{"product_id":"2940012496911","title":"Jesus v. Jerusalem","description":"Most people don’t realize that many if not most of Jesus’ parables were intended not as general morality tales, but as particular pronouncements of coming judgment and change. Jesus was warning Jerusalem to repent and to accept its new King (Jesus) or else fall under ultimate condemnation of God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn fact, much of Jesus’ teaching in the Gospels pertains primarily to that pre-AD 70 crowd, and without reading it in this light, we misunderstand it. And when we misunderstand it, we misapply it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe section of Luke covered in this commentary requires this understanding. The parables Jesus tells during His final journey to Jerusalem (Luke 9:51–20:26, and beyond) almost all pertain to the rebellion, faithlessness, judgment, and coming destruction of Jerusalem, and the salvation of a tiny remnant of His elect people.","brand":"American Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47152508436720,"sku":"2940012496911","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012496911","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
