Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 12:14

"But he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?" — Luke 12:14 (ASV)

And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?

Some present-day minister, if this request had been made to him, would probably have said, "Well, I may save some litigation, perhaps, if I attend to this matter." As a general rule, brother, you had better mind your own business. Your Master, who was far wiser than you are, would not entangle himself with the affairs of this life; and, usually, true wisdom suggests that we also should keep ourselves apart from them.
