Read Luke 19 here (text coming …) or at Bible Gateway.
Luke 16:1-19:27 Chiastic Structure:
Consider the profound truth the Chiastic Structure proclaims. The one who recognizes his sin, repenting and turning away from it, cries out for mercy. He realizes that the justice of God calls forth His wrath on sin. But God so loves the world that He gave His only begotten Son (Joh 3:16), who suffered many things and was rejected by His generation, taking the wrath of God for sin on Himself. His death and resurrection opened the door so that the humble might enter the kingdom of God and find eternal life.
And faithfulness frames the message of the Narrative: those entrusted with the Father’s grace are to steward it faithfully until Messiah’s return.
