Luke 17:1-19
Luke 17:1-10
Anger & Gratefulness
1 Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe to him through whom they do come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. 3 Take heed to yourselves.
If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times in a day returns to you, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.”
5 And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” 6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you.
7 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? 8 But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? 9 Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. 10 So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’
1. Don’t cause others to be angry (1-2)
2. Don’t let your anger continue (3-4)
3. Think very highly of God (5-6)
4. Think very lowly of yourself (7-10)
Proverbs 19:11
A man's wisdom gives him patience;
it is to his glory to overlook an offense.
Proverbs 16:32
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,
And he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
Proverbs 25:28
Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls.
Luke 17:11-19
Learning to be Grateful
1. Leprosy was a common physical disease of the flesh
2. Sin is a common spiritual disease of the flesh
3. Sin separates us from God
4. Jesus is the source of healing
5. Only a small percentage of people learn to be grateful
