter the opposition. |
