luke 12:32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom.

< Luke 12:31
Luke 12:33 >

      32. little flock, &c.--How sublime and touching a contrast between this tender and pitying appellation, "Little flock" (in the original a double diminutive, which in German can be expressed, but not in English)--and the "good pleasure" of the Father to give them the Kingdom; the one recalling the insignificance and helplessness of that then literal handful of disciples, the other holding up to their view the eternal love that encircled them, the everlasting arms that were underneath them, and the high inheritance awaiting them!--"the kingdom"; grand word; then why not "bread" (Lu 12:31 [BENGEL]). Well might He say, "Fear not!"

JFB.
