Lessons on Service, Faith and Influence, Luke 17.1-10
At this point Jesus began to instruct His disciples more fully as the time drew near for going to the cross. Note that He is speaking directly to His disciples. The Pharisees had been treating the tax collectors and sinners who crowded around Jesus with contempt. He warns the disciples against having a similar attitude that might cause the outcasts who had turned to Jesus for refuge to stumble. But regardless of how hard they try, He tells them that temptations are bound to come, but by God’s grace it is possible to prevent one from being one of the tempters. And a wrong attitude on the part of a disciple could easily cause the disliked one to sin by returning evil for evil.
