Luke 17
Summary
Watch yourself! Don't fall into temptation. And don't be the one to lead others into temptation.
Forgive others; always forgive others, even if it's repeatedly.
When his disciples ask Jesus to increase their faith, he basically says, "You increase your faith!" That's an inside job.
Jesus reminds us not to think too highly of ourselves. God is the Master, we are not.
Be grateful.
The kingdom isn't what you think it is.
My take away
We have created a god that is in our image rather that recognizing that God has created us in his image. We have placed ourselves higher than we ought to, thinking that we deserve a seat at the Master's table. And because we have this distorted image of God, we also have a distorted image of his kingdom.
Be careful.
