Of Zaccheus the Publican. The Parable of the Talents. Jesus entereth Jerusalem, and goeth immediately to the Temple.

Luke 19:1 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

I pause over this verse, short as it is, to remark how much in point of doctrine is contained in it. Jesus entered into Jericho, and passed through it. We read of nothing done in it by the Lord in a way of grace. Were there none of the Lord's family here? Time was when a precious jewel of Christ's crown was found in it. But there is nothing said now! is not this loudly preaching distinguishing grace? I beg the Reader to turn to those scriptures, Joshua 2:1, and Joshua 6:1. (1 Kings 16:34; Hebrews 11:31)
