luke 19:9 And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.


      9. Jesus said unto him--but also before all.
      This day, &c.--memorable saying! Salvation already come, but not a day old.
      to this house--so expressed probably to meet the taunt, "He is gone to be guest," &c. The house is no longer polluted; it is now fit to receive Me. But salvation to a house is an exceedingly precious idea, expressing the new air that would henceforth breathe in it, and the new impulses from its head which would reach its members (Ps 118:15; Ac 16:15, 16, 31).
      son of Abraham--He was that by birth, but here it means a partaker of his faith, being mentioned as the sufficient explanation of salvation having come to him.
