#### Introduction 00:00 - The events from Luke 14-17 are connected with each other - In Luke 14, we read about the Lord having dinner at the home of a wealthy Pharisee and healed a man on the Sabbath. He told the Pharisee and the people attending about humility and the mercies of God - Then He left the dinner and continued to teach the crowds who followed him - huge multitude. He told them about the Principles of Discipleship, How to use Material Wealth without being a lover of money, rejection of the secular world, obedience to the law, and that these are necessary for discipleship. The teaching went from Luke 14-16. - Now He turns to the disciples and addresses them "Then He said to the disciples" #### Outline 02:07 - 1-2: Jesus Warns of Offenses - 3-4: Forgiveness - 5-10: Faith and Duty - 11-19: Ten Lepers Cleansed - 20-37: The Coming of the Kingdom #### Jesus Warns of Offenses 02:34 ¹ Then He said to the disciples, “It is impossible that no offenses should come, but woe *to him* through whom they do come! ²It 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. - Chapter 16 ended with Lazarus and the Rich Man. The Lord taught the disciples that eternity is real. There is real life after death! No one will come from the Paradise to warn us... so we need to be careful. When the rich man asked Abraham to send Lazarus to warn the people, Abraham refused and said "they have the Law and the Prophets. This is enough for them. If they don't follow the Law and Prophets, then even if one rose from the dead, they will not believe." - How we live, and how we reflect the image of Christ to others will count and determine our eternal salvation - Since the fall of Adam and Eve, this world became corrupted. Because of the corruption of the world, it is impossible that no offenses should come. If you are expecting a world without offenses, that is not realistic. - This shows the corre #### Forgiveness ³Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. ⁴And 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.” - #### Faith and Duty ⁵And the apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith.” ⁶So 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. ⁷And 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’? ⁸But 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’? ⁹Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not. ¹⁰So 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.’ ” - #### Ten Lepers Cleansed ¹¹Now it happened as He went to Jerusalem that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. ¹²Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. ¹³And they lifted up *their* voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” ¹⁴So when He saw *them,* He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. ¹⁵And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, ¹⁶and fell down on *his* face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. ¹⁷So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where *are* the nine? ¹⁸Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” ¹⁹And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” -

#### The Coming of the Kingdom ²⁰Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; ²¹nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” ²²Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see *it.* ²³And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Look there!’ Do not go after *them* or follow *them.* ²⁴For as the lightning that flashes out of one *part* under heaven shines to the other *part* under heaven, so also the Son of Man will be in His day. ²⁵But first He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. ²⁶And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: ²⁷They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. ²⁸Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; ²⁹but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed *them* all. ³⁰Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed. ³¹“In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods *are* in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back. ³²Remember Lot’s wife. ³³Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it. ³⁴I tell you, in that night there will be two *men* in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left. ³⁵Two *women* will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left. ³⁶Two *men* will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.” ³⁷And they answered and said to Him, “Where, Lord?” So He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.” -
