New (re-newed) wineskins
I thought that this was neat ....
Luke 5:38. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved .
The word "new" mentioned twice in that verse is actually 2 different ones. First "new"(neos)= brand new, the second "new" (kainos)= renewed, made fresh,of a new kind. Here is what I thought was neat....They use to "renew" old wine skins by soaking them in water so that they would regain their elasticity and be useful to hold the new wine. There is a lot of neat applications that can come out of that when you think of soaking our lives in the Word so that we can be used.

Sin of Omission
v.49 But he that heareth, and
doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon
the earth; against which the stream did beat vehemently, and immediately
it fell; and the ruin of that house was great.

Don't say "Hi" alone the way?
v.4 "Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no man by the way".
The custom often to "greet" was an empty formal drawn out greeting.
Don't get involved in formal meaningless greetings that will slow you down, or change your direction.
Ephesians 5:15-17
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

satan got too caught up into ministry
Read the context around Luke 10:18 He[Jesus] replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.[Paraphrase] Be careful, I saw satan fall from heaven because of his pride, he got so caught up in ministry with the wrong perspective. He got to a place where he was no longer a servant and wanted others to serve him.
The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25-37 [ESV]25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” 26 He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” 27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”
29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two denarii[a] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”
Q. What shall I do to inherit eternal life?
A. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.
Q. Who is my neighbor?
A. The one who showed him mercy.
Love Your Neighbor as Yourself
Leviticus 19:9-17
9 “When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, neither shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. 10 And you shall not strip your vineyard bare, neither shall you gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the Lord your God.
11 “You shall not steal; you shall not deal falsely; you shall not lie to one another. 12 You shall not swear by my name falsely, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.
13 “You shall not oppress your neighbor or rob him. The wages of a hired worker shall not remain with you all night until the morning. 14 You shall not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block before the blind, but you shall fear your God: I am the Lord.
15 “You shall do no injustice in court. You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor. 16 You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not stand up against the life[a] of your neighbor: I am the Lord.
17 “You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason frankly with your neighbor, lest you incur sin because of him. 18 You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
This is just a thought to consider, I know it does not directly imply this here in the Luke 10 passage. But, I find the implication of this interesting.
If you look at Exodus 21:18,19
18 “When men quarrel and one strikes the other with a stone or with his fist and the man does not die but takes to his bed, 19 then if the man rises again and walks outdoors with his staff, he who struck him shall be clear; only he shall pay for the loss of his time, and shall have him thoroughly healed.
and then look again at the passage in Luke 10:33-35 on the Samaritan..... It as if he identified himself as the perpetrator took upon himself the task of completing what the man could not do for himself.
Reminds me of our condition: Jesus took on our sin that had left us dead on the side of the road, payed the full price for us to be healed/made alive in Him.

Eagles / Vultures gather???
An interesting note: last verse in Luke 17:37 (also in Matthew 24:28) there is a difference between KJV and NIV. KJV talks about a body is.....eagles gather. NIV talks about a dead body.....vultures gather???
Eagles are loners, aren't they. Anyway it just caught my attention, something to look into.
Is it a reference to an invasion of Israel by foreign armies? What countries use an Eagle as their emblem? Interesting that the Eagle emblem has been used by several countries that have been against Israel in the past.
