Two at Work

Two will be grinding in the same place; one will be taken, and the other left.

Luke 17:35

Here again we do not have the gender in the Greek. The emphasis here is not on who is grinding, but the fact that these individuals are workng together and yet will be divided up.

In this passage, the one ‘taken’ may actually be the one rescued rather than the other way around. The way we translate to English the one taken seems to tbe the one in jeopardy, but that is not clearly the case.

Heavenly Father, thank You so much for You glorious blessings! You do so much in our lives every day to help us in this present broken world, and we take it for granted. Oh Father! Open our eyes to how much we depend upon You for every little thing! You alone know just how wonderfful Your plans are. If we could but see this world as it would be without sin, our habitual incredulity would die on the spot. Thank You for the amazing and wonderful fullness of Your Divinity revealed in Christ. It is a constant wonder to have Him in our lives. In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
