Luke 17:1-10, Think about a slave

1. Title: Think about what a slave should do 

2. Content
17:1 Jesus said to his disiples, ‘Occasions for stumbling are bound to come, but woe to anyone by whom they come!
17:2 It would be better for you if a milestone were hung around your neck and you were thrown into the sea than for you to cause one of these little ones to stumble.
17:3 Be on your guard! If another disciple sins, you must rebuke the offender, and if there is repentance, you must forgive.
17:4 And if the same person sins against you seven times a day, and turns back to you seven times and say, “I repent”, you must forgive.
17:5 The apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith!’
17:6 The Lord replied, ‘If you have faith the size of a musturd seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, “Be uprooted and planted in the sea”, and it would obey you.
17:7 Who among you would say to your slave who has hius come in from ploughing or tending sheep in the field, “Come here at once and take your place at the table”?
17:8 Would you not rather say to him, “Prepare supper for me, put on your apron and serve me while I eat and drink; later you may eat and drink”?
17:9 Do you think the slave for doing what was commended?
17:20 So you also, when you have done all that you were ordered to do, say, “We are worthless slaves; we have donw only what we ought to have done!”

touched verse: 17:1

3. Understanding
Man tends to sin and it is natural. I heard a good word, “Do not hate the person, hate the sin”. This means person is not perfect and he will sin many times irrespective of his will. So if someboby sins and repent, we should forgive him like 17:3-4. But if somebody did sin on purpose or for his profit, what should we do? After that he repent it, should we forgive him? At that time he was tempted by evil, so he did not notice what he did. I don’t have any idea of this. But if possible, somebody repent his sin, forgive him for sin is bound to men.

4. Who is God?
God knows the human nature. He disciples people. (Sin is for man, forgiveness is for God.)

5. Benifit on me
When somebody made a mistake or did a bad action, think about it. Do not judge him right now. Maybe I did sin many times, and people aound me would have a suffer. But they did not tell me every time, appreciate them.    

6. Apply
Be medest and humble. Thnik about what I did, and be carefull what I will do.   

7. Pray
Forgive me about sins that I made even I did not recognize it.

Luke 8-9

Luke
8:15
But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

Luke 8:49-50, 54-55
While Jesus was still speaking, someone came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler. “Your daughter is dead,” he said. “Don’t bother the teacher any more.”
Hearing this, Jesus said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid; just believe, and she will be healed.”

But he took her by the hand and said, “My child, get up!”
Her spirit returned, and at once she stood up. Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.

Luke 9:22, 44
And he said, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.”
“Listen carefully to what I am about to tell you: The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men.”

Luke 9:23
Then he said to them all: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
==> deny flesh side of mankind, remember your sin be reborn, and follow the word.

He said to another man, “Follow me.” But the man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
==> Why didn’t he reply direct? Just priority problem. Don’t think detail.

Luke 9:61-62
Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family.”
Jesus replied, “No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
