Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 12:32

32 Fear not little flock; for it is your Fathers good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Our Saviour had mentioned a Kingdom, v. 31. How much too big a thought was this for Fisher-men, and others of his poor Hearers to entertain? he therefore here assureth them of the thing, that they should have a Kingdom, and sheweth them that their Title to it was his and their Fathers Will, tho they were a little Flock, and so not like to Conquer a Kingdom upon Earth for themselves, yet they should have a Kingdom from the free Donation of him, who had Kingdoms to give, and would give it to them, because he was their Father. By this Kingdom can be understood nothing else, but that state of Honour, Glory and Dignity, which Believers shall have in the World that is to come, which they shall have not from Merit but Gift, not from the first good Motions, and Inclinations of their own Will, but from the free motions of the Divine Will, and therefore they had no reason to fear that God would not provide Food convenient for them. He that had provided a Kingdom for them, which he would one Day give unto them, would certainly provide Bread for them, and give it to them.
