Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
His citizens - Or countrymen - the Jewish people, who professed to be subjects of the kingdom of God. Hated him - Despised him for the meanness of his birth, his crucifixion to the world, and for the holiness of his doctrine. Neither mortification nor holiness suits the dispositions of the carnal mind. Sent a message after him - As, in Luk 19:12, there is an allusion to a person's going to Rome, when elected to be ruler of a province or kingdom, to receive that dignity from the hand of the emperor, so it is here intimated that, after the person went to receive this dignity, some of the discontented citizens took the opportunity to send an embassy to the emperor, to prevent him from establishing the object of their hatred in the government. We will not have this man, etc. - The Jews rejected Jesus Christ, would not submit to his government, and, a short time after this, preferred even a murderer to him. Like cleaves to like. No wonder that those who murdered the Lord of glory should prefer a murderer, one of their own temper, to the Redeemer of their souls.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
his citizens--His proper subjects; meaning the Jews, who expressly repudiating our Lord's claims said, "We have no king but CÃ&brvbrsar" (Joh 19:15). In Christendom, these correspond to infidel rejecters of Christianity, as distinguished from professed Christians.
John Gill Bible Commentary
And it came to pass that when he was returned,.... Which return was either in power to Jerusalem, in the destruction of that city; or which will be in person to this earth, at the end of the world; and will be local and visible, and in great glory, attended with the holy angels, and with all the saints: the time is fixed and certain, though unknown, and will be sudden and unexpected; but will not be till after the Gospel has had a general spread all over the world, and the Jews are converted, and the fulness of the Gentiles brought in, and then will Christ come: having received the kingdom; not only having been set down at the right hand of God, and crowned with glory and honour, and received gifts for men, which he bestowed on them; and which proved him to be Lord and Christ; all which was done at his ascension, after which his kingdom came, or he returned in power and glory, to take vengeance on the Jews; but also having received the kingdom of glory for all his saints, and particularly having received the kingdom of priests, or all the elect of God, these being all called by grace, and gathered to him, as they will every one of them before his second coming; when this kingdom will be delivered to the Father complete and perfect; and this will a reckoning time, as follows: then he commanded those servants to be called, to whom he had given the money. The servants are the ministers of the word, who must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; and give an account of themselves to God, the Judge of all; and of their gifts and talents, and ministrations, and the souls under their care: the persons who are "commanded" to call them are the angels, and who shall be employed in gathering all the elect together; the thing that will be inquired about, and must be accounted for, is the "money" given them; that is, the Gospel they are intrusted with, and the gifts to preach it bestowed on them: the end of this summons is, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading; not but that Christ, who is the omniscient God, the searcher of the heart, and a discerner of the thoughts and intents of it, knows full well the use that is made of every man's gift, and the benefits and advantages arising from it, both for his own glory, and the good of souls; but these summons will be given, this account taken, and inquiry made, that these things which are known to him, might be made manifest to all, and every man have praise of God; whose will it is that he should have it, and sloth and negligence be justly punished.

Jesus' Answer
By Basilea Schlink98204:35Radio ShowMAT 27:25LUK 19:14ACT 2:21ROM 5:8EPH 2:8HEB 9:221PE 2:24In this sermon by Basilea Schlenk titled "Jesus' Answer," the speaker reflects on the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. She highlights how Jesus' sacrifice for the world was not valued by the people, who wanted to get rid of him because they deemed him unworthy. The brutality of the soldiers during the scourging symbolizes the rebellion of our hearts against God and our refusal to let Jesus rule over us. The sermon emphasizes the need to turn away from this rebellion and trust in God's love, as Jesus' blood was shed for our salvation.
If Any Man Thirst: Part Ii
By James Webster0PSA 39:5PSA 110:3MAT 5:6LUK 19:14JHN 4:10JHN 7:37James Webster preaches about the unwillingness of sinners to come to Christ, highlighting the black picture painted by Scripture of sinners in their natural state, devoid of strength and filled with a rooted hatred and rebellion against Christ. Despite the most advantageous circumstances, sinners remain unwilling to come to Christ, resisting His offers and defending their sin. However, those who thirst for Christ are allowed to come and drink from the fountain of living waters, with God the Father taking all glory for making them willing to come.
Luke 19:20-28. the Last Part of the Parable of the Ten Pounds.
By Favell Lee Mortimer0PSA 126:6ECC 11:1MAT 21:22LUK 19:14REV 22:3Favell Lee Mortimer preaches a powerful sermon on the parable that warns against not living to God's glory and the fatal sin of not making efforts to please our heavenly Master. Those who doubt God's promises of success in laboring for Him make Him a liar, as God remembers and blesses the efforts of His faithful servants beyond their expectations. The parable also alludes to the enemies who rejected Christ's reign, highlighting the courage of the Shepherd who led His flock to His sacrificial death in Jerusalem.

By John Nelson Darby0Grace and CompassionThe Love of ChristPSA 32:1ISA 53:5MAT 11:28LUK 19:14JHN 13:1JHN 15:13ROM 5:82CO 12:9EPH 2:41JN 4:9John Nelson Darby emphasizes the unwavering love of Christ as a source of comfort for believers, despite the indifference and hatred He faced from the world and even His own disciples. He illustrates how Jesus' love remained constant and unyielding, even in the face of betrayal and sin, demonstrating that His compassion is directed towards those who are lost and in need of grace. Darby encourages listeners to acknowledge their own weaknesses and the necessity of Christ's love in their lives, reminding them that Jesus loves His own 'unto the end' and meets them in their struggles. The sermon calls for a recognition of the depth of God's grace and the importance of sincerity in our relationship with Him.
