A Great Love and a Great Lesson
Dean Goulburn. Luke 2:50-51 And they understood not the saying which he spoke to them.… A great love, inasmuch as He yielded this submission in our nature for our sakes; and we are freely welcome to all the benefits of it. A great lesson; for, if submission were the law of His life, how much more fitting is it that it should be the law of ours I Oh, that we may embrace the love I Oh, that we may learn the lesson! In doing both these things the Christian life consists. (Dean Goulburn.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. WEB: They didn't understand the saying which he spoke to them.
