Attitudes Encountered Forgiveness

1 ”There will always to be Luke 17 (NLT) 1 ”There will always to be temptation to sin…

“If another believer sins, then if there is repentance, 3 …so watch yourselves! “If another believer sins, rebuke that person; then if there is repentance, forgive.

4 Even if that person wrongs you seven times a day and each time turns again and asks forgiveness, you must forgive.”

5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.”

“If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, 6 The Lord answered,  “If you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree,

and be planted in the sea,’ ‘May you be uprooted and be planted in the sea,’ and it would obey you!

Sometimes what’s underground is far deeper than what’s on top. What’s growing down inside of you

7 “When a servant comes in from plowing ‘Come in and eat with me’? or taking care of sheep, does his master say, ‘Come in and eat with me’? 

‘Prepare my meal, put on your apron, 8 No, he says, ‘Prepare my meal, put on your apron, and serve me while I eat. Then you can eat later.’ 

9 And does the master thank the servant for doing what he was told to do? Of course not. 

when you obey Me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants 10 In the same way, when you obey Me you should say, ‘We are unworthy servants who have simply done our duty.’”

11 As Jesus continued on toward Jerusalem, between Galilee and Samaria He reached the border between Galilee and Samaria

12 As he entered a village there, ten men with leprosy stood at a distance… 

“Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 13 …crying out, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!”

14 He looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy.

when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, 15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God!” 

16 He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what He had done. This man was a Samaritan.

Where are the other nine? 17 Jesus asked,  “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? 

18 Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?”

19 And Jesus said to the man, Your faith has healed you.” “Stand up and go. Your faith has healed you.”
