Sin, Faith and Duty

 Luke 17:1-19

Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. So watch yourselves.

If they repent, forgive them. Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying ‘I repent,’ you must forgive them.

So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty. We are servants of the Lord, Be humble!

Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

Why?

Don't stumble over others, we would rather suffer loss. Be a good witness to attract others to come to Jesus instead of leading people down to ruin.

if they repent, forgive them because of the Love, God forgives us many times too. Even if it may be false repentance, we still give them a chance.

Only one ten of leprosy men came back to praise God, and others went away.

One of these leprosies is that Jesus really cleaned and his faith saved his life and body.

This is talking about the duty of a man: Don't stumble over others, Forgive anyone repent before me, do your job honesty, we are servants.

Faith may grow with many experiences through suffering and joy.

How?

Remember the mercy of the Lord may enter the kingdom of the Lord.
